Teams are redrawn for each game and no two bowlers should play together more than once. You do not necessarily have to play all the games to win the Grand Prize. Prizes awarded for each game.

This will be a very fun event and a great chance to enjoy our long summer evenings in Edmonton. This is a great event for our new members to get to know our other club members and experience some other bowling formats.

In order to properly plan for food and games we need to know how many are coming. So please complete the registration below.

Games for the Sundowner III Event

The Roundabout …..

Six end triples game … with each bowler throwing 3 bowls. Game starts as per normal and is scored as per normal. After one end in each direction is played, all bowlers on both teams rotate one position. The original skip becomes the lead, the lead goes to second (vice skip) and the second moves down the rink to become the skip for the next end. After two more ends are scored, all bowlers on both teams rotate one position again in the same manner as the first. After six ends, each team member will have played two ends in each position and each direction. Any and all touchers (touchers must touch the jack on their original roll) score a bonus point for their team even if they do not otherwise score.

Vegas Bowls - Roll It – Then Bowl It

Six end triples game … with each bowler throwing 3 bowls & abnormal scoring. Teams randomly chosen for a six end game with abnormal scoring. Flip a coin or bowl to determine who starts. Before the jack and bowls are delivered in each end, a bowler from the team leading off will roll the giant dice. The resulting throw will determine what scoring option will be used for that particular end. There will be six possible outcomes to start but once a number has been thrown that die number cannot be used again in the same game. All six options have to be used at some point in each game. Once the scoring option is decided the leadoff team throws the jack and starts the end. After the first end, the team closest to the jack always gets to roll the die for the next end and will throw out the jack for next end as well.

Regular rules and scoring apply with the following exceptions ….

Roll a 1. The jack is not rolled but is placed on the T line to start

Roll a 2. No bowls fully behind the jack count

Roll a 3. Team closest to the jack gets a bonus point

Roll a 4. The two closest bowls to the jack are removed and do not count

Roll a 5. Cutthroat scoring, 4,3,2,1 points for the four closest bowls

Roll a 6. Team closest to the jack can chose which of the first 5 options apply if available

Six end Aussie Doubles – Cutthroat Ten

Regular 4 bowl Aussie Doubles game with an optional scoring twist. Once in each game, each team gets to declare, if they chose to, that the scoring will be Cutthroat and worth 4,3,2 and 1 point for the four closest bowls in that end. They must do that once the first four bowls are thrown in an end (when the bowlers change positions). If no declaration is made by either team then regular scoring is used. Because both teams can score in cutthroat, the team with the closest bowl (4 pointer) will lead off the next end otherwise the scoring team leads off the next.
