Tournament Payout Information

EXCITING NEWS - Please share with all tournament bowlers!!

A few years ago, our Association was in need of change for tournament payouts.  We consistently heard bowlers discussing the low payouts for tournament winners. 

Your current Association Board has worked hard to listen to you and to bring competitive tournaments to our area for our bowlers. We don't always hit the mark when making changes, but the focus on INCREASING TOURNAMENT PAYOUTS has not only hit the mark, but we are exceeding our initial ideas of how increases would look, and how we could accomplish it.  

Costs continue to increase for running these tournaments - and the bowlers are paying the increased costs.  Despite the increased expenses, we have dramatically increased payouts for these tournaments! 

I was recently comparing numbers from last season to the current tournament season, and I am excited to share the improvements with you! Below are our first three tournaments of this season as compared to our the same tournaments last season.  

Tournament Prize Fund payout Total 23/24 Season Prize Fund payout Total 24/25 Season
No Tap $2079 $2516
Scotch Doubles $2356 $4200
Trios $4560 $7011

I pulled another random comparison to see how we have done for a few top payouts.  As an example, in 2018, the GRSUSBC paid the top winner of the Masters Division $500.  In 2024, we paid the top winner $945.  This is just ONE division.  This increase happened across all divisions.  

This board cares about the overall Association financial security, and making your tournament experience worth your entry fee.
