EAST LANSING, MI (WTVB) – The Michigan High School Athletic Association has announced a revision for its girls and boys Bowling Regionals and Finals in an effort to reduce the mixing of communities and the spread of COVID-19.
Regional competition will still be a two-day event but the boys will compete on Friday, March 19 while the girls will compete on Saturday, March 20.
All Regional participants will bowl four regular games on their designated day, with those scores determining the Finals qualifiers for both formats.
No Baker games will be rolled at Regionals. Instead, 20 regular games will be counted toward a team’s score. Those 20 regular games may be bowled four each by five bowlers or subs, with the maximum of four games per bowler. A bowler must roll four games to qualify for Finals in singles.
Two teams instead of three along with 10 singles will advance to the MHSAA Finals on March 26 and 27.
At the Finals, teams will compete Friday and singles Saturday. At the Finals, the traditional scoring for team competition will continue to be used.
Bowling the boys and girls on separate days for Regionals will allow host bowling centers to spread competitors out among twice as many lanes.
Fewer team qualifiers for Finals also will limit congestion at those four sites.
Spectator limits at Regionals and Finals will be determined locally following Michigan Department of Health and Human Services orders and fire marshal capacity limits at centers. Spectators will not exceed one per participant.
