I thought I would take a moment to layout of how the assessments to a bowler are determined when you qualify for a national competition.

Congratulations you made it!  Now what?

1. The NWT 5 Pin assesses our zone $1200/bowler to cover airfare, lodging and tournament costs.
2. In order to lessen that financial burden to our bowlers, the Zone long ago decided that if a bowler volunteered for a Bingo we would reduce the fee passed on to the bowler.
3. Great, how much?
4. Basically, $25/hour volunteered is reduced from that $1200 up to a minimum assessment of $300.
5. There are other ways to get volunteer hours; volunteer for the board of either the YK zone or the NWT 5, or get a friend to help at a bingo.

The NWT Open is right around the corner scheduled for Feb 23-24.  There is a slight change to the format this year as the YBC 4 Steps participants will be joining us on Sunday for their 5 game roll-off.  It should prove informative for the Youth's as they get to see that there is bowling after YBC, and who knows they might stick around to see the step-ladder.

For more information please see the tournament page.  The rough schedule is posted there as well.

The qualifiers for the interprovincial will be running throughout the month of February, and taking your first 9 games against the average you held at the start of the month the TOP 4 people will advance on our team to Charlotte Town.

I will post the standings for the Thursday league as they are completed.
