The host school will be one of those schools assigned. • The 3-4 schools bowling in the afternoon session are those the farthest from the site. • Competition will include 3 American Tenpin Games and 4 Baker Games. • The state qualifiers will be determined based on results from both sessions. • State qualifiers will be announced from the KSHSAA as soon as results are received from the tournament manager.

WEB STREAMING FOR POSTSEASON BOWLING Given the nature of competition for bowling, having a single broadcast is not feasible. However, the KSHSAA will allow each school to provide their own web stream for their patrons. One person from your school (suggest it be team manager) will be allowed to set up a camera, tablet, or phone to stream their competition. Schools shall make their own arrangements accordingly as far as equipment and internet (mobile hot spot). Parents streaming from their phones to social media is prohibited. Schools shall communicate appropriately where patrons can view the web stream. This will be at no cost to the school. COACH LIMITS @ POSTSEASON Because of social distancing and limited attendance at postseason bowling tournaments, school teams are limited to 2 COACHES ONLY at both regional and stae tournaments. At the state tournament, individual qualifying bowlers will be allowed 1 COACH ONLY. If a school qualifies 3 individual bowlers, they may have 2 coaches.
