Gem Series<br />
Introduced in 2010, this bracket<br />
product is designed specifically so<br />
bowlers will face only bowlers in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
division. The cost will be $10 per bracket,<br />
and bowlers may enter up to 20.<br />
This product will be set up like a<br />
traditional eight-person bracket, but<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> using individual games,<br />
winners each round will be determined<br />
by <strong>the</strong>ir three-game series in team,<br />
doubles and singles. This new format<br />
makes things a little more exciting and<br />
gives you a chance to bounce back from<br />
a bad game.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r unique aspect <strong>of</strong> this product<br />
is that it will be tournament-long. All<br />
bowlers will be randomly placed into <strong>the</strong><br />
brackets at <strong>the</strong> conclusion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 2011<br />
USBC Women’s Championships, and<br />
winners will be determined. The winner<br />
<strong>of</strong> each bracket will receive $50, while <strong>the</strong><br />
runner-up receives $20.<br />
Handicap for <strong>the</strong> Gem Series will be<br />
100 percent <strong>of</strong> 450 for Sapphire Division<br />
bowlers, 100 percent <strong>of</strong> 540 for those in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Ruby Division and 100 percent <strong>of</strong> 660<br />
for Diamond Division bowlers.<br />

going to an all-handicap format in<br />

bowlers, and a chance to earn some<br />
additional prize money.<br />

<strong>the</strong> conclusion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tournament. The<br />
