Re entries will be permitted based on availability after all first entries have been assigned. In the event we have more reentries than space permits, spots will be given away in a lottery format. This means each bowler will be placed on a waiting list. After the number of available entries is known, numbers will be drawn permitting those players on the waiting list to reenter. Anyone forfeiting their spot after being drawn will be replaced by having another number drawn to replace them. No trading of spots will be allowed.
