The Regional Players
Championship-East, which is open to all PBA members except for those who
finished among the top 32 in competition points during the 2011-12 PBA Tour
season, will also pay a $6,000 first prize based upon a capacity field of 200
players.
Scott Newell of
Deland, FL, who went on to win his first PBA Tour title in the Xtra Frame Tour
Ricart Ford Open in Columbus during the 2011-12 season, is the defending
RPC-East champion.
Following
Friday, May 25, practice and pro-am events, the RPC-East gets underway with an
eight-game qualifying round Saturday. The top one-third of the field will
advance to a four-game cashers’ round Sunday morning, with the top 32 (based on
170 entries) moving on. Additional two-game elimination rounds will follow at 11
a.m., noon and 1 p.m. with the field being trimmed in half after each
round.
At 2
p.m., the four surviving players will bowl one more game, with total pinfall for
19 games deciding the champion.
The
entry fee will be $295. One in three entries will cash with last-to-cash
guaranteed to pay a minimum of $600. For additional entry and prize fund
