Chris
Wall Memorial Scholarship Classic 2010 Event on Labor Day weekend
Chris Wall,
was an SSJBA member when he died at a very young age, but not before he
demonstrated to those who knew him what being a
True Sportsman
meant. In his honor, we all assemble and
enjoy his favorite SPORT with our
family, friends and fellow bowlers.
Come
and bowl – enjoy Family and others – be a True
Sportsman yourself. You will not
have a better time bowling whether you are a Youth
enjoying the chance to
participate with an Adult OR an
Adult being able to try and keep up with these Youth bowlers.
Chris'
parents Herb and Glenda Wall still participate in conducting the show. Between the Hartigans, the Walls and the
other Tupelo bowlers,
You will surely
get the chance to experience the Hospitality claimed by this corner of the
South.
Beginning
Saturday September 4th and continuing throughout the entire Labor
Day Weekend the:
17th
Annual Chris Wall Memorial Scholarship Classic will be going on in Tupelo, MS
at Rebelanes.
SSJBA bowlers are familiar with the center
and know the Proprietors Kevin and Lisa Hartigan (parents of Lucas Hartigan and
Tim Hartigan).
The event is a Youth/Adult No Tap Tournament held in eight (8) squads: 1pm,
3pm and 5pm on Saturday, same three
squads on Sunday
and
then 2 squads at 9am and 11am on Monday (Labor Day). Labor Day semifinals and finals begin
approximately 1pm and finish before 4pm.
The divisions are by AGE, with four
divisions: Division 4 - 6, 7 & 8
year old competitors, Division 3 –
9, 10 & 11 year old competitors,
Division
2 – 12, 13 & 14 year old competitors & Division 1 – 15, 16 & 17 year old
competitors. The Adults can be as old
(or young)
as
they want to claim. Besides the Champion
thru sixth place scholarships for each division, there are two additional
scholarships in
each
division for Family Teams - consisting of a child and their Parent or
Grandparent. End result is, $1600 for
scholarships awarded in each division.
Division 3 & 4
bowlers get to roll using 8 pinfall or greater as a Strike. Division
1 & 2 bowlers get to roll using 9 or greater pinfall
as a Strike.
All
Adults use the 9 pin rule. The first

and subsequent entries are
$24 or $12 each participant.
As
at SSJBA events you may go to Tupelo without an Advance entry and register on
arrival. IF you are one of those Monday
hopefuls who show up
only on the final day,
be aware that the two Labor Day shifts are usually FULL, so advance
registration may be necessary.
