Here’s how we roll:
Each team consists of 4 players in 3 possible Divisions:
Men’s, Women’s, and Co-ed: (2 Men and 2 Women)
**(No one under 21 is permitted to enter—if in question, bring ID)**
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the tournament as follows:
**Lowest 3 team scores in Each Division **
**"Best Dressed" Teams **
**Best Decorated Coolers (be creative with how you tote your drinks)**
*Irish Road Bowling is lots of fun and easy to learn---a great way to have some fun and get some exercise
*Irish Road Bowling is NOT a race—go for accuracy and distance, not speed
*The rules are simple—"Bowl" a small cannonball as far as you can down a country road
*Scoring is on the honor system---about like keeping score for golf
*The 4 team members rotate turns---hurling the ball down the road as far as they can
*The throw is done underhanded---similar to bowling
*Team-mates are 20-30 yards down the road—watching where their team’s ball stops
*A chalk mark is made on the road—where the ball stops rolling (on or off the road – Team members cannot stop the ball while it is in motion)
*Sometimes the hardest part of the game is finding the lost ball---misguided balls can sometimes end up in ditches, cornfields, creeks, etc.
*How do you win?—The team with the fewest number of "rolls" at the end of the course wins.
*Entry Fee is $140 per team which includes a $20 deposit for the ball---$20 will be returned at the end of the course when the ball is returned.
*Entry Fee includes---food and music
*Every player MUST wear tennis shoes---For your safety, sandals and flip-flops will not be permitted
*Parking and Check-In time starting at Noon at the Ireland Sportsman Club--Players ONLY and their coolers will be transported to the starting point. The bowling course is closed to through traffic.
*Bring your own beverages for the day—No motorized vehicles are permitted on the course, but pull wagons and coolers with wheels are allowed. (Don’t forget to decorate them!)—NO LITTERING!
*There will be port-a-potties along the course---Please use them!
*"Playing through" is allowed---please be respectful of the other teams
*For Safety Reasons – "Lofting" of balls is not allowed.
