The NDBowling.com Tour returns this season, and the NDBowling.com Scratch Rankings will be making its debut. Both contain the same points system, but are different in many ways including prizes, schedule, and entry fee. Today, we will illustrate the differences in the two as well as highlight the things you need to know before the NDBowling.com Kickoff Classic in Jamestown on October 25th & 26th.
NDBowling.com Tour
The NDBowling.com Tour was created in 2013 and featured a series of events from various locations in North Dakota where bowlers would earn points at each stop. At the conclusion of the season, the top point earner would be named NDBowling.com Player of the Year and the top 5 in the final point standings would be named NDBowling.com Team of the Year. The Tour returns this season with a few changes. The schedule looks fairly similar to last season, but the cost has gone from free to $10. This change was made in order to alleviate who is and is not entered into the tour as well as provide a prize for our player and team of the year winners. All entry fees will go to the prize fund and will be awarded to the top 5 only (Player and Team of the Year winners). $10 Entry MUST be paid before players can earn points.
Points earned at the NDBPA Doubles & Team events will be based on the SCRATCH SINGLES OPTION FINAL STANDINGS. You MUST enter the scratch singles option to earn points at these two events.
Standings will be posted on the “tour” tab and updated following each Tour event.
Ties will be determined by the State Scratch All Events Final Standings. State Tournament will be held at Midway Lanes in Mandan, ND this season.

Scratch Players Ranking
What is it?
The NDBowling.com Scratch Players Rankings will make its debut this season. The Scratch Rankings were designed to give bowlers a way of determining how they fare against the best in the region. You can read about the creation of the scratch rankings and points system HERE.
What does it cost?
The cost to enter the Scratch Rankings is $10. THIS FEE IS A ONE TIME FEE FOR LIFE! The fee is designed to once again determine who is and is not entered, and the fee is also designed to help support NDBowling.com/NDBowlTV ventures. A paid Scratch Rankings membership will also come with a free NDBowling.com Patch. You can sign up below. Remember, you DO NOT need PayPal to purchase your membership online.
~What you need to know~
Bowlers must have paid their $10 membership in order to start earning points.
Points will remain with bowler until that particular event the following season.
Points will be updated and posted on the “Rankings” tab after each ranking event.
Points earned at the NDBPA Doubles & Team events will be based on the SCRATCH SINGLES OPTION FINAL STANDINGS. You MUST enter the scratch singles option to earn points.
