FORMATS & PROCEDURES
The basic NABI tournament format consists of multiple qualifying squads consisting of 3 games. Qualifying cuts may be by the squad, by the day, or in the beat the board format.  Qualifying may be determined by a cut ratio ( 1 of every ? entries ),or a specified number of qualifiers (Top ? advance from each cut).  However, a minimum of one of every six entries will cash at each regular format NABI tournament. Bowlers that advanced from the qualifying squads then bowl a 3 game semifinal block, to try to advance to the finals.  As a rule, pins are not carried over from round to round.  The top 5 handicap scores from the semifinal round then advance to a Pro-Style stepladder final.  The 5th seed bowls the 4th seed, the winner bowls the 3rd seed, etc.. until a new champion is crowned.  Winners of local NABI tournaments also receive as part of their prize package, an entry into the National Tournament of Champions, which pays the winner $5,000.00 every summer in Las Vegas! 100% of all prizes are returned to the members the same weekend, at the completion of the tournament.
