11/20/12 Bowling Regional Host, Alignment, and Sanctioning Updates

November 20, 2012 Bowling Blog Updates

Welcome to our new schools this 2012-13 bowling season!  We are excited to announce that we have had ten new teams show interest in adding bowling this season.  As we grow the sport activity of bowling, change will come with this growth.  We, at the KHSAA office, are working at being flexible and open-minded to change and we know that schools are doing the same.

We have received several emails asking about regional information. Please read this information carefully and let us know if there are any changes that need to be made to the regional host.  This information was taken directly from the plans turned in by schools last season.

Regional Competition dates are January 22 through February 2, 2013.

See link to KHSAA calendar for current and future reference-http://khsaa.org/general/calendar/

Regional Host Schools for 2013 are as follows – 

Region 1 – Paducah Tilghman @ (need site)

Region 2 – Central Hardin @ Dixie-E’town Lanes

Region 3 – Bullitt Central @ Ken Bowl

Region 4 – Trinity @ (need site)

Region 5 – Bishop Brossart @ (need site)

Region 6 – Lloyd Memorial @ Super Bowl Erlanger

Region 7 – Harrison County @ (need site)

Region 8 – Montgomery County @ Sterling Lanes

Regional Host should remember that the center in which they choose to host  the regional competition shall have a minimum of 18 lanes. Also to be considered shall be the amount of travel expected by schools if on multiple days and on multiple weekends.  Parking and spectator space should also be considered when choosing a host center.

Alignment – for 2012-2013 (See new schools who may have added bowling this year).  It is the responsibility of the host school to contact all schools in their regional alignment.

Sanctioning – After further review and research, we have found that there is not a need at this time for this office to sanction bowling tournament.  This means that schools do not need to notify the KHSAA office when hosting teams from out of state, nor your participation in out of state tournaments.  This policy will be reviewed each year.
