01/11/23 – Regional Bowling Entries For Unified & Adapted Athletes

January 11, 2023 Bowling Blog Updates

The KHSAA will continue to offer Unified (in partnership with Special Olympics Kentucky) and Adapted events to include regional and state bowling competitions. While most unified and/or adapted athletes have been participating throughout the season, it is important to review the following information prior to the start of the postseason.

Unified partner athletes and special athletes must be listed on the Unified roster in the KHSAA database and each school needs to check the box for a Unified Team if they wish to compete in the regional and/or state competition. The bowling head coach or Athletic Director for each participating member school should enter Unified student-athletes on its postseason roster on the KHSAA database for Unified bowling.

From that postseason roster, coaches can submit regional entries to the regional manager, via Form BW 127, four (4) days prior to the first day of each regional tournament. A student-athlete must be listed on the roster in order to participate in the postseason. Form BW 127 is an online form and is currently open and accepting entries. Please keep in mind, each school can enter up to eight (8) unified pairs into the postseason. 

Adapted athletes will also need to be entered through BW 127. Currently, there is not a roster system in the KHSAA database for adapted athletes, but coaches can enter athletes in the regional competition through BW 127.

BW 127 will be utilized for entering unified or adapted bowlers. Please use the link below to enter unified or adapted athletes. Do not use the form BW110 to enter Unified and Adapted entrants. Any forms submitted prior to January 11, 2023, should be resubmitted to make sure they are received by the proper Regional Manager.
