Verification & Prize Claims
Everything you need to know before, during, and after your squad to collect your prizes.
Enter before your first frame. You may enter for any squad of any Hoinke Classic event.
All awards must be verified by a monitor. Each Break the Bank game must be verified by the Welcome Center immediately after bowling.
Complete your affidavit and claim prizes within 72 hours.
Just for the Fun of It cash awards are payable after the event, following verification and presentation of the affidavit.
Break the Bank payout requires a signed affidavit and average verification from your association secretary.
The first person to have a qualifying jackpot score sheet verified by the control desk wins. If two bowlers arrive simultaneously, they split the 70% winner's share.
An incorrect average that places you in the wrong division forfeits the jackpot money back into Break the Bank.
All action is handled by Tournament Office personnel. Game rules and prize money are subject to change.
