Welcome to the 2021 Ebonite Warhawk Open
This year we are making a change of our tournament to take place MARCH 13 & 14, 2021 and will be a ONE DAY EVENT. With USBC announcing the season not starting until January 1, we were forced to push our tournament back several months. The finalized tournament information and entry form can be found throughout the website. This years event will be hosted at Stardust Bowl and Elk Grove Bowl; both just outside of the Chicago metropolitan area.
UPDATE 1/18/2021
*We will be limiting our entries to our event:
MEN/MIXED: 20 varsity/JV on Saturday, 20 varsity/JV on Sunday
WOMEN:13 varsity/JV Saturday, 13 varsity/JV Sunday
*Offer a one day tournament with men/mixed and women at separate facilities (men/mixed @ Stardust/, women @Elk Grove)
*Create as much social distancing possible; one team per pair of lanes with a pair of lanes between teams
*No spectators will be allowed inside of either facility
*Spaces to be cleaned between use
*Team/coach rosters will be capped to 10 people (8 athletes, 2 coaches, NO ONE ELSE CAN ENTER THE FACILITY)

*Keeping The Tournament In Greater Chicago*
For the fourth year, both the men's divisions will be competing at Stardust Bowl in Addison, IL (west Suburb of Chicago). However, due to COVID19 restrictions/spacing/numbers, the women's division will take place at Elk Grove Bowl in Elk Grove Village, IL (less than 20 minutes away from Stardust Bowl).
*WOSS*
In an effort to help teams have day trips for their teams, we will not host the Friday night singles event (Warhawk Open Singles Sweeper). We will plan to run this event in conjunction with a on Friday evening, prior to the team competition on Saturday and Sunday.
*Tournament Format* NEW FOR JUST THIS YEAR: ONE DAY FORMAT
6 traditional games will be bowled in a ONE DAY TOURNAMENT FORMAT. Pick the day you would like to compete (Saturday OR Sunday). Scores from the Saturday shift and Sunday shift will be combined to produce a tournament winner. We have fielded questions as to why we aren't doing two different one-day events; our hope is to have as many varsity teams compete as possible so there are more potential powerpoints to be awarded.
*Team Entry Late Fee*
In an effort to ensure teams/spots/rosters, entry fees are due by Monday February 15th, 2021. Fees paid after that date will be charged a rate of $155 per team ($25 late fee) and/or subject to losing their spot to any team on a waiting list. NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED THIS YEAR, unless enough time is provided for a potential team on a waiting list to make arrangements to travel/participate in the event.
