"It's a lot of work. We start working on it in the spring and we're very fortunate to have 80 sponsors that sponsor our event. So we've been really fortunate over these 16 years from our community, local bowling centers in the area, all sponsor this event and that's kind of the way we get away with doing a national stop super regional tournament so we're very lucky to have those sponsors and it's just a fun weekend," said Rick Hartings, owner of Pla-Mor Lanes.
The top prize for first place in the tournament is $10,000.
