Description
The Chili Bowl is our last club tournament of the season and is open to all club bowlers. Participants sign up as individuals and the tournament director(s) assign two large, evenly ranked teams (Chili Roja or Chili Verde), which compete against each other in a variety of lawn bowling disciplines which may include singles, pairs, triples and fours in the morning and afternoon. In each game you will be playing with different partners against a different opponent. The competing particpants and teams earn points based on whether they win or lose and by how many points per game. At the end of play, the top-scoring team (Chili Roja or Chili Verde) is declared the tournament winner.
As the name of the tournament suggests, chili creation and consumption plays a major role! A number of various styles of chili will be available for breakfast, brunch, lunch and during breaks between games. Our fourth annual chili contest will offer participants the chance to vote for their favorite chili and crown a chili champ (by vote) next to the bowling team champs (by performance). The entry fee supports the day-long chili brunch. And if you are not a chili fan, we will have light breakfast basics available as well as Mac N Cheese at lunch. If you would like to prepare a chili this year, please email Steve Hoelter at: stevehoelter@gmail.com specifying the type of chili you will offer. The first five accepted chilis are entered into the chili champ contest voted on by participants. Chili contestants supply a large crockpot of chili which can be plugged in at the clubhouse and must bring serving utensils and any condiments or garnishes to compliment. Please also mail Steve if you can provide your famous Mac N Cheese dish. All Chili or Mac N Cheese entries receive free tournament entry.
