A Bowliards contest will run all month and Mondays feature the Table Challenge competition.<\/p>\n<p>Grab a friend or just play Bowliards against anybody in the bar any day before 8pm. A $10 one-time entry fee gets you a score sheet and you can play as much or as little of the game as you want on each visit. All games must be completed by July 1.<\/p>\n<p>The four top scorers will compete in the Rose (Phillips) Bowliards on July 2 for the guaranteed $100 top prize. When more than 10 people have joined, the prize will go up, according to organizer Ken Phillips. Don\u2019t like your score? For another 10 bucks you can buy another sheet.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s Bowliards? In case you missed USSP\u2019s earlier contests, it\u2019s pool that\u2019s scored like bowling. You have two turns to shoot at 10 balls.  Make a \u201cstrike\u201d by pocketing them in one turn and a \u201cspare\u201d by using two turns. Then you move on to the next frame until you\u2019ve finished the game.<\/p>\n<p>Give it a try. It\u2019s one of the best practice games around. And, don\u2019t forget, pool is free from 5pm to 7pm as long as you buy a beverage and Happy Hour prices run until 9pm.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got one for the kings and queens of the table out there too, says Phillips. It\u2019s winner-take-all for whoever can hold the table in 8-ball on Mondays starting at 8pm. For $2.50 you challenge the table. After everyone plays their first game the winners meet and the losers go to the end of the waiting list. Latecomers come before the losers for their first game.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s another $2.50 to challenge again and whoever has won the most games by midnight has bragging rights and the pot. If you have any questions about either contest, call USSP at 233-0013 after 5pm.
