BIDDING

Local Unions bidding for the Tournament must indicate in writing the following information:

1. Letter of invitation approved by Local Union membership and signed by officers of the Local Union.
2. Verification from the Host hotel that a minimum of 200 rooms are available and reserve 150.
3. Verification from the Host bowling lanes that the necessary lanes have been reserved.

This information must be submitted to the International Chairman prior to the Team Captain’s meeting.
No bids will be accepted from the floor.
The Host Local shall be selected at the Team Captain’s meeting two years in advance.

If no Local submits a bid within the two-year period, a Local may still apply by submitting the required information to the
International Chairman and a vote by the International Committee shall determine the Host Local.

In the case of more than one Local bidding for the same Tournament, the vote shall be taken by written ballot and
a majority vote determines the winner.

No Local may host the Tournament twice within a five-year period unless no other bids are received.
