Airs on 07/02/17 at Sunshine Challenge Pam McIntosh & KO Mitchell Orlando Senate Details for Senate Representation in the Sunshine Challenge Bragging Rights Effective June 2017 Content herein details senate procedures for the selection of members who represent the Greater Orlando TNBA Senate in the Sunshine Challenge Bragging Rights (BR) Tournament. Details are contained below: The member must be in good financial standing with TNBA and USBC for the season the competition is held. No member of either organization under suspension can represent the Orlando Senate in the Bragging Rights Competition. Neither can any member who has held a Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) card for the previous (1) year represent the Senate in the Bragging Rights Event. Members interested in representing the Orlando Senate must first and foremost, be currently registered as a member of the Greater Orlando Senate. The member must have participated in at least one Senate sponsored event during the year prior to the Sunshine Challenge. By definition a Senate sponsored event is defined as: a. meetings, b. a Senate tournaments, c. in-kind or financial support to a Orlando Senate program, d. participation in a senate social activity a special or community senate project. If the member is interested in representing the Senate, he or she must bowl his or her Orlando team event in a Senate approved version of the Senate uniform shirt, bowling jersey or blouse (top). That garment must have a version of the Orlando Senate logo clearly displayed. Although not required each member should also wear black or khaki slacks, bowling skirts with the

4 uniform top to compliment the uniform appearance (bottom). Under no circumstances will any new member who joins the Senate less than 30 days prior to the Sunshine Challenge be eligible to represent the Senate in the BR event. This detail reduces the likelihood of walk-on new member who have not had an opportunity to build a relationship with or an understanding of the Orlando Senate. Prior to the Friday Challenge events, the Vice President will assemble a work committee to collect and develop a preliminary slate of senate members who might represent Orlando in the Bragging Rights competition. Work committee members will explain to each senate member at the time they collect Friday recap squad scores two major points; (1) that each bowler has the responsibility to get the score sheet to the worker, (2) that the member must agree to return to the bowling center no later than 12:00 p.m. Saturday if it appears he or she has a chance to represent the Senate. If not selected, participating Orlando Bragging Rights would appreciate the member support. If the senate member says that he or she cannot return on Saturday or does not agree to represent the senate that Friday, the work committee will not place his or her name on a BR team. The work committee will not use Battle of the Sexes recap scores to select potential senate team members to compete in the Bragging Rights event. The Vice President s work committee will use the highest scratch series that a senate member bowls as a member of a senate team on Friday or Saturday morning prior to the Bragging Rights event to select teams that will represent the senate in the BR competition. The work committee will only use qualifying scores bowled by members on an Orlando Team. An Orlando team will be defined as a team consisting of at least five members currently registered as members of the Greater Orlando Senate. However, senate members may participate as members of other senates' teams, even though those scores will not be eligible for Orlando BR. The bowler has the responsibility to insure he or she is a member of an Orlando team prior to the entry closing date. The tournament director may be able to place the member on a team if the bowler cannot assemble a team or is not already on an Orlando team (no guarantee is implied). The tournament director normally compiles a list of interested individual bowlers. The Vice President and the work committee will assemble a slate of seven bowlers to participate in each team category (classic men and women; senior men and women). If for some reason the 5 top bowlers on the list in each category are unwilling or unable to compete in the event, the work committee will move the next bowler on the list into the 5th team participation slot. Depending on the number of eligible classic bowlers, the work committee reserves the right to place a senior on a classic team. Essentially, if the work committee does not have enough classic bowlers, it may place a senior bowler on a classic team. The Vice President and work committee will compile the participant list in a remote area within the bowling center. Once lists are done, the VP will announce bowlers in each participation category to senate members in a designated assembly area. Compiling list as bowlers look on creates significant opportunities for disruptions, as the committee works against hard deadlines imposed by the Challenge Event Director. If a member desires to appeal the work committee's decisions on content contained herein, the Senate Executive Committee will note the same. The chance of the appeal being resolved prior to the start of the Bragging Rights event is slim. Even so, the leadership will address the issue at the next formal Senate meeting and make adjustments as the Senate may deem appropriate. The Vice President will present these procedures to members in August of each season for review and changes if needed. It behooves each senate member to be present at that August meeting of each year to provide feedback. As reflected in Senate By Laws, the number of officers and members present at a posted meetings has the authority to approve changes

5 within the realm of senate business. As a matter of transparent communications, the Vice President or a designee will review the content herein at the posted meeting for June of each year. A copy of these details will remain on the Senate Website: Greaterorlandotnba.webs.com. Motion moved to have rules as printed by KO Mitchell and seconded by Dave Daniels. Vote carried unanimously.
