COVID - 19 : As bowling alleys begin to open, we will do everything in our power to keep

every one safe, by following the CDC guidelines according to the Centers protocol.

We will have Disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer on each pair of lanes.

There will only be 3-4 bowlers on a pair of lanes and each will only bowl on the left lane.

2 spectator for each bowler will stay on the concourse behind the pair of lanes.

Bowlers will only move a pair of lanes to the right after 2 games.

We will have volunteers wiping down tables and areas needed. Please hand washing is advised.

No Hand/body contact will be made among the bowlers, for example High fives. 

Bowlers will have seats available for them and be spaced out when we are able too.

Face Masks are optional unless the CDC and Bowling Center guidelines require them.

GLJGT will have extra face masks if needed.  GLJGT will be taking temps and may have

you sign a waver before you bowl that will not hold GLJGT or the bowling alley

 responsible if you get sick with Covid-19. If you feel sick or have any symptoms,

please stay home, and we can refund your entry or forward it to another event.

so that we can have a successful event. Welcome Back!!

NOTE: IF THE GUIDELINES ARE LIFTED OR CHANGED WILL WILL ALSO CHANGE 

ACCORDINGLY.

 Trouble shooting : Call us 269-579-1368 if you have online troubles 

Sometimes the birthdate cut offs can be confusing to figure out, especially if you have a bowler who is age 12, 15, 17, 20. 

I have developed this to help you better understand, if you still need help making sure your in the correct division.  

If a bowler turns 12, 15, or 18 anytime after Aug 1, 2020.    You stay in your age division of U12, U15, U18.

A bowler in the U20 division cannot turn 21 before July 31, 2021.  If they turn 21 after July 31, 2021 they can bowl U20.

If a bowler turns 12, 15, or 18 anytime from Jan 1, 2020  - July 31, 2021 you move up division.

All other ages will fall in between U12, U15, U18, U20 divisions.

If your a bowler who turns 21 anytime prior to Aug 1, 2020, you are to old, and aged out this year.

Keep in mind once you win your Jr Gold Spot your entry fee will be lower.

It always seems to be more expensive for the first few tournaments since you

are paying for memberships and to Bowl for Gold.
