<span style="text-transform: none;">We have 25 bowler slots. People will be selected randomly after sign ups end on February 11th. If selected, you will be sent, and asked to complete a confirmation form by the end of the day on February 13th. Those who do
not complete the confirmation by then will release their spot to the waiting list. Those on the waitlist will be notified of spots that become available on the evening of the 14th, with sign ups following a first-come-first-served basis (just to ensure we
get all positions filled) in a timely way. </span></p>
