Qualifying Round:

Each bowler will bowl their own games, and the total pinfall for each team will determine the top four doubles teams that advance to the baker format match play finals. In the event of a tie, a baker-style 9th and 10th frame roll-off will be conducted to determine the advancing team.
Match Play Finals:
The top four doubles teams from the qualifying round will compete in the match play finals using the baker format. In this format, bowlers alternate frames, creating an exciting and dynamic atmosphere. The 1st seed will face the 4th seed, and the 2nd seed will compete against the 3rd seed. The winning teams will advance to the finals, where they will compete for the championship title. In case of a tie during any match, a baker-style 9th and 10th frame roll-off will determine the winner.
