Queen Of Hearts Game
The "Queen Of Hearts" (QOH) will be a featured side event at all of The Jamz Tournaments.
The QOH consists of a game board containing 52 standard playing cards + 2 Jokers, all randomly assigned to the board, by the manufacturer or myself, placed upside down, and sealed under a tape coating. No one knows what cards are where, not even myself. To start the board, I will usually assign a prize value to 3 cards: the Queen of Hearts, Joker #1, and Joker #2.
The rules have slight variations per event, but for the "One Night Only Jamz Tournament" scheduled for Saturday night, December 6, 2025, here are the basic rules. Please note, these are partial rules. Complete rules will be available at the Tournament.
On a new game board of 54 cards, there is a carryover from the previous Jamz Tournament as follows:
$500.00 (when a bowler bowled for $500.00 per pin and got a 9 count, leaving a carryover of $500.00)
$500.00 (when a bowler bowled for $500.00 per pin and got a 9 count, leaving a carryover of $500.00)
$720.00 (when a bowler bowled for $360.00 per pin and got an 8 count, leaving a carryover of $720.00)
All totaled, that is a generated carryover of $1,720.00.
In addition, the Jamz Tournament is adding in $280.00, bringing the starting pool up to $2,000.00.
Furthermore, for this special event, $10.00 of every bowler's entry fee funds the game as well. Assuming all teams signed up do indeed bowl, that is 200 bowlers x $10.00 = $2,000.00. Therefore, the starting pool is the highest of all time, at $4,000.00!
With this projected starting pool of $4,000.00, the opening values on the board are as follows:
Queen Of Hearts: $2,000.00 / $200.00 per pin knocked down
Joker #1: $1,000.00 / $100.00 per pin knocked down
Joker #2: $1,000.00 / $100.00 per pin knocked down
Every bowler receives (1) free Bonus Ticket for this event, and that ticket is also good for the other Bonus Event, which is the "Jamz Moonlight Shootout" which is detailed on Facebook and in e-mails to Team Captains.
You may also buy additional Bonus Tickets at a cost of $10.00 each, and 85% of those sales increases the prize pools for BOTH Bonus Events, while 15% goes to the Tournament Take. It is estimated the prizes will DOUBLE once ticket sales are added in!
At approximately 6:20pm, Bonus Ticket drawings will occur. If your ticket is drawn, you will select a card off the board. If you find a prize card, you will bowl for the prize on a per pin knocked down amount that could return the full value. HOWEVER, A STRIKE IS NOT NEEDED TO WIN BIG! For example, if you find the Queen of Hearts, and the prize is worth $3,000.00, then you get to bowl for $300.00 per pin knocked in the 6th frame of Game #1!
Once again, these are partial rules. Complete rules will be available on site during the tournament and e-mailed to all Team Captains, upon which they can forward that e-mail to their bowlers.
