The Dutchman Bolony Bowling Tourney is saddened to announce we have made the difficult decision to not continue the 72nd 2020 Dutchman Bolony Bowling Tournament. The tournament was able to bowl one weekend in March. We are working on the details of prize distribution. More information on final standings later. After exhaustively researching information concerning our current situation, we have regretfully concluded that it simply is not feasible to host an event of the D...Continue reading

Hello Dutchman Bowlers! I hope you are all well and enjoying the start of summer. Myself and the entire staff miss seeing each and everyone of you. Just a quick update of the questions that have been on some folks minds. 1) Bowling is allowed to open in the Green phase in PA. We can't open the centers until we are cleared. Lebanon Co was not granted to go green on June 12th, as we had anticipated. We will know this Friday if Lebanon and Lancaster Co (Clearview) can g...o green on June 19th. Keep your fingers crossed. The tournament is still scheduled to resume on July 10th. 2) Once we are into the green phase, we can only have 50% occupancy in the centers and must maintain 6' social distancing between groups. We are allowed groups up to 25 people. I will be working with Clearview and my staff at Palmyra to develop a plan for bowling, most likely every other pair at Clearview. We are still working to figure out the logistics at Palmyra. 3) Most likely, due to occupancy rules, spectators will not be permitted in the buildings while the tournament is bowling. So please plan ahead for that. If we are given more variance with the numbers of people allowed, we will ease that rule as we can. 4) MASKS will NOT need to be worn WHILE BOWLING. Masks will need to be worn when in common areas, checking in and entering exiting the building. This is for the safety of our staff. We have limited trained staff and we need to protect them so we can stay open. I am in the final phase of our kitchen move and restaurant remodel. We are hoping to open our outside Deck at Palmyra this Friday. I haven't had a lot of time for email. I am also behind with the online schedule. I will get back to the emails, but it might not be until next week. I do have a few checks to run and I will try to get them printed this week. Again, I thank you for your patience. Amy Eiserman

Dutchman Bowlers, Unfortunately, I have to extend our "on hold" status to July 9th. With the metrics set by our Governor, it is unlikely that we will be in the Green phase before the middle to end of June. Bowling centers in PA can't open until the Green Phase. Lebanon County will be going to the yellow phase Fri, May 29th. Lancaster County, is scheduled to go to the state mandated yellow phase on June 6th. Each of those areas can't attain the green phase before 14 days ...after switching colors. Common questions I have received via email: Will we have to wear masks? As long as the Government says you don't have too, we won't enforce it. Although our staff may be wearing them. Do you think we are going to be bowling this year? I do! I believe organized bowling; i.e. leagues and tournaments, will come back first. Mostly because these bowlers LOVE the sport and have their own equipment. Can we get a refund, roll our fees over to 2021 or reschedule? Absolutely! We are flexible. Group leaders need to correspond with me via email and the requests will be processed as soon as possible. Email - [email protected] Have the bowling centers cleaned their facilities and what are they doing to keep us safe? Both centers have or will be going through an extensive cleaning. There will be constant cleaning and sanitizing of the equipment and common areas. There may be limits to the buildings, i.e. competitors only, no spectators. You may have to wait outside the bowling center until the prior squad is out of the building and the building is cleaned. WHILE THESE ARE ALL THEORIES, UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO OPEN AND HAVE THE GUIDANCE AT THAT TIME, WE DO NOT HAVE EXACT REOPENING PLANS. We have added weekends in August and September. Check out our online schedule here. https://www.dutchmantourney.com///2019-dutchman-schedule-2 Email me with any questions, [email protected] Please know that I am a week or two behind on tournament emails, as I am in the middle of a restaurant construction project and other projects. I wish you all Happy Memorial day Weekend . Be safe and stay healthy! Amy Eiserman

Hello Dutchman Bowlers, With Governor Wolfe releasing the reopening PA guidelines, it looks as if the tournament won't be able to start until at least June. At this time, I am going to cancel all May squads. Group leaders that were scheduled prior to June can contact me via email ... [email protected] to reschedule or refund or both. All refund or rescheduling requests must be submitted by the group leader or the person who sent in the applications. I have added Aug...ust and September dates. I will not move dates that are already reserved. Any cancelled squads will need to choose a new available date or request a refund. Currently I am working on reopening our restaurant, The Sinkhole Saloon for take-out. I am also doing league prize funds and sending checks to the bowlers. I am about a week or two behind on tournament emails. We have kept our department managers on payroll, but furloughed all other staff. My to do list grows daily, especially with all the new legislation and government regulations. Please bear with me as I get to the refunds and rescheduling in a week or two. Thanks for your patience. I hope you are well and safe! Amy Eiserman Tournament Manager Palmyra Bowl & Sinkhole Saloon Proprietor Online Schedule - https://www.dutchmantourney.com///2019-dutchman-schedule-2
