    65 players, who advanced through Friday's qualifying, took on the lanes for the Brunswick Shootout finals. All finalists, who earned a minimum of $250, bowled one-game single elimination matches within their division to determine the divisional winner, who advanced to the final.

    These final five bowlers, which were guaranteed no less than $2,000, determined the Brunswick Shootout champion in a one-game match for total $14,750.
