New Orleans – The No. 17 ranked Tulane University bowling team restarts the 2022-23 season with a trip to the Stormin' Blue and White Classic from Sunday – Tuesday at South Point Las Vegas. The action starts at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday and then 11:55 a.m. on Monday. The Tuesday start time is at 10 a.m. The tournament is hosted by Mount St. Mary's (Maryland).

Â
The competitive field includes 12 schools that are ranked or receiving votes in the top 25 including five teams placed in the top 10 programs nationally.
The first day of competition this weekend, Jan. 8, will be five (5) five-game baker matches with total pins being the goal. In the qualifying rounds, teams will alternate lanes after each baker game until the match is complete. Tulane squares off with No. 11 nationally ranked Maryville in lanes 39-40 in the first match, Texas Southern in lanes 37-38 in the second match, No. 9 nationally ranked Louisiana Tech in lanes 53-54 the third match, No. 4 nationally ranked Nebraska in lanes 41-42 the fourth match and Spalding in lanes 51-52 in the fifth match.

The playoff rounds will be seeded using overall total pin fall standings after the qualifying round (day one) is completed. The higher seed has the choice of starting lane for the first baker game with one exception. The exception is if the match goes to a single deciding baker game, the higher seed has the choice.
The first, second and third place teams will be awarded the team awards.
Individual awards will consist of an MVP and the All-Tournament Team which will be based on an average for a minimum of four of the five Traditional Team Games. There will be two All-Tournament teams, ten players total with the tournament MVP also being assigned to the First All-Tournament Team.
