(VELVA, N.D. AP) - The former owner of an Oregon bowling alley has announced an unusual tournament at his new business in North Dakota.

The winner wins the bowling alley, its restaurant and the land it all stands on.

Darin Bail, who used to operate an alley in the Willamette Valley town of Dallas, bought the alley in Velva, North Dakota, two years ago but family matters keep him in Oregon much of the time.

Hopefuls pay an entry fee of 250 dollars. The prize goes to the bowler who comes closest to his own average, giving good bowlers and poor an equal chance.

Bail said he needs at least 600 entrants to make his plan work. If not enough people sign up, he will refund all entry fees, minus a processing fee.

Bail says he has received calls from bowlers in several states.
