General Information

Welcome to the 2025 Battle of the Businesses – The 44th edition. Last year’s Battle of the Businesses raised and donated over $78,650 to Special Olympics of Greater Dayton. With your help we would like to surpass that total this year.

The 2025 Battle will be held from May 31st through June 7th.

All the information you will need is in this manual, except for the Heat & Lane Assignments, which will be distributed along with your team shirts at the Coach’s Meeting at Beaver-Bowl on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. All coaches will need to turn in their four bowlers’ names at this meeting.

Please read all the rules carefully, even if you think you already know them.

Please note the following 2023 changes:

• Solvita will be hosting the Cornhole Ladder event on Sunday June 1 and Team Ski & Tug events on Tuesday June 3 but at their new location at 954 Forrer Blvd. (See Event Details for Maps & Directions).
• We have added a “Bonus Throw” to the Punt, Pass & Place Kick event.  See event rules for details.Currently, we have not scheduled any practices. Setters is open every day and has open courts for Sand Volleyball practice prior to the event.

Please remember that the main reason we are all involved in the Battle of the Businesses is to help raise money for Special Olympics of Greater Dayton. The Battle Bucks you raise directly support the Special Olympic athletes in the Greater Dayton area. We want all Battle participants to have fun and enjoy the event, but we cannot lose our primary focus as a fund-raiser.

Everyone in your company is eligible to participate in Battle Bucks, even if they are not on the team roster. We need to do as much as we can to support Special Olympics.
