The Percentage Pin Program The 'Percentage Pin Program' is an incentive awards program to encourage pitchers to exceed their average ringer percentage in three tournaments throughout the year. Pins are awarded in 5% increments . For example if a pitchers average at the beginning of the year is 34% then they must pitch 3 tournaments over 35% in order to obtain a 35% pin. It is possible for a pitcher to earn more than one level pin within a year.
