A few comments on recent touranments:
High School Showcase at White Oak Lanes: A great tournament involving high school age students who are also members of various youth programs at the local bowling centers. Nine schools participated, with four-member teams that included boy and girl divisions. The tournament held last Saturday had fantastic support with an estimated 300 to 400 people in attendance. Next year I would like to invite state and national officials to show them how high school bowling should be run.
Scotch Doubles at The Bowler: A well-attended tournament where walk-ins were permitted. My only concern was that there should be a cap on the amount of handicap permitted. There is no way that the top four or five winners should have handicapped scores totaling above 800. The bowler’s current average should be used with certification by their league secretary.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
