The BBIS league will run their first 10 game marathon invitational (entries must be approved by the league’s officers) tournament at Westgate Lanes on New Year’s Day starting at 11 AM. The tournament will be handicapped at 80% of 220, with BBIS league members using their current average in that league and others their highest USBC average in the last three years. Entry fee will be $80 in advance and $100 the day of the tournament, with lineage and expenses $35 and 50% of the prize fund going to the winner. There will be a 15 minute break after the fifth game, with Westgate Lanes offering a 20% discount to tournament bowlers at the snack bar and in the pub. The lane condition is expected to be a modified house shot (think the Kegel Navigation “Recreational” series). Bowlers may see John Hayes Jr. on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday nights for more information.
People’s Tournament note: Westgate Lanes will have the lane condition for next weekend’s People’s Tournament out for practice this weekend, and bowlers wanting to practice on the tournament condition are strongly urged to come down this weekend, because no practice will be allowed on the tournament lanes the weekend of the tournament.
