USBC WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIPS GETS UNDERWAY IN SYRACUSEBy Lucas Wiseman - USBC Communications

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - With the glitz and glamour of an open-

ing night worthy of Broadway, the curtain was raised on the

2011 United States Bowling Congress Women's

Championships at the Oncenter Convention Center on April 7.

Twinkling scoreboard lights and pulsating music welcomed

the first of nearly 6,000 teams during the official opening cer-

emonies at the newly constructed 48-lane Oncenter venue.

The festivities included the ribbon cutting featuring New

York's Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney, USBC

Executive Director Stu Upson and USBC President Darlene

Baker.

"There is an incredible buzz as people have been excited for

this tournament to start," Mahoney said. "You have created a

lot of excitement in our city and county, and we welcome

you."

Onondaga County legislator Kathy Rapp, dressed in a light

blue bowling shirt, rolled the ceremonial first ball.

Entertainment was provided by The Mandarins, an all-female

acapella group from Syracuse University.

Opening night also featured the presentation of the inaugu-

ral gem series championship trophy to Missy Klug of

Macomb, Mich. Klug, a three-time Team USA member, won

the Scratch Doubles title with Carol Gianotti of Henderson,

Nev., last year in El Paso, Texas. This was Klug's first time

bowling on opening night.

"I was excited to be a part of opening night," Klug said. "It

was awesome to be recognized in front of such a large group

of people, and this is something I will remember for a long

time."

The Women's Championships has three average-based divi-

sions, which will be contested using 100-percent handicap.

The divisions are named Diamond, Ruby and Sapphire.

Nearly 29,000 bowlers, plus family and friends, from 50

states and several foreign countries are expected during this

year's 88-day event. The tournament is expected to provide an

estimated $40 million boost to the local community. This is

the third time in the 92-year history of the Women's

Championships that Syracuse has hosted this event. It previ-

ously was held there in 1940 and 1954.

This year marks the second consecutive time the tournament

is being held in a convention-center setting, similar to the one

used for the USBC Open Championships, which was held in

Syracuse in 1999. The 2010 Women's Championships was

held in El Paso.

Sponsors for the 2011 USBC Women's Championships

sponsors include Turning Stone Resort and Casino, official

brackets sponsor, Humana, official registration sponsor,

Miller Lite and Molson Canadian, official beer sponsors.

Supporting sponsors include Storm Bowling Products,

Nationwide Insurance, The Oncenter, Syracuse Convention

and Visitors Bureau, Caz Limo & Tours, Kegel, official lane

maintenance provider, US Steltronic, official scoring system,

and Brunswick, official lane provider.
