Rob Cardinale Hit 300 At Rab’s Country Lanes LAS VEGAS – Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, and Missy Parkin of Lake Forest, Calif., successfully concluded two years of international travel when they captured Bayer Advanced Aspirin World Bowling Tour men’s and women’s finals titles to kick off the 2012-13 Professional Bowlers Association television season at South Point Hotel and Casino. Barnes, a 14-time PBA Tour champion, defeated reigning WBT men’s champion Mika Koivuniemi of Finland, 244-228, while Parkin defeated Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., 238- 190, in the women’s finals during the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling. Both finals, which featured three players who qualified by earning points in World Tenpin Bowling Association-PBA International Tour events over a span of two years, aired Sunday on ESPN. Both champions earned $20,000. Barnes, who won the Columbia 300 Vienna Open in Austria in October to lock up his berth in the WBT men’s finals, edged Mike Fagan of Dallas, 258-244, in the semifinal match before closing with a string of six strikes for a come-from-behind vic- tory over his close friend, Koivuniemi, in the title match. “Any win feels good,” Barnes said. “Mika and I always have good matches. I’ve been fortunate the last three times, but I’m pretty sure it’ll even out whether I like it or not.” The key to Barnes’ victory was three 10 pins left by his long- time international rival on the right lane in the third, seventh and ninth frames. “I left a couple of solid 10s on that lane myself,” Barnes said. “I knew that lane was tighter. I threw one shot that I thought was pretty good that didn’t even get back to the pocket.” Forced to finish his game on the tricky right lane after Koivuniemi’s misfortune in the ninth frame gave him an open- ing, Barnes made a critical adjustment and threw three strikes in the 10th frame. The first strike was the one that iced the title. “I knew I was going to move right and have to stay firm with the shot,” Barnes said. “Earlier on in my career I didn’t commit to that shot very well, but I committed to it, and made the shot I wanted to throw. It didn’t quite get up to high flush, but it was good enough today.” As part of their ongoing rivalry on television, Barnes and Koivuniemi make a side bet that has involved things like the gaudy Madras plaid pair of pants Koivuniemi was forced to wear on television the last time he lost. “We had a jersey bet on this one,” Barnes said of his WBT win. “I, or my fans, or his daughters will get to design a jersey that he’ll get to wear on a future TV show.And pretty much any- thing goes as long as it’s legal for TV.” In the women’s finals, Johnson advanced to the title match after a thrilling 267-260 victory over PBA Tour titlist Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J. But Johnson’s strike shot evaporated in the title match. A 4-6-7 split in the second frame and a 4-6 in the fourth put her in a hole she couldn’t escape. “I’ve come in second a lot lately,” said Parkin, who lost to Chicago’s Diandra Asbaty in the Australian Masters title match prior to the WSOB and finished second to Kulick in the U.S. Women’s Open earlier in the year. “Today I wasn’t going to let that happen again. I kind of went out with a mindset that I was going to make the pins strike. I know you can’t do that, but it was the mindset I had. “I only had one game, and I needed to throw 10 really good shots, and I feel like I did. Luckily the pins fell my way and it was enough to win.” But for Parkin, the victory made her international travels worth the effort. “This year all of the travel has been particularly hard being away from family and friends,” she said. “It’s really hard; a lot of people don’t understand how much we travel. Winning this tour- nament after two years and having to accumulate all those points means so much.” The second annual BayerAdvancedAspirin WBT Finals pre- sented by the PBA also signaled the start of a new points cycle for the international series. Points earned in WTBA-PBA International Tour events over the next 12 months will replace points earned in the first year of the qualifying cycle, leading into the third WBT Finals which will be part of PBA WSOB V in November 2013.

At Rab’s Country Lanes

LAS VEGAS – Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, and

Missy Parkin of Lake Forest, Calif., successfully concluded

two years of international travel when they captured Bayer

Advanced Aspirin World Bowling Tour men’s and women’s

finals titles to kick off the 2012-13 Professional Bowlers

Association television season at South Point Hotel and Casino.

Barnes, a 14-time PBA Tour champion, defeated reigning

WBT men’s champion Mika Koivuniemi of Finland, 244-228,

while Parkin defeated Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., 238-

190, in the women’s finals during the GEICO PBA World

Series of Bowling. Both finals, which featured three players

who qualified by earning points in World Tenpin Bowling

Association-PBA International Tour events over a span of two

years, aired Sunday on ESPN. Both champions earned

$20,000.

Barnes, who won the Columbia 300 Vienna Open in Austria

in October to lock up his berth in the WBT men’s finals, edged

Mike Fagan of Dallas, 258-244, in the semifinal match before

closing with a string of six strikes for a come-from-behind vic-

tory over his close friend, Koivuniemi, in the title match.

“Any win feels good,” Barnes said. “Mika and I always have

good matches. I’ve been fortunate the last three times, but I’m

pretty sure it’ll even out whether I like it or not.”

The key to Barnes’ victory was three 10 pins left by his long-

time international rival on the right lane in the third, seventh and

ninth frames.

“I left a couple of solid 10s on that lane myself,” Barnes said.

“I knew that lane was tighter. I threw one shot that I thought was

pretty good that didn’t even get back to the pocket.”

Forced to finish his game on the tricky right lane after

Koivuniemi’s misfortune in the ninth frame gave him an open-

ing, Barnes made a critical adjustment and threw three strikes in

the 10th frame. The first strike was the one that iced the title.

“I knew I was going to move right and have to stay firm with

the shot,” Barnes said. “Earlier on in my career I didn’t commit

to that shot very well, but I committed to it, and made the shot I

wanted to throw. It didn’t quite get up to high flush, but it was

good enough today.”

As part of their ongoing rivalry on television, Barnes and

Koivuniemi make a side bet that has involved things like the

gaudy Madras plaid pair of pants Koivuniemi was forced to

wear on television the last time he lost.

“We had a jersey bet on this one,” Barnes said of his WBT

win. “I, or my fans, or his daughters will get to design a jersey

that he’ll get to wear on a future TV show. And pretty much any-

thing goes as long as it’s legal for TV.”

In the women’s finals, Johnson advanced to the title match

after a thrilling 267-260 victory over PBA Tour titlist Kelly

Kulick of Union, N.J. But Johnson’s strike shot evaporated in the

title match. A 4-6-7 split in the second frame and a 4-6 in the

fourth put her in a hole she couldn’t escape.

“I’ve come in second a lot lately,” said Parkin, who lost to

Chicago’s Diandra Asbaty in the Australian Masters title match

prior to the WSOB and finished second to Kulick in the U.S.

Women’s Open earlier in the year. “Today I wasn’t going to let

that happen again. I kind of went out with a mindset that I was

going to make the pins strike. I know you can’t do that, but it was

the mindset I had.

“I only had one game, and I needed to throw 10 really good

shots, and I feel like I did. Luckily the pins fell my way and it

was enough to win.”

But for Parkin, the victory made her international travels worth

the effort.

“This year all of the travel has been particularly hard being

away from family and friends,” she said. “It’s really hard; a lot of

people don’t understand how much we travel. Winning this tour-

nament after two years and having to accumulate all those points

means so much.”

The second annual Bayer Advanced Aspirin WBT Finals pre-

sented by the PBA also signaled the start of a new points cycle

for the international series. Points earned in WTBA-PBA

International Tour events over the next 12 months will replace

points earned in the first year of the qualifying cycle, leading into

the third WBT Finals which will be part of PBA WSOB V in

November 2013.

There is no such thing as tour-

nament time---because there are

fine tournaments being conduct-

ed 12 months of the year.

Ever stop to think of how many

bowling tournaments are avail-

able in the world each year? An

educated guess might put the fig-

ure at more than 10,000.

There are big money, small

money and no money tourna-

ments. There are family, school,

church, business, profession, city,

county, state, sectional, national,

zone, continent and world tour-

naments. There are pro tourna-

ments and amateur tournaments

and pro-amateur tournaments.

There are singles, doubles and

team tournaments. There are

events for boys, girls, men,

women and mixed covering every

age. There are sibling tourna-

ments, husband and wife, father

and son, mother and daughter,

and any other relationship tour-

naments.

There are club tournaments

and shop tournaments and office

tournaments and religious tour-

naments. There are tournaments

for people who can't see or can't

walk or can't hear.

And with all that only a small

percentage of the number and

scope of the variety of bowling

tournaments staged annually

have been touched upon.

Yet, many bowlers never have

rolled in a tournament.

Let it be known that there is a

tournament for every bowler,

regardless of the size of your aver-

age---or budget. Look through

any bowling publication, check

the desk or bulletin board at your

bowling centers and read all your

communications and you're sure

to find one or two tournaments

designed just for you.

Tournament bowling is the

extra icing on the bowling cake.

Tournament bowling is fun, and

always profitable. It isn't always

profitable in a financial sense,

though many have won cash,

merchandise, trips, and other

goodies, large and small. But you

always enter into a new and excit-

ing phase of the sport where the

competition is different but the

game is the same.

How can you tell if a tourna-

ment is a good one? Check out

those conducting the tournament,

where it is being run, and read

closely all the rules and fine print

on the entry blank. A tourna-

ment survives only if bowlers are

given a fair shake and tourna-

ments don't last unless they have

needed participation.

In many tournaments, particu-

larly local and state and national

association events, plus most

charity tournaments, many dedi-

cated people work hours that

would stagger the imagination.

In some tournaments you can

win six figures or more. In others

you can't win much more than

satisfaction in being a player, and

or maybe a title and trophy, be it

thimble size or taller than you

are.

You can't gain the full rewards

bowling offers unless you roll in

tournaments even now and then.

So give your local or state tour-

nament a whirl. Don't miss some

of the fine competition your local

center offers. Check out tourna-

ment clubs. There is as wide a

variety in tournaments as there is

in the aims of bowlers but

bowlers can find the right one

with a little effort.

If you've never rolled a tourna-

ment, roll one in the near future.

If you have, roll one more.

There can be problems at times,

like when the nudist convention

ran a bowling tournament.

Nobody looked at the scores.

J o a n Ta y l o r ’s . . . . .

. . . . . . Te n P i n R a pDo you remember the scene from “A Christmas Story” when the fam-

ily was opening their gifts, and the mother plunked a heavy round

wrapped object onto the father’s lap? Obviously it was a bowling ball,

which reminded me of people’s intentions this time of year.

Unless your bowler wants a very specific item or items, it is best to

give a gift certificate to your/his/her favorite pro shop. The owner and

staff know what’s best from weight to fit, especially fit. I have had a cou-

ple of friends from casual daytime leagues in years past who had a less-

than-trained person drill a ball for them and it led to some serious phys-

ical problems.

There are many great pro shops whose people will make sure that your

gift will keep on giving (pleasure). But remember that bowling is still

subjective, and it’s the person rolling the ball, not the ball rolling the per-

son! Perhaps a gift certificate for coaching sessions will be an even bet-

ter gift!

Many thanks to Bobby Blackford for sending in results of the recent

“Pin Gobblers” youth tournament, held at Jersey Lanes in Linden. He

noted that in the (age) 10 and up division, Peter Hancock of Boonton

Lanes bested 42 other bowlers in his division. He bowled 387 pins over

his average for 7 games, earning $381 in scholarship dollars. This tour-

nament will be held again next year on “Black Friday” November 28,

2013. Check out Jerseylanes.com for other youth scholarship tourna-

ments.

The Morris County USBC BA is accepting applications for next year’s

NYS USBC Expands

Scholarship ProgramThe New York State USBC has

expanded its scholarship program

for the 2012-13 season to include

elementary and middle school stu-

dents.

The state bowling association

will award $16,000 in scholarships

-- $12,000 to graduating seniors,

$2,000 to students in grades K-7

and $2,000 to students in grades 8-

11. Previously, NYS USBC grants

were awarded only to 12th graders.

“Children begin their youth bowl-

ing experience at an early age, so we

believe that it is only right to reward

our young bowlers as they

progress,” said Kathy Leitgeb, chair-

person of the NYS USBC Youth

Education Services committee.

As a result, the state association

has created two new categories – a

Future Stars Award for athletes in

grades K-7 and a Youth Spirit

Award for athletes in grades 8-11.

Three students will receive scholar-

ships in each division – one $1,000

winner and two $500 winners.

To be eligible for a Future Stars

Award, youth bowlers must create

and submit a personal video,

answering the question, “Why Do

You Bowl?” To win a Youth Spirit

Award, youth league

coaches/instructors are asked to

nominate a youth bowler, based on

the criteria of sportsmanship, com-

mitment and leadership.

Five graduating seniors will

receive scholarships this season.

The NYS USBC is awarding two

$4,000 scholarships ($1,000 annu-

ally renewable up to four years),

one $2,000 scholarship and two

$1,000 scholarships. The two

$1,000 grants are being sponsored

by the NYS Youth Leaders.

Applications for all of these

scholarships can be filled out

online by clicking on the Youth

Scholarships tab of the NYS USBC

website – www.bowlny.com. The

deadline to apply for these awards

is Feb. 1, 2013.

For further information about the

scholarship program, contact

Leitgeb at 518-464-1176 or at nys-

[email protected].

ARLINGTON, Texas - Team USA's Marshall Kent of

Yakima, Wash., reached the title match while teammate

Danielle McEwan of Stony Point, N.Y., finished fourth as

the 48th QubicaAMF World Cup concluded Saturday in

Wroclaw, Poland.

Kent, who took the men's division lead early, maintained

his advantage during match play to earn the top seed in the

three-person stepladder finals. In the title match, Kent

faced Malaysia's Syafiq Ridhwan Abdul Malek.

Kent started the first game of the best-of-three finals

with five consecutive strikes, but Malek stayed close.

When Kent had an open frame in the 10th, leaving the 4-

6-7 on his first shot, Malek took advantage for a 236-225

victory.

In a back-and-forth Game 2, Kent started with four

strikes but failed to convert a 2-4-8 split in the eighth.

Malek, after opening with two spares, strung together five

strikes and pulled away for a 237-221 victory to capture

the title.

"Unfortunately, the top-seed curse got to me," Kent said.

"I led the tournament but ended up second. It was still a

solid week overall and was still a good week of bowling.

Hopefully, one day I will be able to earn the spot again to

bowl the World Cup and win the Cup for the USA."

Kent started match play going 0-3. He then won his next

five matches to post an 8,339 pinfall total beat Colombia's

Andres Gomez by 78 pins for the top seed in the steplad-

der finals. Malek, meanwhile, had to win his final match

in match play to claim the final spot in the stepladder

finals.

Against Gomez in the semifinals, Malek lost the opening

game by two pins but won the final two games by scores

of 224-201 and 258-213 to set up the title match against

Kent.

In the women's division, McEwan entered match play in

fifth place looking to post wins to earn the 30-pin bonus

available in each match and possibly climb into the

stepladder finals. Despite a solid performance, McEwan

went 3-5 in match play and finished with an 8,158 pinfall

total, 286 pins out of third place.

"I started off really well and had some really good games

but didn't have luck on my side," said McEwan. "I lost my

first match shooting 258 and that kind of continued. I

know I had a couple of matches I shot 230s, 240s and

ended up losing. So those extra bonus pins I needed didn't

add up.

"I think I bowled well today. I have to walk away with

my head held high and use this as a learning experience. It

was a fun week and I learned a lot."

Two-time defending champion Aumi Guerra of the

Dominican Republic took the top seed for the stepladder

finals with an 8,457 pinfall total followed by England's

Kirsten Penny (8,445) and Singapore's Shayna Ng (8,444).

Ng swept Penny, 2-0, in the semifinals. In the title

match, Guerra took a 269-224 victory in Game 1 but Ng

came back in Game 2 to win 267-259 and force a deciding

game. Ng won the title with a 247-169 victory.

Kent and McEwan won their respective divisions at the

USBC Team USA Trials last January to earn the opportu-

nity to compete in the World Cup, one of the most presti-

gious singles titles in the world. The World Cup is the

largest international bowling tournament in the world, in

terms of the number of countries competing. This year's

event started with 81 men and 68 women from more than

80 countries.
