Tommy Jones captured his 10thcareer title and second Major.

UNCASVILLE, Conn—When two titles are considereda down year, it can only meanthe bar has been raised to an un-believably high level.

Tommy Jones has raised thebar higher than any bowler inDenny’s PBA Tour history, cap-turing his 10th career title andsecond Major Sunday with a257-222 win over Tony Reyesto win the 2007 PBA Tourna-ment of Champions at MoheganSun Arena.

Jones won his 10 titles intwo years, six months and sevendays, breaking the PBA recordfor shortest time between firstand 10 titles by four days. PBAlegend Dick Weber held therecord for 45 years until Jonessalvaged what was considered adown year for the 28-year-old.

Jones won his first careertitle in the 2004 Japan Cup andwent on to win four titles in both2004-05 and 2005-06, includinghis first Major in last season’s63rd U.S. Open. He had won justone title this season coming intothis week, but he dominated bothhis opponents on Sunday.

“It feels great. I haven’t beenbowling very well this season,but I worked with Del Ballardrecently and I have to thank himfor getting me back here,” saidJones, the 2005-06 PBA Playerof the Year, of the 12-time titlist.“Next year I’m going to be backand ready to go again. I’m readyto win another Player of theYear.”

Though he hasn’t beenamong the many bowlers in acrowded PBA Player of the Yearrace, Jones did take another steptoward history, capturing hissecond of the PBA’s TripleCrown events. He only needs aWorld Championship title tobecome the fifth bowler in his-tory to win the Triple Crown.

The title match was never in

RaisingThe Bar

doubt as Jones started with sixconsecutive strikes while Reyes,making his Tournament of Cham-pions debut, struggled with justone strike in the first four framesincluding an open in the 4thframe.

Jones advanced to the titlematch with a 279-238 win overthe defending champion ChrisBarnes. On the 40th anniversaryof the Tour’s first-ever televised300 game in the 1967 Tourna-ment of Champions, Joneslooked like he might repeat thefeat, starting with the first sevenstrikes. A 10-pin in the 8th framefoiled the effort, but he recov-ered with four consecutivestrikes to close out the match.

Reyes advanced to the titlematch with a 215-206 win overNorm Duke.

Jones (Simpsonville, S.C.)earned $60,000 for the win.Reyes (San Bruno, Calif.) tookhome $20,000 for second, whileBarnes (Double Oak, Texas) andDuke (Clermont, Fla.) earned$10,000 each for third andfourth, respectively.

The Tournament of Champi-ons wraps up the 2006-07Denny’s PBA Tour season. Nextweek, six bowlers will competein a special winner-take-all event,the 2007 Motel 6 Roll to Richesat Sequoia Pro Bowl in Colum-bus, Ohio. The Major winnersfrom this season (Doug Kent,Jones and Pete Weber), PBAWorld Point Rankings leader(Wes Malott) and two bowlersfrom an on-line fan vote (Duke,Walter Ray Williams Jr.) willcompete for the $150,000 topprize.

USBC NASHVILLE

BRANDI CHASTAIN SHARESHER KEYS TO EXCELLENCE

Olympic soccer gold medalist kicks off2007 USBC Convention in Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Control what you can control and theother stuff let fall by the wayside. It’s a message that Brandi Chastainlearned early in her athletic career and one the two-time Olympicsoccer gold medalist brought Wednesday as the keynote speaker ofthe second annual United States Bowling Congress Convention atthe Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.

One of the most famous women athletes in the country, Chastainimmediately felt right at home with the bowlers for whom she signedautographs in the morning, spoke to during the Convention’s firstbusiness session in the afternoon, and later in a seminar on youth.

“This is like a family reunion for me because bowling alwayswas a big family thing for us,” she said. “I was in a bowling centerwhile in daycare and later graduated to leagues.”

Being in a youth league helped teach Chastain the value of beingon a team which proved quite important when she eventually con-centrated more on soccer.

“Contribute your best qualities, your knowledge and your expe-rience to help the team get better,” was something she said shelearned.

Chastain’s speech highlighted the first of four days of businessslated for the 2007 USBC Convention. Attendees also took advan-tage of the first of more than 30 educational workshops targeted tofour key USBC initiatives — credibility of the game, the deliverynetwork, growing the sport and youth development. They alsovisited the exhibit area where USBC programs, industry organiza-tions and other companies were on display. And, they attendedcoaching clinics at nearby Hermitage Lanes when not enjoyingChastain reminisce about her soccer career and its parallels to bowl-ing.

“Soccer and bowling are similar in that you need that short mo-ment of concentration,” Chastain said. “Good players do it sometimes. Great players do it all the time.”

Chastain, who has continued to bowl through the years includ-ing events such as the ESPN’s Bowling Night Series in 2005, closedher speech with six components of going from good to great —competition, challenge, creativity, concentration, community andcelebration. After she concluded her speech, she received a specialsoccer-style bowling ball as a memento of her presentation.

USBC President Michael Carroll and Vice President SylviaBroyles then went through the crowd, asking several attendees theirreasons for attending. They then led several greeting exercises de-signed for people to meet those sitting around them with the goal ofbeing able to later use these people as resources.

Next was the Bowlers to Veterans Link presentation which high-lighted the many ways bowlers have helped current and past mili-tary people. Among those honored were USBC associations andpeople in the following categories:*Largest Contribution by a State — California, $209,317.14 *Larg-est Contribution by a Local Association — San Fernando ValleyWBA/Los Angeles BA, $39,002.*Largest State Contribution to BVL National — Virginia, $46,708.25.*Largest Local Association Contribution to BVL National — Nation’sCapital Area USBC, $13,000.*Most Successful Volunteer, “Bowlers Salute America” Troops —Jo Wisby.

The day concluded with awards presentations honoring the fol-lowing people:*Helen Baker Outstanding Association Volunteer of the Year Award— Sheri Cook, Farmington, N.M.*Joyce Deitch Trailblazer Award — Dan Ottman, Detroit (posthu-mously) *Kerm Helmer Horizon Award — Jeffrey Frye,Hackettstown, N.J.*David Dahms Coach of the Year — Teresa Wolcott, Sauquoit, N.Y.*Youth Program Volunteer of the Year — David Koppa, Santa Bar-bara, Calif.

USBC RAISES MORE THAN $1 MILLIONTO HELP CURE BREAST CANCER

Meet for the Cure ceremony ends busy final day at USBC Annual Meeting

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - For the first time, bowling has contrib-uted more than $1 million in a year to help the fight to cure breastcancer.

That announcement was made Saturday at the 2007 United StatesBowling Congress Annual Meeting when a check for $1,003,000was presented by USBC to the Susan G. Komen For The Cureduring the seventh-annual Meet for the Cure ceremony at the GaylordOpryland Resort and Convention Center.

Breast cancer survivors Bonnie Ruffin, Shalimar, Fla., and PaulineArmstrong, San Diego, presented the check to Susan G. Komen Forthe Cure Cause Marketing Manager Lori Rayfield and Vice Presi-dent of Resource Development Cindy Schneible. It brought thetotal from USBC and the former Women’s International BowlingCongress to more than $6 million.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Growing bowling as a sport is the futurefocus of the United States Bowling Congress as nearly 1,700 at-tendees at the 2007 USBC Annual Meeting at the Gaylord OprylandResort and Convention Center learned in many ways Friday.

Through speeches from organization leaders to the announce-ments of new television events to a new partnership with a majorsports player, everyone in Delta Ballroom A and those watchinglive on bowl.com, should have come away with the fact that USBCis headed in a new direction.

“We are talking about dramatically changing our focus from amember benefit organization to a sports organization,” said USBCChief Executive Officer Roger Dalkin. “We need to redirect yourpassion to the sport more than to the membership organization.”

The message actually started to be communicated earlier in theday, first by Darlene Baker, chair of the USBC Strategic PlanningCommittee, and later by USBC President Michael Carroll.

Baker noted that the new vision will be achieved when morepeople are recognizing bowling as a sport and more people areparticipating in bowling as a sport. Within those priority issues arethree goals:

*Increase USBC youth membership in certified leagues and pro-grams

*Increase the number of USBC members participating in bowl-ing as a sport

*Increase the number of people who recognize/perceive bowlingas a sport

“This change is one of the first actions we can take to be thatdifferent organization, the organization of the sport of bowling andto be the sport that deserves the recognition and respect of thepublic, as other sports,” Baker said.

Among the ways USBC will help increase the number of peoplewho recognize/perceive bowling as a sport is through televisionwith the announcement of USBC reviving the U.S. Women’s Openand sponsoring the new Professional Bowlers Association SummerSeries and Women’s Tour Trials which will create a 16-bowler ex-empt field for a 2007-08 PBA Women’s Tour. All events will betelevised in the fall on ESPN.

In addition, USBC Chief Officer Marketing and Communica-tions Tom Clark announced that basketball star Chris Paul, an avidbowler, will be USBC’s newest spokesperson. He will be involvedin a number of projects to help broaden the visibility and participa-tion of the sport of bowling.

“Today, bowling is in a period of transformation or evolution,”Carroll said. “The true measurement of turning the corner will notbe as much in our membership numbers as it will be in the recogni-tion of bowling at the national level; of truly seeing bowling as asport again in the eyes of the general public.”

Carroll said one way for associations to help grow the sport is toapprove the amendment which calls for all to be merged by March15, 2009.

“The only way we truly can grow the sport is through a unifiedUSBC at all levels,” he said. “And such unity needs to happen assoon as possible, not in three to five years or in 10 years of never ifany association continues to choose the option of not merging. Itcan’t be whenever people feel like it, if at all. This has to be donetogether in cooperation with each other.

“My experience going around the country has taught me it ismuch harder promoting bowling as a sport when we still have somany different entities, some serving all adults, others service justwomen and still others serving only youth. Often, these are in thesame community. Such separation only confuses current and poten-tial bowlers, current and potential sponsors, current and future media.Only being unified at all levels truly allows us to move forward inthe direction we need to head to grow the sport of bowling.”

Even USBC Hall of Famer Nelson Burton Jr., in closing the Hallof Fame ceremony before Carroll’s speech, said: “Our job is topreserve the game, not the pinball games or the bar or the arcade butthe game, the ball and the pins.”

USBC Hall of Fame welcomes Vadakin, Marchione The morning’sother major highlight was the USBC Hall of Fame ceremony hostedby Burton. New inductees Gordon Vadakin and Connie Marchionewere joined by 20 past hall of famers to bring the total inductees to213 men and 147 women.

Vadakin, inducted in the non-professional category, was a two-time member of Team USA (1983 and 1989), a two-time USBCOpen Championships titlist and Federation Internationale desQuilleurs American Zone Championship gold medalist.

“I have done nothing. WE have done some pretty cool things,”said Vadakin in acknowledging teammates like fellow USBC Hall ofFamers Mark Jensen and Mark Lewis who helped him to his suc-cess. “Individual success doesn’t mean anything. Team success iseverything.”

The 53-year-old Vadakin, who also is a heralded bowling coachfor Wichita State University and assistant coach for Team USA,was a member of the 1989 American Bowling Congress Champion-ships Tournament (now USBC Open Championships) team cham-pion and 1988 team all-events champion. He also earned six othertop-10 finishes and has held a 206 average for 30 years.

“I had so many great athletes over the years. It’s like (USBCHall of Famer and former Team USA head coach) Fred Borden oncesaid ‘ “When you work with great athletes, you become a hell of acoach.’ “

Inducted for meritorious service, Marchione served in leader-ship positions in the National Deaf Bowling Association and Pacific

Coast Deaf Bowling Association. In 1961 he created the PacificCoast Deaf Masters and in 1988 established the Pacific Coast DeafSenior Masters.

“This is really great. It’s such an honor to be the first deaf personto be inducted here into the USBC Hall of Fame,” said Marchionethrough a sign language interpreter. He asked to share the awardwith previous deaf bowling pioneers such as Thomas Hinchey,Herman Gann and Peter Samolis.

In 1964, Marchione became president of the National Deaf Bowl-ing Association, serving 13 years in that capacity. During his tenureas president, a handicap four-player team, doubles and singles tour-nament and National Deaf Masters were added to the organization’sexisting World Deaf Bowling Championships match play event. “Inever dreamed I’d receive this honor in my lifetime because of theway the rules were I thought it was impossible,” Marchione said. “Iwas stunned and shocked with President Carroll contacted me.”

Stars of Tomorrow among award presentationsThe afternoon featured the honoring of two youth who epito-

mize the sports future Joi Bell of Pflugerville, Texas, as the AlbertaE. Crowe Star of Tomorrow and Jonathan Buckert of Rochester,N.Y., as Chuck Hall Star of Tomorrow.

Bell, 18, is a senior at Hyde Park High School in Austin, Texas,where she carries a 3.7 grade point average, serves on the studentcouncil and is a member of the art, drama and Ready Writers clubs,Spanish Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of Business.She also is active in the Greater Austin Area USBC Youth Leaders.

“Wow! I feel as if I’ve just won an Oscar,” Bell said. “I’m glad Iwrote a speech because I don’t know what to say.”

A two-time national competitor at both the USBC Junior GoldChampionships and the Teen masters, Bell averaged 192 over 84games in the USBC-certified Saturday Kingpin Classic League atHighland Lanes in Austin and 167 over 104 games in the YouthSport Smash League, a USBC-certified Sport Bowling league atDart Bowl in Austin.

“Bowling has made me mentally and physically stronger andimproved my confidence not only in bowling but in life,” Bell said.

Buckert, 17, is a senior at Greece Athena High School in Roches-ter where he carries a 3.9 point grade point average. He also is amember of the math team, biology club and varsity bowling teamand is president of the Rochester USBC Youth Leaders.

“I’m very honored to represent the Rochester area in winningthis award,” Buckert said. “There have been many great youthbowlers from the area including Marc D’Errico who won this awardfour years ago.”

A four-time participant in the USBC Junior Gold Champion-ships, Buckert averaged 225 over 78 games in the USBC-certifiedMixed Scratch Travel League and set a state high school bowlingrecord with his 248.77 average over 30 games of interscholasticcompetition last year.

“I want to thank the Chuck Hall Star of Tomorrow committeefor this honor and giving me the chance to bowl collegiately,” saidBuckert, winner of last Sunday’s inaugural Denny’s All-AmericanHigh School Bowling Championships who announced he will at-tend Wichita State University in the fall.

UNITED STATES BOWLING CONGRESSREVIVES U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN

Unique format includes taped preliminaryand live ESPN-televised events

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kelly Kulick was the winner of bowling’slast U.S.

Women’s Open in 2003. Now she will have the opportunity todefend her title.

One of the most prestigious events in bowling will return after afour-year absence under the banner of the United States BowlingCongress. The announcement was made today at USBC’s Conven-tion in Nashville, Tenn.

The U.S. Women’s Open will feature a unique qualifying andbracket elimination format and a television deal with ESPN thatcombines taped preliminary elimination rounds and a live champi-onship final.

Scheduled to be conducted Aug. 13-18 at the National BowlingStadium in Reno, Nev., a U.S. Women’s Open qualifying event willdetermine 16 finalists who will compete in four separate four-player,tape-delayed televised bracket elimination rounds.

The winner of each elimination round will earn a spot in the livefinal bracket elimination event which will determine the tournamentchampion.

“This is a tremendous and overdue opportunity to both provideelite women bowlers with another major championship to competein and to support USBC’s vision of growing the sport throughgreater visibility,”

USBC Chief Executive Officer Roger Dalkin said. “Our commit-ment to creating and sponsoring televised bowling events will bekey to achieving our vision.”

The four tape-delayed events and the live final will be aired inthe weeks leading up to the start of the 2007-08 Denny’s Profes-sional Bowlers Association Tour. The four preliminary taped bracketevents will be telecast Sept. 16, 23, 30 and Oct. 7 and the live showwill be telecast Oct. 14.

As part of its growing partnership with the PBA, players enter-ing the U.S. Women’s Open will have the option of paying an addi-tional entry fee to have their qualifying scores count toward thePBA Women’s Tour Trials.

The scores will determine the 16 exempt players for the newUSBC-sponsored four-week PBA Women’s Tour, which will beheld in conjunction with the regular Denny’s PBA Tour this fall. Inaddition, both the U.S. Women’s Open and the PBA Women’s Tourwill be conducted on PBA Experience lane conditions.

Most recently, the U.S. Open Women’s Championships — whichoriginally began as the Women’s All-Star tournament in 1949 — wassponsored by the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America andwas a major event conducted on the Professional Women’s BowlingAssociation Tour until the organization ceased operations in 2003.

“I am thrilled by the news of a U.S. Women’s Open,” said starbowler and USBC High School spokesperson Carolyn Dorin-Ballard.“I think it has been way too long of a wait to have a women’stournament besides the Queens.

Hopefully, this will be a step in the right direction in gettingwomen’s bowling back on the map and give the high school andcollegiate girls something to strive for.”

LEARNING BECOMES HABIT-FORMINGAT USBC CONVENTION

Wide variety of workshops gives attendees plenty of useful information

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Quenching their thirst for knowledge tobe used back home was the order of the day Thursday for attendeesof the second annual United States Bowling Congress Conventionat the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.

Many of the USBC state and local association officials andmembers at the four-day event visited the 20 educational sessionstargeted to four key USBC initiatives credibility of the game, thedelivery network, growing the sport and youth development. Oth-ers took part in the lane inspection workshop at nearby HermitageLanes. All were able to collected information that will help them dotheir jobs better.

I get a lot of good information, especially the last one on Asso-ciation Manager 101, said Melissa Pingry, association manager forthe Greater Pasadena (Texas) USBC. There were four of us hereand we all split up to try to cover as many seminars as we can. I’mnot even a delegate so the only reason I came was to attend theworkshops.

I learned some things on WinLABS that I didn’ t know how todo. That will make my job easier.

Thursday’s sessions completed a two-day, 30-workshop agenda,each of which was well attended if not completely sold out.

I liked all of them because I like bowling so much I can’t wait toback here, said Frank Weiler of the Citrus Belt (Calif.) USBC. Iliked the media one the best. I liked the how-to information. Theyspelled out the things we need to do such as strike up a relationshipwith the local sports editor so he gets to know you. I had alwaysjust submitted articles and hoped they’d get in. I never thought tothem advanced notice.

With the educational sessions now complete, the Conventionmoves full speed into its business phase with the Annual Meetingon Friday. The day begins with the Memorial Service honoringthose USBC members who have died in the past year. That will befollowed by the first of several speeches on USBC’s future direc-tion, some of which will include several major announcements di-rectly relating to this focus.

SED Jr. Travelby David Gordon

FOUNTAIN VALLEY—Welcome to the last – boring –statistical – never changing ar-ticle for the SED Jr. Travel sea-son 2006-07. This week’s up-date is going to focus on just theoutstanding scores posted thispast Saturday at Fountain Bowl.Even though it was our last ses-sion, we have not yet had ourawards party and some thingswe want to be left as a surprise.

For a couple of weeks, I’veproclaimed the league champi-ons while trying to keep hopealive for all others. I’ve been say-ing - anything can happen – po-sitions two through five canchange and season highs can fall.Well the bowlers finally tookheart to this and put up a greateffort, resulting in some verygood scores.

Mark Curtis led all into the800 club with his excellent per-formance of 202-247-247/881.Now that’s the way to shootMark. Tag-a-longs in to this clubis Eddie Sayles 204-224-242/853, J.D. Pelow 247-209-203/832, and Bryan Osborne 201-208-218-205/832 (in pre-bowl).Very good gentlemen. More highscoring came in from MaxSlevcove 223-222/790, EricMilne 216/765, Kevin Jones265/759, Andy Betancourt 210-211/740, Michael Gaylor 223/724, Kim Ferdnance 221/710,and Michael McDonald 203.

Our Awards Pizza Party willbe this coming Saturday in PicoRivera. Here these juniors (andparents) will feed their face(s)and reap the awards of a longand challenging season. You alldeserve to relax and have fun.Remember we start the festivi-ties at 1:00 pm.

Lastly, I want to give recog-nition and praise to those mem-bers that bowled in the NLACCity Tournament. You all didvery well and made me so proud,not only your performance onthe lanes, but how you con-ducted yourselves. The awardlisting is out and here is howmembers of this group did. Inthe Team Event – Classic(scratch) Div. our put togetherteam of Osborne, Pelow, Saylesand James Hawkins, was namedWatch Out!. These four used thatto take 1st place with a whop-ping 2540, averaging 211 perbowler. Way to go guys.

In the Doubles Event Div 2(handicap) Darren Pascual andFelicia Mara captured 2nd place,while Marty McDonald andKevin Jones took 5th. For SinglesEvent – Div 2 McDonald andMara went places 5th and 6th re-spectively, while in the ScratchDiv. Michael Gaylor took 4th –Eric Milne was 2nd – andHawkins was first with a 3-gameseries of 711.

Lastly, in All-Events wasMara taking 1st place Girls Div2 and Hawkins capturing theScratch division title for theboys. Congratulations to all ofyou.

Next week, I’ll recap thisawards party and let all the faith-ful readers know who tookwhat. Have a great week andhope to see you on Saturday.

Girls Jr. All-Starsby David Gordon

LOS ANGELES—The GirlsJr. All-Stars traveled to AMFMidtown Lanes this past Sun-day for their last bowling ses-sion of the season. We want tothank the staff at AMF Mid-town for their hospitality andall of the centers for having usthroughout the year.

Going out with a bang wasour leader for the day, as Lind-say Hannasch stroked up 204-200-255-209/868. Now that’sthe way to end a season. JoiningLindsay in the unique 800 clubwas Melissa Pena with a 221-241/802 showing herself. Noth-ing to sneeze about here. Welldone ladies. Other reportablescame in from Jasmine Morales710 and Tabetha Reynolds 703.

On a side note, the awardwinners for NLAC City Tour-nament were revealed this week-end and the ladies made a verygood showing. It makes me veryproud when I hear from com-peting centers and programs ofhow our members look, behaveand perform. Thank you andnow for big props to these la-dies that capture awards.Doubles Event – Scratch Divi-sion (against guys as well), wehave Hannasch and DeannaCarrillo taking 3rd place. Noth-ing in the Singles Division (theywork better as a group), but anacknowledgement for TeamEvent with our put-togetherteam of Pena, Carrillo, Reynoldsand sub Alyse McGinnes.

Now even though only 1st

place was awarded in the ScratchTeam Event (going to my SEDJr. Travel team), these ladies de-serve big ups for their perfor-mance. I put the ladies up to achallenge to take out that otherteam for the third and final game.And they did just that, earning afree dinner for (let me put it inperspective) beating, thrashing,whipping, pounding, etc., the 1st

place team. And in that singlegame almost caught them to takethe event. So even though noawards, Congratulations for tak-ing 2nd place a mere 15 pins be-hind the leader with a 2525 teamseries.

And lastly in the Girls AllEvents – Scratch Division wewent 1 and 2, now they give out2 places. Reynolds took 2nd

place with an 1807 9-game mix,while Carrillo averaged 214 for a1928 series to capture this title.Again congratulations to all ofyou ladies.
