MANAMA, Bahrain – Teenager
Ahmed Al Awadhi of Bahrain sur-
vived a two-game title match,defeating Finland’s Osku
Palermaa, 240-220 after losing a
234-230 decision in game one, to
win the 14th Kingdom of Bahrain
Open at Funland Bowling Center.
Al Awadhi, a 16-year-old mem-
ber of Bahrain’s national bowling
team, was top qualifier for the
Kingdom of Bahrain Open finals,
topping Palermaa by seven pins
and fellow Bahraini Yousef Falah
by 34 pins, thanks to seven-pins-
per-game handicap awarded to
youth bowler and women in the
event. Al Awadhi won the $25,000
first prize, but didn’t get credit for a
PBA International Tour title
because he is an amateur.
As top qualifier for the three-
player stepladder finals, Al
Awadhi’s opponent had to beat him
twice to win the event. After
Palermaa won the first game, Al
Awadhi won the decisive game by
20 pins, not needing his handicap
allowance. Palermaa advanced to
the championship match with a
179-165 decision over Falah.
The Kingdom of Bahrain Open
was the second PBA International-World Bowling Tour event of the
2016 season. PBA International-
WBT competitors now travel to
Munich, Germany, for the
Brunswick Euro Challenge at
Dream Bowl Palace in Munich,
Germany. Josh Blanchard of Mesa,
Ariz., is defending champion.
PBA Tour competition resumes
in the U.S. with the PBA Maine
Event, March 31-April 6, at
Bayside Bowl in Portland, Maine.
A weekend of PBA League EliasCup competition April 2-3 will
result in four consecutive ESPN
telecasts on Sundays at 1 p.m. ET
starting April 17. Blanchard will
then try to defend his Xtra Frame
PBA Maine Shootout April 4-6.
The Maine Shootout will be cov-
ered live, exclusively on PBA’s
video-streaming service, Xtra
Frame.

CHICAGO – Can the Bowlingball.com Silver Lake
Atom Splitters win a third consecutive PBA League
Elias Cup title? That’s a question to be decided as theeight-team PBA League bracket plays out later in the
spring, and if you can pick the team that wins the
2016 Elias Cup, you could win a replica High 5 Gear
championship team jersey along with a bowling pin
autographed by the winning team members.
The PBA League Elias Eight Bracket Contest is a
new “PBA Year of the Fan” promotion featuring the
four-year-old PBA team competition. One lucky fan
that correctly picks the winners of seven PBA League
matches will be declared the winner. In case of ties,
whoever comes closest in determining the total pin-
fall for both teams in the five-player Elias Cup final
match will be the first tiebreaker, and time of entry
will be the second if needed. The winner will be
announced on Monday, May 9.
To enter the contest, fans ages 21 or older must fillout the official PBA League Elias Eight bracket and
post it on your Facebook or Twitter page using the
hashtag #PBAEliasCup and tag the PBA social chan-
nels
(https://www.facebook.com/ProfessionalBowlersA
ssociation) or @PBATour. All brackets must be post-
ed no later than 8 p.m. EDT (5 p.m. PDT) on
Thursday, March 31. See complete rules below. The
official bracket can be found on pba.com, or look for
a link on PBA’s Facebook or Twitter pages.
ROCKAWAY, NJ - Brent Tishuk
posted a 300 game to highlight a
772 series while competing in the
Rockaway Trios at Rockaway
Lanes. However the real story at
the event was the 287, career high
game that Dori Tingoli rolled.
It started January 23, three days
after a dear friend Al Jones passed
away and Dori walked into the Pro
Shop and on the floor was a tub
with 3 bowling balls in it. Dori
picked up one of the balls and
showed it to shop owner and pro
Ken Yokobosky and said, “Hey.
Look this ball fits me perfect.”
Ken said, “Take it, it was Al’s
ball.”
Dori took it and told Ken she
would practice with it and see
what it does. Ken said, “Use it
tonight in league and forget the
practice. It’s Al’s ball.”
Skipping the practice Dori took
it to league and the first 10 times
she sent it down the lanes the ball
was perfect with 10 strikes in a
row. The 11th time left a pocket 8-
10 split, and the rest was history.
Dori said, “It was very exciting
and I never experienced nerves
like that in my life... Not ever.”
She went on to say, “someday,
however, in my dad’s memory and
in Al’s, I am confident that 300
will happen.”
