For the first time ever, brands from all over the industry will be under one roof for the bowlers allowing them to "test drive" their products, and get a first hand look at what balls might be good for them. Generally, brands do their own exclusive demos for bowlers coinciding with pro shops, but for this event, it is very different. With this event, the brands will be on hand to help get bowlers ready for the new league season ahead, and give them the opportunity to see what is new on the market.
Brands that will be in attendance will be Ebonite, Hammer, Columbia 300, Track, Storm, Roto Grip and 900 Global. The demo will begin at 1pm and go until 5pm, with the brands remaining on hand during the tournament, which begins at 7pm.
The Bowling News Kickoff Classic is a 5-person mixed handicap team tournament created and organized by Dino Castillo, and will be held at AMF Showplace Euless Lanes in Euless, TX. Teams will bowl 3 games, much like in regular league play, with standings determined by total pins plus handicap, which will be 90% of the difference between the team average and the 1075 cap.
Each team must have at least 1 male and 1 female bowler, and any combination after that, and must also stay within a 1075 team average cap based on 2009-2010 yearbook averages. Teams can also have only one PBA member per team. Entry into the tournament is $400/team.
Entry forms are available in bowling centers throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, as well as online here. Dino can also be contacted to enter the tournament at dino@thebowlingshops.com. Entries are open until the start of the tournament.
