The 2010-11 USBC National Standard High Average and High Series Awards
By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC In the Standard high series category, three bowlers rolled a 900 series to tie in the Adult Male division. Bill Howell III of Middletown, N.Y., accomplished the feat during the Bruce Bryan 3 Person league at Tarsio Lanes 52 on Oct. 21, 2010, and five weeks later, on Nov. 28, Matt Latarski of Medina, Ohio, rolled a 900 series during the Sunday Morning Trio at Roseland Lanes. Bob Kammer Jr. of Crown Point, Ind., became the 18th bowler in history with a perfect series when he tossed his on Jan. 8, 2011 during the Saturday Invitational League at Stardust Bowl II in Merrillville, Ind. Quantrelle Green of Douglasville, Ga., had the top series for adult females with 870 (280, 300, 290), which was rolled in the Monday Night Big Money league on Sept. 27, 2010 at Suburban Lanes.

For instance, the money winning list is important, and the goal of every pro is to top the list. Yet, a bowler can get red hot in a string of events, win them or finish high, and maybe cop a super special high paying event, and can become the leading money winner, even though he cashed in a small percentage of the tournaments in which he competed. Good guides to a bowler's ability are the percentage of cashes and the average money won per tournament. Averages can be very deceiving, among pros and amateurs. As we all know, scoring conditions vary, boy do they vary. In one event a 210 average could win, while in another a 230 averages results in an also-ran position. Thus you could have one bowler with a less than 210 average who just happened to roll on all the most difficult lane conditions, and another who averaged better than 220 because he happened to roll on the soft conditions. In some cases the lower average bowler could be a better bowler. There are unfair handicaps in that area of bowling. A bowler can roll in one center one night a week in one league where conditions create low scoring, and he can post a legitimate average, true but low. His handicap is based on that average, and before it can be adjusted, he can feast on easier conditions, and win some big prize money. And that's an honest bowler. Imagine what can, and does happen, when a bowler plots and plans the low average script. Because bowling is such a numbers game, from the pin count of a single ball to the grand total of 1,000 games or more, all sorts of statistics are recorded. The trouble comes when those statistics are taken for gospel, rather than given a close, second look. One bowler can average 10 pins higher than another but isn't as valuable to a team because he chokes in the clutch, or he gets most of his big games when the games are out of the wood, or he comes up with a real big game every now and then that carry a lot of lesser games to a good average but losing efforts in team and head to head competition. Bowling still remains the rare sport to overly reward beginners for being terrible, and rewards them even more if they get worse. Not only that, but they are allowed to roll for big money or major awards after only a year or two in the sport. Handicaps were created to equalize and find a way to put a lower average bowler on a par with those who are better so that they can fairly compete in the same leagues and tournaments. But contrary to much complaining, too often too much handicap is awarded, so much so that in some events bowlers roll better than 900 for a three game stint and 800s and high 700s are common. They are not common in ordinary play. The major problem with most handicap systems is that they are based on the premise that every bowler in every game is doing his or her best. That just isn't so. Too many bowlers seem to be looking for too many edges in constructing teams better than the average limits. There was a time when bowlers wanted to bowl against the best and move up in class by learning more against the better bowlers rather than getting more free pins. Bowling statistics, like bathing suits, should be a guide, because there could be more than meets the eye.

BATON ROUGE WELCOMES USBC OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Matt Cannizzaro - USBC ARLINGTON, Texas - With help from Mayor Kip Holden, construction on the venue that will be home to the 2012 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships got underway in Baton Rouge, La., last week. Holden and Baton Rouge Area Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO Paul Arrigo helped snap the official string line and turned over the keys to the Baton Rouge River Center as dignitaries, supporters and media got their final look at the empty convention center before construction crews turn it into a state-of-the-art bowling stadium. "We are excited to welcome the 2012 USBC Open Championships back to Baton Rouge," Arrigo said. "It is a pleasure to host the largest indoor participatory sporting event in the world. We look forward to the bowlers and their families returning to our city to enjoy our culture, cuisine and hospitality." Earlier in the week, the USBC tournament crew welcomed the first of more than 40 truckloads of materials needed to transform the River Center into the biggest stage in bowling. Construction is scheduled to be complete during the first week of February. The finished venue will include 48 tournament lanes, four showcase lanes, squad room, locker room, concession area, offices and vendor space that will be bustling with nearly 60,000 bowlers during the tournament's 151-day run from Feb. 11-July 10. So far, more than 11,300 teams are registered to compete in the 2012 Open Championships, which will be the event's second visit to Louisiana. It first was held there, also in Baton Rouge, in 2005. "We're excited about being back in Baton Rouge, and we can't wait for the bowlers to see all of the changes to the city and the River Center since we were here in 2005," said Brian Lewis, USBC Managing Director of Tournaments. "We truly enjoyed the southern hospitality the first time around, and the community has rolled out the red carpet for us again this year. It has been nice to see some familiar faces, and it has been even better to see the trucks rolling in." WEBCAMS MOUNTED AND READY Since being introduced in 2004, one of the most popular features of the USBC Open Championships page on BOWL.com has been the unique interactive webcams that are mounted in the rafters above the tournament lanes and give friends and family members a chance to watch the bowlers in action. Traditionally, there have been five webcams capable of taking live (still) pictures of the tournament action as it happens. Beginning in 2012, two of the cameras will be replaced with streaming cameras that will sweep the venue throughout the day and provide non-stop live video footage. The other three cameras will maintain the same capabilities bowlers and fans are used to. Viewers will be able to manipulate the three point-and-click cameras from home, allowing them to zoom in or out to photograph different parts of the venue. Currently, one of each type of camera is up and running, so visitors can stop by and check out how the construction process is unfolding at the River Center. The webcams can be accessed by visiting the Open Championships page on BOWL.com.

ENTRY DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR 2012 USBC OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS

The entry deadline for the 2012 USBC Open Championships has been extend to March 1, 2012, so interested team captains have time to sign up their teams. There still are some prime times available, but spots are filling quickly. For more information on the Open Championships, or to register a team for 2012, visit BOWL.com/openchamp or call 800-514-BOWL.
