EL PASO, Texas - The 2015 United States Bowling
Congress Open Championships will be remembered as
much for its impact on the tournament's record book as it
will for its top scores and on-lane excitement.
A handful of bowlers added to their legacies on the cham-
pionship lanes, while others realized lifelong goals by win-
ning for the first time.
Matt McNiel of Prior Lake, Minnesota, made history this
year at the El Paso Convention Center by becoming the first
bowler in 112 years of USBC Open Championships compe-
tition to win three Regular All-Events titles. Only four other
bowlers, all USBC Hall of Famers, have won the crown
multiple times.z
The 30-year-old left-hander has averaged more than 243
at the Open Championships since his breakout performance
in 2010, and that streak includes four wins, 13 top-10 fin-
ishes, three 800 series and two perfect games.
This year, McNiel rolled sets of 765 in singles, 734 in
doubles and 727 in team to claim the title with a 2,226 total.
He also finished second in Regular Doubles with Charles
Vashaw of Deephaven, Minnesota (1,403), third in Regular
Team as part of Linds Lakers 1 of Minneapolis (3,297) and
tied for ninth in Regular Singles.
"This is very overwhelming right now, but it means so
much to me," said McNiel, who also won Regular All-
Events in 2010 and 2012 as well as Regular Doubles in
2012. "I just want to stand out and prove I can compete. I
want to earn the respect of my peers, ultimately, and I hope
this is another step toward that. This tournament is so spe-
cial, and this is an absolute dream come true."
Anthony LaCaze of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, earned his
spot in tournament history by becoming the second bowler
to win titles in three consecutive years, helping Junior Team
USA Support 1 of Las Vegas to the Team All-Events title
with a 10,064 total.
The 32-year-old right-hander helped the same group to the
Team All-Events win in 2013 and returned to the National
Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nevada, a year later to win
Regular All-Events. He'll share a spot in tournament lore
with USBC Hall of Famer Les Zikes of Palatine, Illinois,
who won in 1962, 1963 and 1964. Zikes is a member of the
60-Year and 100,000-Pin Clubs at the Open Championships
and owns six titles overall.
This year in El Paso, LaCaze contributed a 1,988 all-
events total to the winning score, and he was joined by Erik
Vermilyea (2,083), Matthew Tuckfield (2,048), Steve
Novak (1,982) and Jeffrey Mersch (1,963). The group also
finished second in Regular Team with a 3,359 total.
"This is an honor and an unbelievable feeling," LaCaze
said. "It's hard to find the words to describe it. If it weren't
for my teammates - my team and our companion team - I
wouldn't be in this position, and to be able to share it with
them as the Team All-Events champions makes it even bet-
ter."
In the team event, Adam Barta, Brian Waliczek and for-
mer Team USA members Rob Gotchall and Scott Pohl
found their way to the winner's circle on the biggest stage in
bowling for the first time, while Mike Rose Jr., the 2007
Regular All-Events champion, added a second win to his
resume.
The five came together as Team NABR of West Henrietta,
New York, and an exciting finish live on BowlTV lifted
them to the Regular Team win with a 3,368 total. They had
games of 1,057, 1,123 and 1,188.
Gotchall led the way for Team NABR with a 783 series
and was followed by Rose (697), Waliczek (659), Barta
(636) and Pohl (593).

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing.”
― George Bernard Shaw
"I told the guys last night that
it has hit me, but it hasn't really
hit me," said Gotchall, who fin-
ished second in Regular All-
Events with a 2,181 total and
led Team NABR to a second-
place fin ish in Team All-Events
(9,886). "This is something
we've always dreamed of, but
what we achieved and accom-
pl ished tog ether reall y won 'tsink in until we get there next
year and see the eagles next to
our names on the scoreboard."
The Regular Doubles title
went to Mark Sleeper Jr. of
Kaufman, Texas, and 18-year-
old two-hander Anthony
Simonsen of Princeton, Texas,
who earned the win in just his
third Open Championships
appearance with a 1,409 total.
Sleeper, a 31-year-old right-
hander, led the way with games
of 247, 262 and 235 for a 744
series, while Simonsen, who
attacks the lanes from the right
side, added 204, 236 and 225for a 665 set.
"I've never been in this posi-
tion before, so I wasn't sure
what to think or feel," said
Sleeper, who rolled a perfect
game at the 2014 Open
Championships. "Right now,
there is a combination of disbe-
lief and relief because the wait
is finally over. It's such an
incredible feeling. It's also pret-
ty neat to be able to get togeth-
er with someone as talented as
Anthony and win it."
Ronnie Sparks Jr. of Redford,Michigan, was able to continue
his success in The Sun City, this
time claiming the Regular
Singles title at the El Paso
Convention Center.
The 27-year-old right-hander
put together games of 278 , 246
and 269 for a 793 series, outdis-
tancing more than 35,000
bowler s.
"This is right next to the
national championship with
Wichita, but that's a little dif-
ferent because so much work
goes into that over nine or 10
months, and you get to share it
with others," said Sparks, a for-mer Team USA member and
collegiate standout who helped
Wichita State to the men's title
at the 2010 XBowling
Intercollegiate Team
Championships, also at the El
Paso Convention Center. "This
win is very special, and it's
ironic that it happened in the
same place. It could've been
anyone on any squad who
changed the outcome for me,
but I'm very blessed to have
held on. I'm also fortunate to
have the time and support to beable to bowl and chase my
dreams."
In the Classified Division, the
team trophy will head to
Alexandria, Minnesota, for the
second consecutive year, this
time to Scotty's 3, which earned
the win with a 2,676 total.
The group put together games
of 849, 922 and 905 and added
its name to the record book
beside Sco tty' s 1, which
claimed the title in 2014.
Tyler Grabow led the charge
for Scotty's 3 with a 587 series
and was followed by Marshal
Lagred (586), Brady Erdmann(539), Jed Lye (509) and Alan
Iverson (455).
Lagred continued his momen-
tum in doubles and singles and
found individual success, earn-
ing the Classified All-Events
title with a 1,734 total. He
added 512 in doubles and 636
in singles, which was third
overall.
The Classified Doubles title
went to Vicky and Jamie
Pollard of Versailles, Indiana,
who added to their family lega-
cy at the Open Championships.
Vicky, a 54-year-old right-
hander, led the effort with
games of 165, 243 and 204 for a
612 series, while Jamie, a 26-
year-old right-hander, added
137, 201 and 212 for 550, giv-
ing the pair a 1,162 total.
Pollard's Bowl, which
claimed the 1996 Team All-
Events crown with a record
score of 10,425, included broth-
ers and USBC Hall of Famers
Rick and Ron Pollard.
"It has been a really long wait,
but it has been pre tty exciti ng,
too," Vicky Pollard said. "We're
really looking forward to seeingthe banner hanging in our little
eight-lane bowling center after
it comes down next year."
Finally, for the first time since
the introduction of the
Classified Division in 1999,
there was a tie for first place in
Classified Singles.
Dave Berky of Ely, Nevada,
and Patty Turner of Oak Lawn,
Illinois, shared the top spot
with 642.
Berky, a 49-year-old right-
hander bounced back from a
disappointing doubles effort
with games of 223, 234 and
185. Turner, a 39-year-oldright-hander who throws a
back-up ball , shot 228 , 236 and
178. The two also tied for
fourth place in Classified All-
Events with 1,706.
Individuals in the Classified
Division have entering averages
of 180 and below, doubles
teams have combined entering
averages of 360 and below and
teams must have entering aver-
ages of 900 and below.
Some of the most memorable
moments at the 2015 Open
Championships did not trans-
late to the leaderboard.
On March 18, 92-year-old
Sylvester Thiel of Lake City,
Minnesota, became the third
bowler in his tory to cel ebrate
70 appearances on the champi-
onship lanes. He joined late
USBC Hall of Famers Bill
Doehrman of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, and Joe Norris of San
Diego in the event's elite 70-
Year Club and plans to tie their
par tic ipa tion record of 71 years
next March in Reno.
Less than two weeks after
Thiel's memorable march down
Center Aisle, USBC Hall of Famer and eight-time Open
Championships titlist Bill
Lillard Sr. of Houston became
the tournament's all-time pin-
fall leader.
Knee and hip injuries forced
the 87-year-old right-hander to
use an abbreviated approach
this year in El Paso, but he
reached the record with a strike
during his first game of singles.
He finished his 68th consecu-
tive tournament appearance
with a career pinfall total of
124,087 after surpassing the
previous mark of 123,770 set
by Norr is.During the 2015 event, the
tournament's first visit to El
Paso, two bowlers competed for
the 65th time, one reached 60
years, two eclipsed 100,000
pin s and 12 bowler s became
members of the 50-Year Club.
On the lanes, there were six
perfect games , six 299s and
three 298s. There were 10 other
bowler s to log 11 consecutive
strikes, while no one rolled an
800 series at the El Paso
Convention Center.
The 2015 tournament kicked
off March 7 and ran from 9 a.m.
until approximately 1 a.m. for
127 consecutive days. More
than 7,300 five-player teams
competed in El Paso this year.

has amassed several prestigious bowling titles and honor scores.
He has a been a member of four Championship Teams in the
annual Bahr Supremacy Tournament.
At the New Jersey State level he has won The Doubles
Championship in the 2010 Annual Tournament and the Team
event in 1995.
His 860 series at Howell Lanes ranks as the highest series ever
bowled in in that center's 56 year history. Add to that his 30 300games and 15 800 series and one can see why he has earned this
prestigious award. He has averaged over 230 in each of the last
five seasons and is regarded by many to be one of the best
bowlers in MC.
Mike has also accrued honor scores and tournament wins in
Ocean county.
Lou G Colucci for Meritorious Service
Lou joined the MC Board in 1999 and quickly became a
leader. His first efforts were directed at the Scholarship commit-
tee and establishing the Over/Under Tournament, which is still
successful and fun today.
During his 16 year career on the board, Lou has gone through
the Vice President Chairs for 4 years to become President in
2005 and again in 2009. In 2005, ABC and WIBC merged to
become USBC, and Lou was there to handle those enormous
issues. In 2009, MC USBC BA, WBA and YABA merged, and
Lou was there to deal it.
When Lou was President for the first time, he created a com-
mittee to raise funds for the BVL, which has become a very suc-
cessful endeavor. Lou has chaired the Planning Board for the
past six years, and has been the driving force for change in all
the right places. He has chaired the Budget committee for the
past six years. He also chaired almost every other committee
there is, always leaving that committee in a better position thanit was before.
Lou became a Director of the New Jersey State USBC BA in
2007, having served as a Delegate the previous 3 years and as an
Alternate for 4 years before that. Lou is currently 2nd VP and on
August 1st will be 1st VP on the State Board, having started as
6th VP in 2010. He has been a core member of the NJ State
Championship Tournament for the past 4 years, and co-managed
the tournament in 2009 with Steve Stein. He has been very help-
ful and influential in having the State Tournament in our own
backyard when the committee looks at locations in Central
Jersey.
On the National level, Lou has participated in seven USBC
Conventions as a Delegate.
Ray Vogel Distinguished Service Award
Ray has served on the MC Board of Directors since 1989. In
1998, he became the Secretary/Association Manager for MC
and has served in that capacity to the present day. In 2003, Raywas inducted into the MC USBC Hall of Fame for Bowling
Achievement.
He has attended 26 National Open Championship
Tournaments. And he has attended 10 National Conventions as
a Delegate representing MC every year since 2006.
Ray served MC by becoming an Officer and President and
being a Director and Delegate on the New Jersey State USBC
BA Board. He became a National and New Jersey State leader
on the Bowl.com forum, and today continues to give advice to
new and existing Association Managers and Officers on
Facebook Local, State and National groups.
In MC he deals with every League Secretary and most League
Presidents to help or solve problems. He has earned a reputation
for being fair and helpful.
MC USBC is very proud of Ray’s achievements over his 28
year history with the New Jersey State USBC BA and the MC
USBC boards, and we are very sad that he is resigning as
Association Manager. However, he promises to stay involved
and remain on the board as long as he can.

ARLINGTON, Texas – To encourage more bowlers and
leagues to take advantage of competing on challenging lane
conditions and to improve certified tournament average
integrity, the United States Bowling Congress has made
several enhancements to the Sport Bowling program for the
2015-2016 season, which started Aug. 1.
Leagues choosing to compete on Sport lane patterns now
will have the opportunity to report as a Sport/Challenge
league without submitting lane tapes or requiring bowlers
to purchase membership upgrades. The USBC Sport mem-
bership, including the awards program, will be discontinuedas bowlers no longer will need to purchase a membership
upgrade to compete in Sport leagues.
“We are removing what historically has been noted as the
two largest barriers to participation – the membership cost
for the bowler and the additional work required by those
running Sport leagues – so more leagues can take advantage
of Sport patterns,” USBC Executive Director Chad Murphy
said. “Removing the barriers will improve the average
integrity for all certified tournaments, which is the key rea-
son for the adjustment to the program.”
The Sport Bowling page of BOWL.com re-launched July
1 with complete information and reference materials for
bowlers, league secretaries and proprietors. The page has
Sport Bowling patterns, video tips on how to play certain
Sport patterns, ideas for league formats and more informa-
tion to help start and run a Sport Bowling league.
“USBC will lose some revenue as part of the switch, but
average integrity is important to the future growth of the
sport,” Murphy said. “We also want to encourage bowlers
and leagues to take advantage of any Sport Bowling optionsthey choose. Whether it is PBA Experience, Kegel
Challenge, World Bowling or others, we should see more
competition-level patterns in use because the process will
be as simple as certifying the league with the new designa-
tion with no paperwork or tapes required.”
Starting with the 2015-2016 season, leagues that want to
compete on Sport Bowling conditions will designate as a
Sport/Challenge league on the league application form;
bowlers competing in the league will have a corresponding
icon next to their average for that league.
Because Sport Bowling conditions are more challenging
than typical league conditions, bowler averages on Sport
conditions usually are lower. Designating these leagues
moving forward will assist league and tournament operators
in automatically adjusting averages for a bowler.
The Sport Bowling Average Adjustment Scale also has
been modified, based on data of more than 20,000 averages,
as part of the Sport Bowling makeover. The new chart can
be found here. The scale, of course, does not supersede a
tournament director’s ability to adjust any bowler’s averageupward for a tournament.
The Sport Bowling program started with the 2000-2001
season in response to technology changes in the sport. Sport
Bowling emphasizes the bowler’s ability to make consis-
tently accurate shots and to know when to make necessary
adjustments. Most major USBC events, the PBA Tour,
PWBA Tour and World Bowling events are conducted on
Sport Bowling patterns.
