Rule #1 NEVER ever set it to 2020!
On Wednesday, May 6, the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Board of Directors approved modifi-cation to the USBC playing rules, that would allow for leagues and tournaments to resume while also main-taining an environment that encourages social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis across the country.
Included in the chang-es are the allowance of leagues and tournaments to be bowled on just one lane, waiving the need for bowl-ers to cross two lanes and not bowling on the same lane in two consecutive frames, and also the use of isopropyl alcohol to sanitize bowling balls. The exact
THE USBC MUST KEEP LEAGUE BOWLING ON PAIRS OF LANES
DESPITE COVID-19 GUIDELINESby Jonathan Garza
rules modified are rules 106a, 106b, 320a and 320b.
Awards and honor scores are now acceptable on just one lane, and frankly, this just makes the game that much easier for bowlers to increase the tally on their perfect games, 800 series and even 900 series! Bad, bad, bad!
These new rules could be rescinded as the safety guidelines regarding CO-VID-19 are modified – so it could be a change that doesn’t last very long, and for the sake of the game, let’s hope it doesn’t.
One thing about bowling that makes it so fun is trying to figure out both lanes in a
CAMARILLO – Even though several injuries took him away from staying a competitive bowler, Andre Good still loved the sport and wanted to be involved with it so he now runs the Harley’s Valley Bowl Tour-nament Club for scratch bowlers.
Another former youth bowler and CA native, Good was born and raised in Ventura and is current-ly residing in Camarillo. Andre started his bowl-ing career at the age of 5 and bowled in the Bantam Blasters youth league at Buena Lanes in Ventura. Now 36, Andre bowled pretty much straight through until a back injury stopped him in his tracks in May of 2006 and took him away from bowling for 3 months. He returned back in September of 2006 and bowled that season but was out again until December of 2010 when he returned and bowled until Novem-ber of 2017 when he had to stop again due to a herni-ated disc that forced him to retire from bowling.
BREAKPOINT — Andre Good —Harley’s Valley Bowl Tournament Club
by Bette Addington, California Bowling WritersGood did get to ex-
perience some personal achievements although most were junior titles – two JAT Farm Club titles, five or six JCT titles and he won first place in the Ventura County tourna-ment multiple years – so the desire to compete and succeed was there. In ad-dition to bowling on the lanes, Good also served on his local association board for six years.
But not being able to bowl didn’t set right with Andre as he longed for the “friendships and my com-petitive nature. Even if I’m not bowling, I want to be known as the best tour-nament director in Califor-nia.”
Speaking of friends, An-dre’s friend Chris Shusta asked him to help him run a set of tournaments back in 2006 after he injured his back. The two of them ran tournaments together for about four years on the Port Hueneme Naval Base. From these events the Ven-tura County Bowlers Tour, “a precursor to my current
tournament club,” was born. The VCBT lasted around two years until their sponsor left due to finan-cial reasons. Andre took off a year and was then approached by Dan Muel-ler, GM of Buena Lanes, who gave Andre the idea for the tournament club. (Mueller had run a tourna-ment club in the 80-90’s.) Andre ran the tournament club at Buena Lanes from September 2012 until June
2017 and then moved it to Harley’s Valley Bowl in September 2017 and has run it there ever since. Al-though Andre runs a good portion of the tournament club, he currently is being assisted by Brenda Poland, Steve Sayward and Angela Lamont.
Good’s approach to this Harley’s Tournament Club is he wants to “give new and experienced scratch

Lavoie Drafted No. 1 As PBA League Rosters Are Set
Four-time PBA Tour champion Francois Lavoie was the top pick Sunday night in the 2020 PBA League Draft powered by BowlerX.
Lavoie, who has two U.S. Open titles to his cred-it, was selected with the first pick by the Las Vegas High Rollers in the draft, which was broadcast live exclusively on FloBowling.
The Brew City Ballers, the other expansion team in
the draft, selected 15-time PBA Tour champion Sean Rash with the second pick.
After selecting Lavoie, Las Vegas manager Amleto Monacelli went on to se-lect Andrew Anderson, AJ Johnson, Richie Teece and Ildemaro Ruiz to complete his roster.
Brew City manager Marshall Holman went the opposite direction as Las Vegas, taking established veterans with his first three
picks. Holman’s roster in-cludes Rash, Ryan Cimi-nelli, Dick Allen, Christo-pher Sloan and Zeke Bayt.
The 2020 PBA League is expected to be held this fall in Portland, Maine, at Bayside Bowl. The league had been scheduled to take place in July but was post-poned last week.
Below are the results of the draft as well as the completed rosters for each team. continued page 3 Francois Lavoie
REDLANDS – GREAT NEWS. As far as I know, no senior bowler in this area has succumbed to the COVID-19 virus. I have had contact with about a dozen of our senior bowlers since the quarantine began in March and none of these bowlers have contracted the virus nor did they know of anyone who did.
I ran into Lind Baldwin and his son Daniel at the Redland’s Hawaiian Ono restaurant several weeks ago. While in line, with our masks on, we discussed the current state of affairs in our Bowling community.
Neither of us knew of any bowlers struck by the virus.
While at Sam’s Club a few weeks ago I ran into SueLee and Dennis Santero. They were doing fine and were purchasing groceries with their daugh-ter. I have also had phone conversations with Mike Raddeman, our USBC As-sociation President, and two of my league secre-taries. No one mentioned knowing of anyone having contracted the Covid-19 virus. We are bowlers, we are strong, we will prevail! Looking forward to getting back to bowling soon.

The Frame GameGM Frank Ross of AMF Rocket Bowl sent me this sign up form for league bowlers want-ing to attend The Frame Game pilot taping back in 1985.
Looking back to 1985…
Does Anyone Remember The Frame Game?by Dave Williams
Those of you that enjoy The Game Show Network and have been around the game of ten pins for a while, might remember a bowling related show that was designed by Bernstein/Hovis Productions, in as-sociation with the Taft En-tertainment Company and MGM Studios, and known as “The Frame Game.”
Ken Lowman, former editor of the California Bowling News, made men-tion of the show in The Low Man Report, in September of 1985, when he compared the new production to the famous Jackpot Bowling, with host Milton Berle, that premiered on January 9, 1959. It was on this show in 1961 that professional bowler Therm Gibson won $75,000, which adjusted for inflation would be worth almost $650,000 today!
It is surprising to note that Leo Durocher was the host for the first two epi-sodes of Jackpot Bowling, followed by Mel Allen and Bud Palmer, before the network finally settled on Milton Berle… with Chick Hearn providing the play-by-play! Chick Hearn went on to become perhaps the most famous basketball an-nouncer of all time with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he broadcast an unbelievable 3,338 consecutive broadcasts on radio and television, beginning in 1961.
Jackpot Bowling initially aired from T-Bowl, a bowling center that still exists in the hamlet of Wayne, New Jersey, but moved to Hollywood Legion Lanes in Hollywood for the 1960 season. Ken comments in The Low Man Report, “The wish that another show of this type would again air has been voiced on numerous occasions by many of today’s proprietors who remember the good old days.”
Lowman, an eternal optimist that I enjoyed chatting with almost every Friday afternoon during my time in the San Fernando Valley, felt that The Frame Game might be the answer to the proprietors wishes. He mentioned that Art Flem-ing of Jeopardy fame had been touted as the host of the new format that would involve a professional bowler, a celebrity guest star, and league bowlers.
Dick Weber (who else?) had been selected as the first professional bowler for the pilot filming and first show. Ken goes on to say, “League bowlers will be selected from the audience to play for cash and prizes. A car was mentioned as one of the prizes, as well as merchandise from AMF and others.”
AMF Rocket Bowl in Chatsworth was selected as the first center to participate, by inviting 150 of their league members to the pilot filming; followed by Corbin Bowl of Tarzana, and Grand Central Bowl of Glendale, in succeeding weeks. Bus transportation was to be provided by the production company from the host bowling center, but in the case of AMF Rocket Bowl, the event was postponed. That’s where my knowledge about this promotion ends, and why I ask the question - Does Anyone Remember the Frame Game?
Ken mentions in his column, “I have seen the stage set designer’s drawing and it is spectacular. I can think of no reason that this production cannot be a complete success and a great benefit to the game. This show has the stamp of quality and excitement that should draw hosts of non-bowlers to the tube and eventually to bowling centers to give our game a try.”
While researching further, I noticed from word searches that Bernstein/Hovis had success in bringing forward new game shows. Their biggest success was “Anything for the Money,” with Fred Travalena, that originally aired in 1984, followed by Lingo in 1987, and Yahtzee in 1988. The Game Show Network advanced their own version of Lingo in 2002, with host Chuck Woolery, but there’s no information on the world wide web about the fate of The Frame Game.

pair each night. Lane 7 might play a lot tighter than 8, and scores might reflect that. What if you get stuck on Lane 7, and you’re hoping to open up the lanes?
Bowlers like to complain about bad lanes already, but when stuck on a “horrible” lane, you’re looking at tempers flaring and a lack of fun. Even worse is that you’re compet-ing against bowlers that aren’t bowling on the same lanes as you anymore. Some nights we’re going to bowl bad – but our opponents bail us out because they were even worse on that bad pair of the house that week.
Many dread bowling on corner lanes, and what is worse: the odd or even lane? What if your opponent gets the good lane? How about if you watch them strike all day on a lane that looks like it would’ve broken down in your favor? Sounds frustrating to me.
While working at Saddleback Lanes I have met a handful of bowlers who specifically request to bowl on odd-numbered lanes. One specifically is a bowler named Tim Jones, who bowls in the center’s Practice League. If I don’t have an odd-numbered lane open, he will not bowl, period; even if his Practice League Card expires that night. He just will not do it.
He will have to bowl on an even-numbered lane at some point given the safety guidelines laid out by Gold Cup Bowl-ing in Warner Robins, Georgia. They are putting a lane of space in between every group, and perhaps that’s what the solution might be during league night too.
But now think about the bowling center. A 32-lane center is now completely booked if a 16-team or higher league is bowling.
In a time where bowlers are itching to go bowl, and Americans are getting ready to jump at the opportunity to go out and have fun again, this could be bad for business.
Squads are the smart way to go here, but not on one lane, but a pair. Don’t take away the league-bowling experience.
By allowing teams to bowl on one lane is a very bad idea, USBC. Imagine eight bowlers within a typical bowler’s area. Lots of older centers needing to be updated have little to no space for 6-10 bowlers to hang out in, and hav-ing teams speed up a pace while crowding up two teams together is a recipe for disaster. Have you ever watched collegiate bowling? They bowl Baker format games, where five bowlers line up, and each bowler takes their turn; bowls and then heads to the back of the line to wait for their second frame. After a game they switch lanes. But the bowler’s area is so crowded! No way social distancing can be practiced in that way!
Back to the idea of squads. One team on a pair of lanes, with the left team hanging out on its odd lane, and the right team posting up on the even lane. Sure you might get a bad pair, but you’re begging to hang out with your bud-dies, right? Hanging around them, or at the table behind the lane, without worrying about another team hogging up your space sounds ideal, right? Bowlers would still cross lanes as normal, requiring the usual skill for bowling. It’ll feel like a prebowl.
The best part about it though is the pace. Since league would wrap up sooner, centers could allot their 16 lanes they’d typical set aside for league to eight teams across two different squad times across their usual three-hour slot. The league bowlers win, the centers win and open play bowlers win too – because they aren’t turned away.
At the end of the day this is about everybody having fun. Bowlers are ready to have fun, and I know our centers are ready to let them while staying safe and cautious.
Nothing has been decided on in terms of the centers I work at, in case anybody is wondering. All these is specula-tion and hearsay according to what USBC agreed to a few days ago.
If you too are unhappy with the USBC has done, let your secretary know to voice out to your local association today!
That said, we are one day closer to returning to the lanes, and I, as well as everybody else at the bowl are ready to see all the good times start to roll once more. See you soon!

bowlers an inexpensive option to compete. My tourna-ments are under $60 to enter no matter the format. There are plenty of handicap clubs, but no scratch clubs unless you turn professional. I’ve filled that gap. If someone new wants to spend $55 to bowl, they can. If someone experi-enced wants to spend $600 in brackets and sidepots, they can do that also.” Harley’s Tournament Club scratch tour-naments are open to all adult bowlers. Juniors can bowl the Singles events provided they sign a waiver. Tourna-ments are scratch 6 or 8 gamers, Doubles or Singles.
Harley’s Tournament Club does not have a TOC at the end of the season, they have a points system and year-end payout to the Top 16 in points. Added Good, “I don’t think a TOC is fair to someone who may have led the points the entire year and had one bad tournament in the TOC and lose out on hundreds of dollars in year-end money.”
His events draw bowlers mostly from California but occasionally a Las Vegas or Arizona bowler will come to compete. He’s had bowlers from all over our state from Sacramento to Goleta to San Bernardino to Orange Coun-ty come bowl. Robert Smith is a regular and he’s also had Steve Smith and Michael Haugen, Jr. enter. Bobby Campagnale supports Andre’s events as well, “I enjoy his tournaments because he has creative/different formats/sea-son points race and he always puts his events on patterns which are challenging which makes it fun. I’ve bowled his tournament series for I think 7-8 years now and will continue to as long as he has them and he’s a great guy!”
Andre ran 9 of these events last year and he planned to do the same for 2020—9 events and an additional tourna-ment in August that was separate from the club.
His tournament sponsors are Ebonite International and Strike 12 Creations (I use EBI still as the contract was signed with that name before they were acquired by Brunswick).
In his free time, Andre enjoys golf. He’s happy to have a job to go to work every day and just recently got an offer to go from a contract worker to a full-time employee with Amgen, which takes some of the day-to-day stress off but, he’s currently in the same mode as all the other tourna-ment directors trying to see how COVID-19 pans out. He has planned to have two upcoming tournaments, June 6th (6 gamer – Doubles) and July 11th (6 gamer – Singles), which are his two last tournaments of the season at Har-ley’s Valley Bowl in Simi Valley (check-in at 5pm; bowl at 6pm), but at this time does not feel confident the June event will take place. For more information on Andre’s HVB Tournament Club, go to their Facebook page “Har-ley’s Valley Bowl Tournament Club” or you can contact Andre direct at 805/415-7018. COVID-19 is not going to take the love of putting on scratch events away from Andre Good!!
