At Ocean Lanes

SEATTLE, Washington The 48th edition of the

Professional Bowlers Association Tournament of Champions

will return to its traditional roots in March of 2013 when it

will feature an exclusive field featuring 48 PBA Tour champi-

ons plus any previous TOC winners who elect to participate.

The Tournament of Champions will be held at Woodland

Bowl in Indianapolis, March 26-31, concluding with a live

five-player stepladder final airing on ESPN.

Since its inception in 1962, the PBA Tournament of

Champions has gone through several adaptations given the

circumstances of the day and has maintained its unique

appeal. But for this year and moving forward we have con-cluded that the simple variables that made the TOC the PBAs

signature event should be restored, said PBA Commissioner

Tom Clark.

The two most important variables include returning the

Tournament of Champions to an elite field allowing the

drama of trying to qualify to unfold and utilizing a classic

PBA tournament format of 48 games with all entrants starting

on equal footing.

PBA Hall of Famer Johnny Petraglia, who won the 1971

Firestone Tournament of Champions in Akron, Ohio, in his

first step toward completing the PBA Triple Crown, is pleased

with the return to an exclusive field.

This is wonderful news, Petraglia said. Im so happy. Im

a past champion and if Im allowed to bowl, Ill go even if I

dont think I have a chance to win.

Newly-inducted PBA Hall of Famer Jason Couch, the only

player to win the TOC three consecutive times, also likes the

decision.

I loved the old way when we had the bubble list every

week, Couch said. It was great to watch on television,

unless you were the guy on the bubble. I can certainly see

myself coming out of retirement to bowl in it.

The 2013 TOC will feature a core field of 48 players. To

make up that field, precedence goes to PBA national champi-ons who are Touring 1 or 2 players (those who bowled in at

least 60 percent of PBA Tour events last year). For the upcom-

ing season, 46 PBA Tour champions fall into that category.

Because there are 46, the remaining places on the roster will

be filled by the most current title winners who did not attain

touring player status last season. The current list (see below)

may change during the 2012-13 season. Any new champion

will bump the last eligible player Robert Smith is currently

on the bubble off the eligibility list.

Additionally, all former TOC champions have a lifetime

invitation to compete. Any past champions who currently are

not Touring Players (see below) who elect to enter would

increase the field to more than 48.

The 2013 Tournament of Champions will get underway on

Wednesday, March 27, with two eight-game qualifying

rounds. After a third eight-game round on Thursday, the top

24 players will advance to eight-game match play rounds

Thursday evening and Friday. The top five after 48 games

advance to Sundays ESPN finals. A pro-am program and the

PBA Hall of Fame induction dinner will highlight Saturdays

schedule.

First prize in the TOC will be $50,000. All players will cash.

Last place will pay $1,450.

The Tournament of Champions has provided many of themost memorable moments in PBA history the PBAs first

nationally-televised 300 by Jack Biondolillo in 1967, Don

Johnsons emotional 299 in the title match against Dick Ritger

in 1970, Kelly Kulicks historic victory for women in 2010,

Mika Koivuniemis 299 on his way to a record $250,000 prize

in 2011 are among many others.

The PBA Tournament of Champions has always provided

electric moments, Clark said. In 2013, we expect more of

that kind of drama: 48 champions, 48 games and live nation-

ally-televised finals with history riding on every ball. Its

going to be a great way to conclude the winter segment of our

2012-13 schedule.

October 24 - 30, 2012 SPORTS REPORTER 3

ARLINGTON, Texas - The United

States Bowling Congress and 900

Global have agreed on a sponsorship

deal making 900 Global the official

sponsor of the Showcase Lanes and

two new side tournaments being held

in conjunction with the 2013 USBC

Open and Women's Championships

in Reno, Nev.

The 900 Global Showcase Lanes

will give bowlers the chance to book

practice sessions on the tournament

lane conditions or get coaching tips

from a USBC Silver coach before

competing on the main champi-

onship lanes. The concept was intro-

duced at the 2012 Open

Championships in Baton Rouge, La.

For 2013, renovations to the

ground floor of the National Bowling

Stadium will allow for 10 Showcase

Lanes, compared to four lanes at the

Baton Rouge River Center in 2012.

The additional capacity means

more opportunities for bowlers to

practice and compete while in the

Biggest Little City in the World.

Competitors from both the Open and

Women's Championships will be

able to hone their skills on the exact

lane conditions they'll face at their

respective tournaments.

Traditionally, the lane conditions

for the Open and Women's

Championships are posted on

BOWL.com and available to bowl-

ing centers across the country just

before the start of each tournament.

Matching the oil, lane machine, lane

surface and environment are proven

challenges, so being able to practice

on lanes maintained by the USBC

event staff, and so close to the tour-

nament action, will provide an

unmatchable opportunity.

The one-of-a-kind NBS will wel-

come more than 50,000 Open

Championships competitors, and

more than 25,000 bowlers will make

their way to the Reno-Sparks

Convention Center for the Women's

Championships. The 2013 Open

Championships will kick off March

1, and the Women's Championships

will start April 12.

Reservations are recommended for

bowlers wanting practice or coaching

sessions on the 900 Global Showcase

Lanes. The Open and Women's

Championships oil patterns both will

be available.

900 Global also will sponsor two

unique side events on the Showcase

Lanes at the NBS - the 900 Global

Two-Game Challenge and the Who's

Got the Look Baker Bonanza pre-

sented by 900 Global. The side

events will have their own lane con-

dition, and bowlers will be able to

compete anytime lanes are available

beginning at 11 a.m. Hours are sub-

ject to change.

As the presenting sponsor for the

Showcase Lanes and the side events,

900 Global also will have the oppor-

tunity to show off its product line.

For one hour in the morning (9:30-

10:30 a.m.) and one hour each after-

noon (1:30-2:30 p.m.) on the 900

Global Showcase Lanes, bowlers

will have the chance to learn about

and throw the newest 900 Global

balls free of charge.

"The Open and Women's

Championships are the two premier

events in bowling, and we are thrilled

to be able to have such a significant

presence at both upcoming tourna-

ments," said 900 Global's Dave

Smart. "The Showcase Lanes and

side events help create a fun and

competitive environment with a lot

of traffic, and we welcome the oppor-

tunity to promote our products and

help enhance the tournament experi-

ence for so many dedicated bowlers."

Pricing on the Showcase Lanes:

* $200: One-hour session with a

USBC Silver coach (based on avail-

ability)

* $100: One hour of practice for up

to 10 bowlers (no coach)

For more information about the

900 Global Showcase Lanes, visit

BOWL.com/showcaselanes. To

reserve your coaching or practice

times, call (866) 977-7433 or email

[email protected].

Details on the 900 Global Two-

Game Challenge and Who's Got the

Look Baker Bonanza will be avail-

able soon.

SEATTLE, Washington The Professional Bowlers Associations experimental regional

animal pattern championship series has produced 35 paid entries into PBA World Series

of Bowling IV and a significant increase in the average number of entries in PBA Regional

tournaments between March and August of 2012, PBA Director of Regional and Senior

Tours John Weber announced.

The inaugural animal pattern series featured Cheetah, Viper, Scorpion and Chameleon

Championships in each of the PBAs seven regions (the Shark pattern, the fifth lane condi-

tion in the series, was not used in the first-year program). Each event offered an optional

entry program, allowing players who elected to do so to compete on specific lane condi-

tions for a paid World Series entry. In addition, the top player in overall competition points

in each region whether or not he paid the optional entry fees also received a World

Series entry.

The animal pattern program was introduced by the PBA during the 2008-09 season to

provide the bowling public with a method to easily differentiate between the variety of lane

conditioning challenges professional bowlers face. It has served as a central part of the

World Series of Bowling since the WSOBs inception in 2009, producing an annual series

of animal pattern championships. The animal patterns also are featured in the PBA

Experience Sport Bowling league program conducted by the United States Bowling

Congress, providing grassroots league and tournament bowlers opportunities to test their

skills on the same lane conditions used in PBA competition.

The new regional tournament series drew a total of 1,991 entries for 28 events an aver-

age of 71.1 entries per tournament which represents a nine percent increase compared to

entries in the more than 170 PBA Regional tournaments conducted over the past year. The

Cheetah events drew the highest number of entries in five of the seven regions while

Scorpion Championships drew the fewest entries in four of the seven regions.
