Fiji Water to take over from Bing in youth bowling
Starting this February, the monthly Prince and Princess of the Lanes Tenpin Bowling Tournament will be sponsored by Fiji Water.
Dubbed the Fiji Water Prince and Princess of the Lanes Tenpin Bowling Tournament, the competition is open to youth bowlers (12 to 19 years old, not bowling in any leagues or averaging less than 170 in any league).
The Prince and Princess of the Lanes will be held in Day 1 of the Budweiser King and Queen of the Lanes Bowling Tournament set for this Sunday, Feb. 15, at the Saipan Bowling Center. Entry fee is $10.
Incidentally, the Budweiser King and Queen of the Lanes Bowling Tournament’s second day will be held on Monday, Feb. 16, also at the Oleai bowling venue.
Sunday’s Budweiser roll-off begins at 3pm, while Monday’s competition starts at 6pm. Registration starts 30 minutes prior to game time. Awarding ceremonies immediately follow the end of competition on Monday.
The competition is exclusive for SBA members with participants limited to the first 60 entries for each day.
Members have the option to bowl on the Sunday or Monday, or on both days, provided that the $15 entry fee is paid. Bowlers who did not bowl on Sunday will be given priority for the Monday shift. Only the higher score will count for the tournament. All participants have to pay the $15 SBA annual membership fee.
The champion is guaranteed $100 in prize money, but it could go up to as much $150 depending on the number of participants. Women participants will only have separate prizes if there are at least 10 entries.
After being sponsor-less for the whole of 2007, the Saipan Bowling Association’s monthly King and Queen of the Lanes Tenpin Bowling Tournament as well as its season-ending bowlfest have secured the help of MARPAC for last year and this year’s competition.
The Budweiser King and Queen of the Lanes Tournament as well as the Fiji Water youth competition aim to crown 12 monthly champions through the course of the year.
