Posted on Feb 20 2009
The Saipan Filipino-American Lions Club will hold its fundraising classified bowling tournament this weekend at the Saipan Bowling Center with guaranteed prizes of $300 each for the champions in Class A, B and C.
The tournament is jointly sponsored by Tan Holdings Corp., JET Holdings, Micronesian Brokers, Inc., Eli Arago, Lina Dimaano, Jess Delos Santos, and A&L Corporation.
The event will begin with the three-game roll-off at 6:30pm today, Feb. 21, and it will resume at 12:30pm tomorrow, Feb. 22.
The stepladder finals will be held on the last day of the two-day event after the three-game roll-off is completed.
Bowlers have the option to bowl on the first day or the second day, or on both days, but only the highest series will be counted for determining the top three bowlers for the stepladder finals. Actual handicap will be added to each bowler’s score.
Based on the tournament rules, only bowlers with average based on 12 games in any league can join the tournament. The official list compiled based on completed or ongoing SBA/PBA leagues shall be the basis for classification.
Bowlers with less than 12 games can play, but only under Class A. For unlisted bowlers, established average based on 12 or more games in any league may be used.
Classification of bowlers is based on averages as follows: Class A, 170 and over; Class B, 155 to 169; Class C, 154 and below.
Participants are grouped in particular lanes by classification and they will move to a different pair of lanes for every game.
The Top 3 bowlers from each class will be determined base on the total score for the three-game series.
The championship will be a stepladder format: semifinal (No. 2 vs. No. 3), and the winner will bowl against No. 1 for the championship in a knockout game.
For more information, interested participants can contact Ador Dimaano, Gigi Zapanta, Robert Talavera, or any member of the Saipan Fil-American Lions Club.
