The event will be held at AMF Showplace Garland, a 58 lane bowling center in Garland, TX. It has not been hosted in the Dallas area since 1976 when it was held in Grand Prairie at Forum Bowl. Paul Moser defeated Jim Frazier 226195 to take that title. The event was not held last year, so Wes Malott will be the defending champion after defeating Jason Belmonte 214-156 in Columbus, OH in 2013. The U.S. Open title is the chalice of titles. It has eluded some of the greatest players in our sport. The format is long. The pattern is grueling. And the field is the toughest around. The U.S. Open is not only a tough condition; it is tough on the body and mental state. Bowlers from all walks of life bowl this event because it is on their bucket list. Some leave enjoying the experience Continued on Page 6 World Bowling Focuses on Olympic Quest Beyond 2020 LAUSANNE, September 28 – Following the announcement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Committee (TOC) this morning, World Bowling is saddened to announce that the sport of bowling has not been recommended for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Over thirty years later, thanks to some extraordinary people, the wrong has, in at least some ways, been righted, though the travesty can never be masked. July 1, 1982. What seemed before to be an unobtainable feat was accomplished. Glenn Allison (La Habra 300 Bowl) bowled the sport’s first sanctioned 900 series, or, at least, what should have been Continued on Page 4 Glenn Allison wearing his ring The DFW branch of the Amateur Bowlers Tour, or ABT as it is known, is the new sponsor of the Live Stream Schedule in The Bowling News. The ABT is a tournament bowling club that was founded in 1977 in Southern, CA. In the last 38 years they have become the largest organized club in the country, one that has paid out over $134,000,000, even more than the PBA has. The DFW branch started up two years ago, with Regional Director Andrew Cohen coming onboard not long after creation. In that short time, they have hosted over 60 tournaments and awarded $161,000 in prize fund money. Continued on Page 5 Page 2 | Thursday, October 1, 2015 | THE BOWLING NEWS Just Paying Attention By Mark London [email protected] The approach is unique. We have seen it enough lately to know there is no question who it is. How, you ask? It’s definitely a 21st century approach with a twist of the torso before the release, but what happens at the very end that gives it away. A hop. The hop. And don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere soon. More on that later. Shawn Maldonado is easily the hottest bowler in the country right now. Competing in the PBA Southwest Region against such familiar names as Wes Malott, Mike Scroggins, Nathan Bohr, and fellow Houstonian D. J. Archer, the 29-year-old Maldonado has done something I can’t recall hearing about in my thirty-plus years of PBA Regional play. Not very often, a player wins three regionals in a row. It’s happened a couple of times, but that’s it. Never can anyone remember four wins in a row, until now. With several clutch games in match play, Maldo won his seventh career regional title, the PBA Dallas Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeons Southwest Open on September 20. The other three were the three previous Southwest Regionals on August 23, August 30, and September 13. That makes four, alright. But how has he done this? In a JPA interview last Friday prior to the start of the PBA Tomball Southwest Open, Maldonado told me it’s a combination of things. It starts with a passion for the game. “It really started with the 2013 PBA World Series of Bowling, the first national stops I bowled. I knew right there that my level of play had to change. I wanted to get to that higher level so bad, I was going to put into whatever I kind of work needed to get there. I’d always worked out and worked on my game, but this was different, I worked even harder. The feelings I had were much stronger. I always had a passion for bowling, but now that I was on a professional level, bowling against the best guys in the world, I wanted to get better that much more. That paid off at the following World Series of Bowling in 2014 with finishing ninth in the World Championships and a fifth place finish making my first TV finals in Japan,” Maldonado said. It was at that finals (2015 DHC PBA Japan Invitational) on PBA XtraFrame he dis- BUY - SELL AMF - BRUNSWICK EQUIPMENT - COMPLETE PACKAGES WORLD’S LARGEST NEW - USED SPARE PARTS INVENTORY ALL AMF BUMPER PARTS: XS QBUMP, DURABOWL AND GEN II IN STOCK Tucker Bowling Equipment Co. 609 N.E. 3rd St. Tulia, Texas 79088 Call (806) 995-4018 Fax (806) 995-4767 Bowling Parts, Inc.

It was the feeling of extreme accomplishment, something he craved and wanted to not only make another show, but to win against the best in the world. “It felt great and wanted to go back. It was like my drug, I had to get back in that top five category. So I worked even harder, had my ups and downs in the Roth/Holman Doubles in Milwaukee, USBC Masters, and the Tournament of Champions, but I really didn’t get down on myself. By that statement alone, he has avoided a common pitfall among tour bowlers, especially newer players. Maldonaldo explains further. “I don’t get down on these things, I just sit down and figure out what I need to make myself better whether it be mentally, physically, or both. I like to analyze what it’s going to take to get me to that next level.” Although he says he didn’t do well individually in the Roth/Holman Doubles, but his partner, DJ Archer sure did. They each made another TV finals appearance in their young tour careers, finishing fifth. “DJ bowled incredible that week, I was basically on his back the whole time. All I could do was get to the pocket and hope I didn’t drive him down,” Maldonado added. Another confidence boost came in the PBA Summer Swing Badger Open. After getting helpful advice from Storm/Roto Grip Del Ballard, Maldonado rolled back-to-back 240’s in the final two games to make yet another show. He gave Walter Ray Williams, Jr. all he could handle before falling 232-223. Despite that loss, the confidence kept building as whatever shots needed to be made, whatever score needed to be posted, he would do it. That premise started to play out in this record winning streak. Also keep in mind, he is not running away with leads deep into Sunday match play. He trailed Nathan Bohr before finally catching him in the position round match to defend his title in the PBA Greenville Southwest Open, presented by DV8. Maldo had to defeat Wes Malott, Chris Barnes, and DJ Archer before winning the PBA Grand Hotel, Casino, & Resort Southwest Invitational for win #2. He got by Dino Castillo by 81 pins for the third win, the PBA McAlester, OK Southwest Open, presented by Columbia 300, another as defending champion. Before the fourth tournament, the PBA Dallas Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeons Southwest Open, Malott told him he had bad news for Maldo. “I kinda know what he was going at, but thought it may have been they couldn’t bowl the Longview Doubles tournament anymore. That wasn’t it. I was humming and hawing, then said, I’m not winning this one. “Nope,”said Malott, “you’re finishing second at this one, “Maldonado explained. They traded the lead during match play before Malott pulled ahead by nearly 200 pins. Then a couple of bad games shrank the lead to 38 pins. A big game in the next to last match increased the lead to 138. Returning to a pair he shot a 180 game earlier, the position round match was a pure grind for him, shooting 210. Malott shot 279 and even with the bonus pins, it was not enough to stop the fourth win. They did finish one-two, but not in the order Malott had predicted. He analyzes his own game, but not during competition. That happens off the lanes. He knows his own game well enough to possess a problemsolving method that is firing on all cylinders right now. And the distinctive hop after the release? Not going away anytime soon. He’s tried throwing without it and the carry percentage drops. But it was an observation during a match with Chris Barnes that gives us a little more insight into this streak.

Maldonado led Saturday’s 10 games of qualifying and won his first two matches of the 16game round robin finals before faltering, losing his next three games. Castillo and Malott took turns at the top of the leader board before Maldonado pulled comfortably ahead of Malott by winning 9 of his final 11 matches. Malott won the final game position round match, 279-218, to narrow Maldonado’s final margin of victory to 38 pins and to stay ahead of Scroggins and Castillo. Maldonado earned $5,000 with the victory, Malott collected $2,800 for second, Scroggins $2,000 for third and Castillo $1,500 for fourth.

Due to what the American Bowling Congress (ABC) deemed as unfit conditions, Allison’s perfect series was not certified. What should have been forever recorded in the annals of bowling history was, in the ABC’s mind, voided. Over the course of the past thirty plus years, many attempts have been made to get Allison’s 900 series recognized. According to Andrea GageWerren, General Manager of La Habra 300 Bowl, and the lead person behind Allison’s 900 series ring presentation, these attempts have been made as recently as 2013. All of which, though, have been to no avail; the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), formerly ABC, refuses to budge. It was recently after the USBC’s decision to uphold its ruling on Allison that Gage-Werren first started looking into personalized 900 rings for Allison. According to Gage-Werren, though, the USBC was not happy with that. Eventually, after removing the USBC logo and replacing it with a La Habra 300 Bowl logo, the company began designing Allison’s ring, a process that Gage-Werren says took several months. The 900 ring presented by La Habra 300 Bowl to Glenn on September 3rd. When asked why she felt obligated to have this ring designed for Allison, GageWerren said that, to her, it’s not an obligation, but, rather, an honor. “I just feel that he is responsible for so much of La Habra 300 Bowl’s history,” says Close-up of Glenn Allison’s Ring Glenn Allison’s 900 Ball Gage-Werren, “and he continues to do so much for this bowling alley...it was really an honor for me to be able to give him the ring he deserved.” Though she admits that it was an honor to be the one who had the opportunity to present Allison his ring, Gage-Werren states that, in her opinion, it should have been done by the USBC over thirty years ago. “The majority of the bowling world supports his (Allison’s) 900 as the first one,” says Gage-Werren, “and I can tell you that I am not the first one to offer such a thing (honoring Allison’s feat in some way).” While what Gage-Werren and La Habra 300 Bowl did for Allison does not make up for the ABC/USBC’s decision, there is no denying that their amazingly generous act is a major step in the right direction and the selfless act that they have done is something to be admired.

So many pros have come out of this area. We’re fortunate to have wonderful GM’s that provide their centers, and the USBC has been very helpful too,” said Cohen. The ABT has two membership levels, Standard and Gold, with Gold providing the lowest per squad entry fee. The tournaments handicap structure is 70% of 225, with the maximum handicap of 52 pins. So far this year, they have hosted 30 tournaments, with the next two tournaments being held at the ITRC in Arlington on November 1st and December 5th. The cool thing about those two events is that they are being filmed and live-streamed by ReeInvent Films, which also made the cult bowling comedy, “We’ve Got Balls” which was released earlier this year. ABT also hosts several national tournaments each year with prize funds that range from $30,000 - $100,000. Truly great money for their members. “We try to give the bowlers what they want and are completely transparent which they appreciate,” added Cohen. “One added bonus is awarding a JUST PAYING ATTENTION Continued from Page 2 Bowling on the Cheetah pattern, Barnes was playing outside. Maldonaldo was slow hooking the lane with better carry. Barnes was threading the needle like he does, but not carrying well. “Better ball motion beats better shotmakers. If he had better ball motion, he would kill me. But in this match, my look was nice,” Maldonado said. He didn’t lead qualifying in Tomball this weekend, but is second while averaging a shade over 240 for eight games on the PBA Regional 47-foot Scorpion pattern. Maldonado finished 5th and Mike Bailey took the title. Detailed results will be in next week’s paper. dye-sub shirt, the same ones the pros wear, to each winner.” Each winner is also entered into the season ending Tournament of Champions event at Forum Bowl where they will go up against last year’s champion, James Simmons Jr., and the chance at $3,500 first place prize.

That should make the scores very competitive. I spoke with Kirk Von Krueger, Director of PBA, as to what his thoughts were on the upcoming event. “I am very excited to watch the event. The PBA or USBC haven’t used the dress lanes once a day and bowl 3 squads in over 20+ years. If USBC uses the old school philosophy of not revealing the pattern until practice day, it will definitely test the bowler’s ability. I am just excited the U.S. Open is back!” I’m very excited about bowling the U.S. Open again. It is definitely a true testament to bowling. Winning this event really means something to the bowler. You really are a proven champion if you win this prestigious event. Winning means the most, but finishing with your head up high overcomes any adversity. In the upcoming weeks, I will be spotlighting bowlers competing in the event. I will introduce the Best of the Best of the Best, top lefties, GOATs (greatest of all time), top locals and even the 2-handed regime. I will then handicap the field leading right up to the event.

Rick Irvine is one very excited coach. After many conversations with school administrators, and just a little bit of luck, Irvine has brought high school bowling to the rapidly-growing Frisco ISD. He will be the Head Coach at Centennial High School, the first high school in Frisco to have a bowling program. “We have a bunch of kids in our youth program here at Strikz that are very talented and deserve a place to showcase their talent,” said Irvine. Frisco plans to have three of their eight schools participate in high school bowling this year, Centennial, Heritage and Lone Star, but student-athletes from other schools are able to join the teams as this is a co-op sport. “I’m hoping that we get great participation and the other schools get the bowling bug,” he added. “Strikz has really opened their doors to high school bowling and youth programs over the last couple of years Dallas USBC Youth Scores T J Noggle dominated the Dallas-area USBC youth bowling last week with a hard-hitting 196225-205 = 626 Sunday Youth/ Adult series at Plano Super Bowl.

The Ballards are on a mission to continue growing the sport and one of the things they are focused on is teaching the sport to those that teach others, specifically, coaching coaches. “One of the biggest factors in owning the pro shops is that we have a lot more freedom to do bowling education. One of those avenues is providing coaching help to high school coaches. The companies that sponsor us, Dexter, Turbo and Storm/Roto Grip are heavily involved in coaching, so we get great support from them as well,” added Carolyn.
