Banquet!
Don't forget -- Our banquet is next Friday April 13 at Atlantis
restaurant. See the banquet information
page for details and a map. If you have any issues or questions about
league rules, there will be a "business" portion of the evening
where you can address anything you'd like to see changed for next year. Next
Season
We've already signed our contract with Plaza Lanes for the 2007-2008
season – same night, same time, same number of weeks (28). Of course
we'd like to see all bowlers return for next season, and even fill out
that 10th spot in the league. Team captains, it's never too soon to
plan your team for this fall, or to confirm your return with the league
secretary.

Week 27 – March 28, 2007
Week 28 Lane Assignments
Lane assignments for this week are manually assigned and are not printed
on any standings sheet. Lanes to use and team pairings are printed on the
tournament bracket form we will be using for that night's games. This
bracket form is available on the Week 28
information page.
Week 27 Doubles Results
Congrats go out to Sue Bushway and Chris Vance for bowling a combined 160
pins over average!! Full scoring results are now posted on the Week
27 doubles event page. Doubles Night Roll-Off Between 1st
and 2nd Half Winners
Here for the Beer and Alley Oops were paired on Lanes 19-20 to vie for the
Overall Season Champ. Here For The Beer took 2 games and totals, and
therefore are the season champs. **This is NOT to be confused
with the overall winner for points in the position standings! It
just so happens the same 2 teams had been tied for points in the overall
season standings, counting only Weeks 1-26. USBC Rule #113b dictates that
such a tie be determined by an additional playoff series of games. The
tiebreaker games will be played Saturday March 31 at 1:30pm.
USBC Achievement Awards
Renee Bugosh earned a 75
pins over average patch for her Game 2 score of 219.

"Pink
Ladies" Return to the Detroit Women's Tournament
You are all invited to
come out Saturday April 21 at 1pm to Shore Lanes in Saint Clair Shores to
give moral support to and drink beer with our Pink Ladies tournament
team! This year's Pink Ladies squad is Denise Goldie ("Frenchie"),
Denise Dunn ("Cha Cha"), Jill Conway, Nancy Telling
("Winnie"), and Sue Hodor ("Suzy-Q"). Jill is taking
over Kathy Wyrwas's ("Rizzo") spot since she can't bowl due to
her recently broken arm.
This event is the first
annual running of this tournament under the new Metro Detroit USBC
organization, and would have been the 81st Annual under the now-defunct
DWBA. Shore Lanes is located at 31100 Harper Avenue in St Clair Shores,
just south of 13 Mile Rd.

Week 25 – March 14, 2007

points at the end of the night will be the winner of the 2nd half, and
will face 1st half winners Here For The Beer the following week for a
roll-off and doubles tournament.

"Bowl For The Cure" Season is Upon Us
|
|
Fact: One woman is diagnosed with breast cancer
every three minutes. Is it someone you know? |
The USBC is continuing the tradition of supporting the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation, with its Bowl For The Cure (BFTC) program.
It's now a year-round effort as well, instead of being limited to the
February/March timeframe. Special branded merchandise is available on the
BFTC section of bowl.com. League members in the past have also solicited
per-pin donations for games bowled on a given date. If
you are interested in participating and getting sponsors let me know and I
will get the necessary sign-up sheets and receipts.
USBC Achievement Awards
No new awards earned this week. But, a batch of goodies from previously
earned awards has arrived and will be handed out next bowling night!
Doin' the Splits
Kathy Wyrwas made the 2-7.

Week 16 – January 10, 2007
Week 15 Scoring Correction
I regret to admit there was a scoring error made in Week 15. Yours truly
was transcribing scores on Week 15, wrote one down incorrectly, somehow
did not record totals for that game... The sheet got reviewed and signed
off -- then when I went to enter the scores into our software the other
day I found this error. It was Kevin's Game 3 score. The score written
down (118) just was not in line with what that bowler normally scores, so
I called him to ask. No, he did not bowl 118. I confirm his actual score
from him and his teammates, and with their Week 15 opponents, and have now
posted the corrected score reports. Sorry for any confusion. And
see why it is important to always have someone else double-check the score
sheets...???!!! Don't be afraid to ask a question if you see something
that does not make sense or is missing!
Annual Meeting of the Metro Detroit USBC Association
Just a reminder - it's this Sunday January 14. Read the details below
under Week 15.
Computer Scoring Reminder!
Plaza Lanes is not responsible for the accuracy of averages or handicaps that are prefilled on the scoring computers each week. Please check your data before you start to bowl, to avoid a difference between the scoreboard and what is printed on the score sheets each week - and therefore preventing any misunderstanding of your results.
USBC Achievement Awards
No awards earned this week. But just wanted to mention that all awards
earned to date have been turned into the MDUSBC office. If you have
recently earned an award but have not received your goodies yet (they are
mailed to the secretary, who will get them to you at bowling), they are in
process and you should see them in a couple of weeks!
Doin' The Splits
John Oliverio made the 3-7 and the 5-7.

2007 MDUSBC Women's
Tournament This
would have been the 81st Annual DWBA Detroit City Tournament -- but since
the DWBA no longer exists, the numbering has stopped. In any case, this is
the women's tournament in which our Pink Ladies team has participated in
the last several years. The Pink Ladies (Kathy "Rizzo", Denise D
"Cha Cha", Denise G "Frenchie", Nancy
"Winnie", and Sue H "Suzy-Q") are again
participating. Any other ladies out there interested in fielding a
team for this event? This
year, it is being held at Shore Lanes in St Clair Shores (Harper Ave just
south of 13 Mile Rd) and is $20 per bowler to enter. Bowling dates to pick
from are March 24, 25, 31, and April 1, 14, 15, 21, 22, either 9am or 1pm
each date. The entry form is available at Plaza Lanes and on the
MDUSBC web site. 2007 MDUSBC
Mixed Open Tournament New
this year is a tournament for mixed teams. It is happening the exact same
weekends as the Women's Championship (March 24, 25, 31, and April 1, 14,
15, 21, 22), but at a different venue. This one is at Century Bowl in
Waterford and is $25 per bowler. There do not seem to be average Divisions
as there are for the Women's tourney, so you would be bowling against
everyone of all ability levels. The entry form is available on the
MDUSBC web site. USBC Achievement Awards
Denise Goldie earned 2 awards: a 200-249 game
patch for her Game 3 score of 234, and a 100-pins
over average game award (which is a watch), again for her Game 3 score
of 234.
Chris Vance also earned a 200-249 game
patch for his Game 3 score of 211.
Congratulations!

Bowling days and days off are listed in several places on this web site:
the lane assignments page, the standings sheet page, and each week's
standing sheet also includes a look ahead at the next two dates. There is
no reason NOT to know when we have a week off or have a special
event. If any of your teammates do not have internet access to be
able to read this site for themselves, please help them out. Print out the
lane assignments sheet for them. Print out the news page for them. Let
them know our days off, when we have special events coming up, etc. Team
captains should make sure all their team members are kept informed. If you
are reading this newsletter, you are one of the very few who do. Thank
you.
Reminder: Holiday Bowling Schedule
We are OFF December 27. We are back
on January 3. Any questions, refer to the Lane
Assignments page or the standings
sheet page.
Start of the Second Half
Team points started over at zero tonight, so that second half standings
are earned separately from the first half. The "season high"
scores continue to accrue.
USBC Achievement Awards
Renee Bugosh earned a pair of awards tonight. Her Game 2 score of 202 gets
her a 200-249 game
