This years event, the 33rd Annual, really was super. Everyone seemed to be having a pretty good time - bowling well or not. Anyway, it is now over -- except for the payoffs. I just need to do that and get pictures. Coming soon!
PAYOFF was WED., 5/18/11, IN THE LOUNGE AT 7:00PM. 1st Place winners - please come in and get your picture taken! Anyone else that has money coming, and did not receive it, please come in ASAP to pick up your envelope.
Just a note about the Champion of Champions Tournament that Airway Lanes hosts, for 33 years now. The Tournament is open to the top five teams in each certified league. The entry fee is only $30, and if at least 2 teams have paid entries, Airway will pay the way for the first place team.
Rule change for 2009. Any league with more than 16 teams gets one extra entry for each 8 teams (or any part of 8). This is because of league consolidations.
If you do the math, you will quickly notice that with approximately 60 entries, at $30 each, the Tournament entry fee income is only about $1800. Airway funds the rest so that the total Tournament payoff is in the $10,000 to $12,000 range every year. On top of that, for the last 8 events, EVERY team has cashed for an amount equal to the entry fee. That means that the absolute worst you can do is break even. When was the last time you were in ANY sporting event and were guaranteed to get back your entry fee? On top of that, you get that prize money back WHILE YOU ARE BOWLING. Try that anywhere else!!
There will be pictures of the prize winners coming soon.

This years Singles winners were paced by Mike Caples. Mike had a very fine 801 series in the competiton, and did it in a very unusual way. He "Step Laddered" it. He shot, in order, games of 266, 267 and 268. Mike was competing on two different pairs of lanes that night (allowed under the rules). On the other pair, he rolled a 711 series. Admirable in its own right, also, but earning another USBC award for a 237 Triplicate at the same time. An excellent performance, averaging 252 on the night.
