Best Tournaments In The Bay Area
Only 3 spots left for Bowl Bay Area’s 1st Mixed Doubles Event
25 teams have signed up for Bowl Bay Area’s 1st Mixed Doubles event at Albany Bowl on July 18th. This leaves room for just 5 more teams to enter the 11:00 A.M. 5-game tournament.
Teams can enter the scratch division, the handicap division, or both divisions. Handicap is calculated on an individual basis of 90% of 220. An email to bowl857@comcast.net can get you one of those 3 remaining spots.
_________________________________________
Bowlbayarea.com will now start adding bonus pins for non-cashers in its 20 Max, and in the handicap portions of the Women’s, Senior’s, & “Triangle” events.
Every time a bowler does not cash, they will receive 3 bonus pins per game in addition to whatever handicap the player receives. The bonus pins will also be added into all optional events; like brackets & sidepots. Once a player cashes, the bonus pins will reset to zero. Also, when a player wins an event, they will receive 3 less pins of handicap in their next tournament.
The bonus pins will be separate for each type of event and will not carryover from division to division. The bonus pins will be retroactive to January 1, 2010 with a maximum of 6 pins being awarded.
The bonus pins program will begin with the 20 Max tournament at Clayton Valley Bowl on June 26, 2010.

Bowl Bay Area’s next Women’s Singles event will be held on Saturday July 31 @ the Hillman’s Cloverleaf Family Bowl in Fremont. This 5-gamer will have a 1:00 P.M. start time.
This will be our second trip to the “Leaf”. Back in February, a fantastic turnout of 55 players came out for our second women’s event ever. Linda Randall was the winner of the handicap division that day for $300 & Roxanna Horton took the scratch division and won $380.
We already have 15 signed up now, so I think we’ll have a good turnout in what is a very popular tournament center. I don’t think we have a limit on entries, but signing up in advance will assure your spot.
The scratch division has a $55 entry, the handicap division is $45, & players can enter both divisions for $85. <<tournament flyer>>
