The MCBA tournament season has
officially begun, starting it off with the Hal Ross Doubles held at Laverendrye
Salle de Quilles. A huge thank you to
our sponsors, Chez Cora and Laverendrye Salle de Quilles, without who we would
not be able to give out the prize money we do.
For those who were able, we enjoyed a very delightful breakfast at Chez
Cora before starting a very long day.
After a few years of depleted
teams, we decided to change the format. We
decided to try cutting the field to a maximum of 24 teams, causing us to
completely revamp the tournament. And
lucky for us we ended up with 21 teams, causing only three John Does to be
needed. It worked out well, all John
Does being knocked out by the end of round two.
We were fortunate to see a total
of seven youth bowlers participating this year.
Congratulations to all the youth bowlers who came out to bowl. A couple decided to take a scholarship while
a few took cash. Ever since the Canadian
Tenpin Federation took away Rule 19, participation has improved significantly
and the youth are showing the adults just what they can do.
There were quite a few close
games this year, which was a great thing to see. Joseph Franchewski and Liam Naylor knocked
Michael Schmidt and Jon Domingo onto the B-Side after a close match. The two duos would later meet
in the semi-finals, but unfortunately Mike and Jon were better prepared beating
Joe and Liam, knocking them out of the tournament. Joe and
Liam finished third.
Austyn Ducharme and his partner
Ryan Kruk came down to the final frame to Lynne Gauthier and Sharon Tataryn,
only falling one pin behind. Austyn and
Ryan finished 5th Good bowling Austyn and Ryan!
Lynne and Sharon went undefeated
on the A-Side, meeting Mike and Jon in the finals. After two matches, since the A-Side winners
need to be beaten twice, Mike and Jon walked away with first place. This is a first even win for doubles partners
Mike and Jon, finishing second, third and fourth together in the Hal Ross in
previous years.
