MANAGER’S MEMO / Ray Brothers

Open Championship entries begin arriving


I hope your holidays were great and Santa brought you everything you wanted. In the office we are just about caught up with everything and are waiting for the mid-season league applications.

Entries for the Open Championship Tournament are starting to be received. I hope all of you enter a team and participate in the other events. At the request of some of the high-average bowlers, the scratch divisions have been enhanced, and the prize money will be doubled.

The singles and doubles squad of April 22 at 9:30 a.m., is full, so please do not ask to bowl at that time. The sooner you send your entry, in the better the chance of getting the times you want.

The team event will be held at Bowl America Shirley, and the doubles and singles will take place at Bowl America Woodbridge. If you have questions, call me at the office or send me an E-mail, and I will give you an answer.

We are collecting for the BVL campaign and ask you to be generous because of all the wounded and maimed service personnel returning from the current wars. If no one has been by your league, call your lane representative and if you don’t have his/her number, contact me, and I will give it to you. If you have access to an average book, most phone numbers are listed there.

If any of you have a rules question, call me, and I will answer it in this column so everyone will know the answer if the same situation occurs in your league.

I hope everyone has a great 2012.
