After 5 Rounds, Upsets Pepper the Field Of The PBA Dick Weber Playoffs
Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) record for winning at least one title in a season to 18 years, was among 18 players who advanced to Sunday’s Regional Championships in the Dick Weber PBA Playoffs at Woodland Bowl Friday.
Williams, who owns the PBA Tour record for career titles with 47, finished second in the four-player Central Region, to keep his title hopes alive. The Dick Weber PBA Playoffs is the final tournament of the 2010-11 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour season, which means it’s the last chance for the 51-year-old from Ocala, FL.
The PBA Playoffs is six tournaments-in-one, featuring six regional groups
bowling elimination rounds within their respective regions. Three players of
four players from each Region remain in the hunt after Round Five, but like the
NCAA basketball brackets, upsets took a toll on the inaugural event.
In Round Four, 2011 U.S. Open Norm Duke of Clermont, FL, became the third PBA
Hall of Famer eliminated during Friday’s action. Duke finished sixth in the
South Region, missing the cut to the top four by 24 pins. Among the Tour’s top
six points leaders for 2010-11 who were seeded into the Regions for Round Four,
only Sean Rash of Montgomery, IL, failed to advance when he finished fifth in
the East Region.
In Round Three earlier Friday, where the top five of eight advanced, bowlers
eliminated included Rhino Page of Dade City, FL, who had been the top
qualifier in both previous rounds in the East Region, and Kelly Kulick of Union,
NJ, who finished eighth in the Southwest Region after leading Round One and
finishing fifth in Round Two. PBA Hall of Famers Parker Bohn III of Jackson,
NJ and Tom Baker of King, NC. (South Region), and 2011 Bayer USBC Masters
champion Tom Hess of Urbandale, Iowa (Midwest Region) also failed to survive
Round Three.
In Round Five, Mika Koivuniemi of Hartland, MI, who won the $1 million PBA
Tournament of Champions earlier in the season, but lost the U.S. Open title two
weeks ago when he missed a 10 pin in the 10th frame, kept his hopes alive by
converting the 2-8 in the 10th frame and striking on his fill ball to edge Dan
MacLelland of Saginaw, MI, was three pins for the third spot in the Central
Region. Dick Allen of Columbia, SC, and Williams also advanced.
In the East Region, PBA Rookie of the Year candidate Scott Norton of Costa Mesa,
CA; seven-time PBA Tour champion Steve Jaros of Yorkville, IL, and 2009
PBA World Champion Tom Smallwood of Saginaw, MI, advanced.
In the South Region, 13-time PBA Tour winner Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, SC;
four-time titlist Ryan Shafer of Horseheads, NY, and regional qualifier Randy
Weiss of Columbia, SC, advanced. Weiss has never won a PBA Tour title.
Current season points leader Bill O’Neill of Southampton, PA, moved on with a
second-place finish in the Midwest Region along with six-game leader Jack Jurek
of Lackawanna, NY, and third-place finisher Wes Malott of Pflugerville, TX.
Malott fired a 248 final game to overtake local favorite Ronnie Russell of
Marion, IN, for the final spot in the Midwest.
Chris Barnes of Double Oak, TX, the 2010 PBA World Champion, was second in
the West/Northwest along with Round Five leader Lennie Boresch Jr., Kenosha,
WI, and Lonnie Waliczek, Wichita, KS. Boresch is trying for his first PBA
Tour title. Waliczek, who won both of his titles during the 2002-03 season,
rolled a 248 final game to knock Baltimore’s Danny Wiseman out of the Regional
Championship round.
Advancing in the Southwest Region were Dino Castillo, Carrollton, TX;
Australian two-handed star Jason Belmonte and Brad Angelo, Lockport, NY.
Castillo is trying for his first title. Belmonte and Angelo each have won one
title.
In Sunday’s first Regional Championship at 9 a.m., the three East, South and
Central Region survivors will bowl one game matches with the winner in each
Region advancing to the Conference Championship at 3:30 p.m. In the second
Regional Championship at 1 p.m., the three Midwest, Southwest and West/Northwest
survivors will bowl one-game matches to determine the other three Conference
Championship finalists.
In the Conference Championship, the East Region winner will bowl one game
against the South Region winner, the Central Region winner will bowl against the
Midwest winner, and the Southwest winner will meet the West/Northwest winner.
The Regional Championships will air on ESPN on Sunday, March 27, at 2:30 p.m.,
and Sunday, April 3, at 1 p.m. Eastern, respectively. The Conference
Championship will air on Sunday, April 10, at 1 p.m. Eastern, respectively.
The three Conference Championship winners will return to Indianapolis on Sunday,
April 17, for the final live telecast of the 2010-11 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour
season. In the first match, the three finalists will bowl one game with the
lowest score finishing third. The two survivors will bowl two one-game matches.
If one player wins both, he will win the $50,000 first prize. If they split the
two games, a one-ball roll-off will decide the title.

Dick Weber PBA Playoffs Chock Full of Surprises
In the grand tradition of basketball’s March Madness, the Dick Weber PBA Playoffs staged its own series of dramatic surprises Thursday night at Woodland Bowl.
Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli of Venezuela, who earlier in the day dominated the South Region, was eliminated from the tournament in Round Two when he finished the six-game round in 10th place. The top seven of 10 players in each Region advance to Round Three. Mike Edwards of Tulsa, OK, led the South Region in Round Two with a 1,407 pinfall total.
The Dick Weber PBA Playoffs is six-tournaments-in-one, featuring six independent regional groups bowling elimination rounds within their respective regions. The event is named in honor of the PBA Tour legend who grew up in Indianapolis.
In other Thursday night highlights, Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, FL, the PBA Tour’s all-time titles leader with 47, advanced in the Central Region in second place behind Region leader Dick Allen of Columbia, SC. Williams needs to win the PBA Playoffs, the final event of the 2010-11 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour season, in order to extend his PBA record of winning at least one title per year to 18 years.
Also in the Central Region, Troy Stus of South Lyon, MI, rolled a 224 game to win a one-game roll-off against PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber (197), Dick Weber’s son, and Kenneth Kolberg Jr. (191) of Cleveland, Ohio, after they tied for seventh place. Weber and Kolberg were eliminated from the playoffs.
In the East Region, Rhino Page of Dade City, FL, led his group after both rounds, finishing the second round with 1,421 pins, but 13-time PBA Tour champion Patrick Allen of Wesley Chapel, FL, finished ninth in Round Two and was eliminated after a fourth-place finish earlier in the day.
In the Midwest, Tom Hess of Urbandale, Iowa, who won his first PBA Tour title in the Bayer United States Bowling Congress Masters in February, paced his Region with 1,402 pins, but the drama in Hess’ group came from local favorite Ronnie Russell of Marion, Ind., who was last after two games, but rallied with a 239 final game to earn the sixth of seven spots advancing to Friday’s Round Three.
Eugene McCune of Munster, IN, led the Southwest Region with 1,400 pins after barely sneaking into Round Two. Round One leader Kelly Kulick of Union, NJ, advanced by placing fifth in Round Two.
Baltimore’s Danny Wiseman, a 12-time PBA Tour winner, paced the West/Northwest Region with 1,440 pins.
In Friday’s Round Three, the PBA Tour players who finished seventh through 12th on the 2010-11 points list will be seeded into the competition (Tom Smallwood, Saginaw, MI, in the East; Dan MacLelland, Saginaw, MI, in the Central; Norm Duke, Clermont, FL, in the South; Wes Malott, Pflugerville, TX, in the Midwest; Mike DeVaney, Murrieta, CA, in the Southwest, and Michael Haugen Jr., Carefree, AZ, in the West/Northwest. After six games, the top five out of seven in each Region will advance to Round Four.

Kelly Kulick Tops First Round of PBA Dick Weber Playoffs
Kulick, who won the 2010 PBA Tournament of Champions, averaged 247.2 for 10 games for a 2,472 pinfall total to not only lead the Southwest Region into Thursday’s final five first-round games, but to pace the entire tournament field. Kulick, who was seeded into the Southwest Region after qualifying a disappointing 50th on the 2010-11 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour competition points standings, had 299, 290 and a pair of 278s games Wednesday.
Other regional leaders were Rhino Page of Dade City, FL, the South Region leader with 2,471 pins – one behind Kulick; Lonnie Waliczek of Wichita, KS, in the West/Northwest Region with a 2,358 total; Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas, with a 2,399 total in the Midwest Region; Venezuela’s Amleto Monacelli with a 2,324 total in the South Region, and Billy Oatman of Chicago paced the Central Region with a 2,246 total. Among the six regional leaders, Oatman is the only one without a PBA Tour title.
“I’ve known something was wrong for a while,” Kulick said of her sub-par season. “The (Earl Anthony Memorial) in Dublin (CA) was frustrating, but the eye-opener was last week at the Mark Roth Plastic Ball Championship. It didn’t matter if I was throwing plastic or urethane balls. I was getting the same reactions, so that re-confirmed my problem was physical rather than mechanical to get the ball to do what I wanted it to do.
“My arm swing bumped right at start and went behind my back,” she continued. “My swing plane wasn’t straight, so my hand couldn’t repeat a consistent release. It magnified my misses. With Mike Machuga’s help, I have created a different feel by pushing the ball left in my approach, which makes my swing straighter and my release effortless. And so far it’s working; I’m not trying to over-analyze it. It’s still a long week.”
The PBA playoffs feature six independent regional groups bowling elimination rounds within their respective regions. The first round concludes Thursday morning with a final five-game session. After 15 games, the top nine from each Region will advance to the second round Thursday evening where they will be joined by six Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour players who finished 13th through 18th in 2010-11 competition points (Ronnie Russell, Marion, IN; Pete Weber, St. Ann, MO; Jason Couch, Clermont, FL; Mike Fagan, Patchogue, NY; Scott Norton, Costa Mesa, CA, and Ryan Shafer, Horseheads, NY. Elimination rounds will continue Friday when 12 more seeded Exempt Tour players will enter the competition.
On Sunday, the three survivors in each Region will advance to two Regional Championship and one Conference Championship television shows. The television shows at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Eastern will be taped for delayed telecast on ESPN on Sunday, March 27, at 2:30 p.m.; Sunday, April 3, at 1 p.m. Eastern, and Sunday, April 10, at 1 p.m. Eastern, respectively.
The six Conference Championship survivors will return to Indianapolis on Sunday, April 17, for the final live telecast of the 2010-11 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour season. ESPN will air the finals at 1 p.m. Eastern. First prize in the event is $50,000.
