Track 811A Special Edition Available In December

Track’s intent for the all new 811A Special Edition is to be a stronger version of the 607A SE. Starting with an all new core the “Legion 2 Turbo”, the core started out as a symmetric core shape and then was modified into an asymmetric core to get the specific RG, Differential and mass bias numbers saught. With the Mass Bias being 0.011, it is set up to give the most angular backend reaction for the widest style of bowlers.

As for the all new “SE8 GEN1” coverstock in Black/Red/Blue, (finished 500, 1000, 2000 Abralon ®, and Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish), Track has developed an all new performance pearl additive “Crystalline Mica”. This additive is 15% more responsive off the dry than what was used in the 607A SE. Look for the Track 811A Special Edition December 8th, 2011.

PBA To Scrap "Exempt Tour" Concept

The constantly changing climate in the world of professional sports has prompted the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) to return to a competitive environment that will re-open the doors to its national tour to all aspiring professional bowlers.

Changes in competition rules, announced to the PBA membership at the start of the PBA World Series of Bowling, will mean the end of the “exempt tour” concept the PBA has employed since the 2004-05 season and a return to a “non-exempt” Tour program for the 2012-13 season.

“Over the past few years the definition of an PBA Exempt Tour player has changed fairly dramatically,” said PBA Commissioner Tom Clark. “For the current season, the number of exempt players was reduced from an original field of 57 to 49 with only two events (Carmen Salvino Classic and the Pepsi PBA Elite Players Championship) that fit the traditional Exempt Tour model.

“With the goal of setting the PBA on a new trajectory, following discussions with many players and industry leaders, the PBA is announcing a rules change that eliminates the Exempt Player designation beginning next season. All tournaments during the 2012-13 season will be open to all players – as most of them have been the past two years – with the PBA Tournament of Champions and the new PBA Elite Players Championship being the exceptions.”

While competing to earn Exempt Player status is no longer an incentive, earning a high position in the PBA competition points list during the 2011-12 season will still be extremely important. Competition points will determine which players are eligible for the season-ending Dick Weber PBA Playoffs and will also be a major factor in determining the field for the PBA Elite Players Championship, which will consist of players who have won major titles in the two most recent seasons plus players who rank high on the previous season’s points list to round out an exclusive field of 36.

“We have changed the name of this year's Pepsi PBA Exempt Players Championship – which will be part of the PBA World Series of Bowling currently underway in Las Vegas – to reflect the changes. The event will now be named the Pepsi PBA Elite Players Championship, launching a new Elite Players Championship tradition,” Clark said, “and every player in the Pepsi PBA Elite Players Championship will cash.”

In conjunction with the rules changes, the PBA will revive the former Touring 1 and Touring 2 classifications which identified players by the number of events they entered. Those classifications will include specific membership benefits and exposure similar to the Exempt Tour model.

Touring 1 status will be earned by players who bowl 80 percent of the PBA Tour events, including the World Series of Bowling, two additional majors and three Xtra Frame Tour events. Touring 2 status will be earned by those who bowl 60 percent of the Tour schedule including the World Series, one major and one Xtra Frame Tour event. Players also must maintain a minimum average of 190 in PBA Tour competition to retain their eligibility for the following season. 

“We hope the rule change concerning the dissolution of the Exempt Player designation and continued focus on the value of the PBA Tour point list will give more opportunities for players to grow as top PBA players and remove any confusion over what being exempt entails,” Clark concluded. “While elite status may be awarded to fewer players, the rewards for achieving that status will have greater value than it has in the past.”

Turbo Bowling Accessories has renewed their sponsorship for the 2012 Military Bowling Championships to be held January 15-19 in Las Vegas.

Rash Sweeps to Five Finals at The World Series of Bowling

Sean Rash of suburban Chicago (Montgomery, IL), completed the most impressive five-day run in the three-year history of the Professional Bowlers Association’s World Series of Bowling Wednesday, earning the top qualifying position for the PBA World Championship and earning an unprecedented fifth consecutive television finals berth. 

Rash, a 29-year-old four-time PBA Tour champion, averaged 234.03 over 40 games bowled on five different lane conditioning patterns at South Point Bowling Center to finish with 9,361 pins and earn a $5,000 bonus as top qualifier by 296 pins over Tom Smallwood of Saginaw, MI.

“I’ve got my foot down and going full force,” Rash said. “There are so many great players here, you can’t let up. If you think positive, positive things will happen. You need to avoid the negativity. With this (40-game) format, you have to have that mindset.”

Rash, who qualified for the Bayer Viper, Chameleon, Scorpion and GEICO Shark Open finals the previous four days, is the first player to reach more than three television finals in a World Series. He will be among the 16 players who now advance to a series of four divisional elimination rounds in determining the PBA World Championship winner.

In each divisional final, named in honor of past PBA World Champions Don Carter, Billy Hardwick, Johnny Petraglia and Mike Aulby, four players will bowl one game with the lowest-scoring player eliminated. The three surviving players will bowl a second game, again eliminating the low score. The two survivors will then bowl a game to decide who advances to the PBA World Championship finals which will follow the same format.

All five PBA World Championship rounds will be contested on Saturday, Nov. 19, in a special arena lanes setup at South Point, starting at 10:30 a.m. PT. The telecasts will air on ESPN on five consecutive Sundays except Christmas Day (Dec. 11, 18, Jan. 1, 8 and 15) at 1 p.m. ET.

First prize in the 2011 PBA World Championship is $50,000.

The World Series of Bowling will take a break Thursday. Competition resumes Friday with the All Region South Point Open and Carmen Salvino Classic Tour Qualifying Round, followed by a special PBA West Region Member/Non-Member Doubles event Saturday afternoon and Sunday. 

Competition for PBA Tour players resumes Monday with Carmen Salvino Classic qualifying rounds.

All preliminary rounds of World Series competition are being webcast live on PBA’s Xtra Frame online bowling channel. To subscribe, visit pba.com and click on the Xtra Frame logo.

Rash Dominates World Series of Bowling Qualifying

Sean Rash of suburban Chicago (Montgomery, IL), dominated the first 32 games of the PBA World Series of Bowling and will lead the field of 53 survivors into the cashers’ round of the PBA World Championship, the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA)’s first major championship of the 2011-12 season, Wednesday at South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas, NV.

Rash, a 29-year-old four-time PBA Tour title winner, averaged 239.81 over four eight-game rounds on the PBA’s Viper, Chameleon, Scorpion and Shark lane conditioning patterns for a total of 7,674 pins and a 314-pin lead over Australia’s Jason Belmonte. Rash, who has already qualified among the top four for the ESPN television finals in the Bayer Viper, Chameleon and Scorpion Open events, ranked second in the Shark field heading into Tuesday night’s final six qualifying games, and needs to remain among the top 16 after Wednesday’s final eight-game round of PBA World Championship qualifying to advance to an unprecedented five consecutive World Series of Bowling telecasts.

Defending PBA World Champion Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, also advanced to the cashers’ round, sitting in 12th place after 32 games.

Following Wednesday morning’s final round, the top qualifier will earn a $5,000 bonus and the top 16 will advance to a series of divisional elimination rounds named in honor of past PBA World Champions Don Carter, Billy Hardwick, Johnny Petraglia and Mike Aulby. In each divisional final, the highest of four seeded player (based on their qualifying totals) will select the lane condition and all four will bowl one game with the lowest-scoring player eliminated. The three surviving players will bowl a second game, again eliminating the low score. The two survivors will then bowl a game to decide who advances to the PBA World Championship finals which will follow the same format.

 

All five PBA World Championship rounds will be contested on Saturday, Nov. 19, in a special arena lanes setup at South Point. The telecasts will air on ESPN on five consecutive Sundays except Christmas Day (Dec. 11, 18, Jan. 1, 8 and 15) at 1 p.m. ET.

Wednesday’s cashers’ round (and all other World Series preliminaries) will be webcast live on pba.com’s exclusive online bowling channel, Xtra Frame. Special one-day and World Series of Bowling subscription packages are available on pba.com.

First prize in the 2011 PBA World Championship will be $50,000. If reigning PBA Player of the Year Mika Koivuniemi or 13-time PBA Tour titlist Tommy Jones should happen to win the event, the PBA Triple Crown club will have its seventh member.

Rash Makes Fourth World Series of Bowling Finals

Bowling fans will be seeing a lot of four-time PBA Tour champion Sean Rash on ESPN this season.

Rash continued his unprecedented PBA World Series of Bowling streak Tuesday, 
qualifying for his fourth consecutive television final at South Point Bowling 
Center. With his third-place finish in the GEICO Shark Open, the  suburban Chicago
resident (Montgomery, IL,) has qualified for the ESPN-televised finals in all four animal 
pattern tournaments - Bayer Viper Open, Chameleon Open, Scorpion Open and the 
Shark Open.

Rash finished the tournament with a 3,238 14-game pinfall (231.3 average) and 
had games of 243, 222, 209, 230, 214 and 247 in Tuesday’s six-game final round 
to secure his berth in the TV finals.

“I have everything working together right now,” Rash said. “Physically and mentally I’m in the right place and I've got great equipment.”

Asked about the challenge of competing on four different conditions over four days, Rash said it’s all in the preparation.

“Every day is a different day and having a game plan for each day really becomes 
important in the World Series,” he said. “That’s going to help put yourself in a 
position to win and it has worked great so far.”

Thirteen-time Tour champion and defending PBA World Championship winner Chris 
Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, led the Shark qualifying and will be making his 
first World Series television final after posting a 3,297 pinfall total (235.5 
average).  He had games of 226, 290, 268, 176, 227 and 268 Tuesday night.

“I really haven’t been bowling up to expectations,” Barnes said. “I’ve been way 
off the pace and need to get out of the block much better. It was important for 
me to make this show and get some momentum going into the last round of the 
World Championship.”

Also making the Shark Open finals were Australian two-hander Jason Belmonte, who finished second with a 3,251 pinfall, making his  
second television final and reigning PBA Player of the Year Mika Koivuniemi of Hartland, MI, who finished fourth with 3,190 pins
to make his first final. The Shark Open finals will be taped by ESPN on Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. PT.

The World Series of Bowling is webcast live on pba.com’s exclusive online bowling channel, Xtra Frame. Special one-day and  

World Series of Bowling 
subscription packages are available on pba.com.

Scorpion Open Finalists

International players continued to make an impact at 

the World Series of Bowling as Dom Barrett of 

England earned top-qualifier honors in the PBA

Scorpion Open Monday at the South Point Bowling Center.

Barrett bowled a 3,264 14-game pinfall total (233.1 average) with the help of a 

1,453 six-game block on games of 248, 277, 210, 241, 178 and 299 in the final 

round. 

Barrett will be joined by PBA Tour titlist Dave Wodka of Henderson, NV, 

four-time Tour titlist Sean Rash of Montgomery, IL. and 13-time Tour winner 

Patrick Allen of Baltimore in the Scorpion Open ESPN Eliiminator finals which 

will be taped at 6 p.m. PT on Nov. 18.

Barrett, who currently ranks fifth on the European Bowling Tour points list, won 

his first PBA title in a regional tournament in Reno last weekend on his way to 

the World Series.

“I came here to win one of these tournaments,” said Barrett, who is also third 

in PBA World Championship qualifying. “Winning the regional gave me a lot of 

confidence. This is going to be my first (PBA) show and I couldn’t be happier.

“The key to my success so far has been taking advantage of every minute of 

practice time I’ve had since I’ve been here to work on everything from making 

adjustments to selecting the right ball.”

Rash earned his  third straight television final, and fortified his lead after 

24 games of PBA World Championship qualifying.

Rash, who has already qualified for the ESPN televised finals of the Bayer Viper 

Open and Chameleon Open, had a 1,870 eight-game pinfall (233.7 average) in the 

morning qualifying round.

 “Having already made two TV shows helps loosen up your arm swing,” he added. 

“I’ve bowled well in all three World Series events and the All-In Showdown. All 

you ever want to do is give yourself a chance to win. If you give yourself 

enough chances, you’ll win and that’s what I’m trying to do.”

With the conclusion of Monday’s eight-game Scorpion qualifying round, the fourth 

and final animal pattern is tomorrow’s GEICO Shark Open. After the Shark round, 

the top 53 players based on 32 games will advance to Wednesday’s eight-game PBA 

World Championship cashers round. After a total of 40 games, the top 16 players 

will advance to the ESPN-televised elimination finals in the first PBA major 

championship of the season.
