Top area stars set to invade<br />
Reno for PBA Regional<br />
Players Invitational<br />
RENO, NV — Top players<br />
from the Professional Bowlers<br />
Association’s seven regions<br />
are preparing to invade Reno<br />
for the 40th anniversary PBA<br />
Regional Players Invitational<br />
Dec. 15-17 in pursuit of the<br />
next level in their professional<br />
bowling careers.<br />
At stake in the three-day,<br />
30-game tournament are a<br />
$7,500 first prize, a berth in<br />
the 2010 PBA Tournament of<br />
Champions in Las Vegas and<br />
exemptions to bowl full-time<br />
on the Lumber Liquidators PBA<br />
Tour during the 2010-11 season<br />
for the top seven finishers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament, which was<br />
first held in Cincinnati, OH,<br />
in 1969 – and won by former<br />
Budweisers of St. Louis star<br />
Tom Hennessey, is open to<br />
the top 25 competition points<br />
leaders in each of the PBA’s<br />
seven regions. This will be the<br />
11th consecutive year Reno’s<br />
National <strong>Bowling</strong> Stadium has<br />
hosted the Sands Regency Hotel<br />
Casino-sponsored event.<br />
<strong>The</strong> outcome of the RPI will<br />
be based upon total pinfall<br />
for six games on each of five<br />
Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour<br />
“animal” lane conditioning<br />
patterns – the Cheetah, Viper,<br />
Chameleon, Scorpion and<br />
Shark. Competition begins<br />
on Tuesday, Dec. 15, with the<br />
Cheetah round. <strong>The</strong> Viper<br />
and Chameleon rounds are<br />
scheduled for Wednesday, Dec.<br />
16, and the Scorpion and Shark<br />
rounds will complete the 30game<br />
competition on Thursday,<br />
Dec. 17.<br />
