A feel good story for all of<br />
the bowling community.<br />
By Del Ballard Jr.<br />
Sean Swanson from Springfield<br />
Mo. was lying in bed one<br />
night and felt a lump in his<br />
stomach. When he stood<br />
up, it wasn’t there.<br />
But when he laid<br />
back down he could<br />
feel it again. So he<br />
told his wife Angie,<br />
who is a nurse<br />
supervisor, and<br />
on to the doctors<br />
they went. That was<br />
March 27 2012. <strong>The</strong><br />
doctor felt the mass<br />
and then sent<br />
him to get a<br />
scan. It was<br />
confirmed,<br />
he had a<br />
mass. So the<br />
doctor thought the best course<br />
of action was to remove it<br />
immediately. So they scheduled<br />
surgery on Thursday April 5th.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mass had grown to the size<br />
of a grapefruit and two other<br />
smaller masses were found on<br />
his bowel. <strong>The</strong> mass was sent<br />
to the Mayo clinic for biopsy<br />
where two weeks later it was<br />
diagnosed as Pleomorphic<br />
Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Oncologist and surgeon<br />
recommended he go to M.D.<br />
Anderson Cancer Center in<br />
Houston for a treatment plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were there one day and<br />
their plan was chemotherapy<br />
with no guarantee it would<br />
work. He started chemo July 10.<br />
Now here is why I find this<br />
story so compelling. Remember<br />
the date March 27th? He<br />
continued to bowl during all<br />
this. March 31st he bowled the<br />
Missouri state tournament and<br />
won scratch singles. He was<br />
supposed to bowl in the PBA<br />
Tournament of Champions the<br />
week of April 5th but had the<br />
surgery instead. <strong>The</strong>n before he<br />
started chemo he bowled the<br />
Greater Ozarks tournament and<br />
won the team event. <strong>The</strong>n he<br />
went to Baton Rouge to bowl<br />
the USBC Open Championships,<br />
shot 300 in doubles and<br />
finished fourth along with<br />
shooting 2100 in all events! He<br />
got back July 6th and started<br />
chemo on July 10.<br />
Now I’ve been through a<br />
little bit of this myself and I<br />
know when I was dealing with<br />
my issues and treatments there<br />
wasn’t any way I could have<br />
bowled with all of this on my<br />
mind!<br />
Here’s some Q&A with Sean<br />
on how he has dealt with his<br />
cancer, and continues to fight on.<br />
Del Ballard: Sean how in<br />
the world did you deal with all<br />
of this and put it out of your<br />
mind and still compete at the<br />
level that you did?<br />
Sean Swanson: I can’t<br />
really answer how I put<br />
it out of my head or deal<br />
with the possibility of<br />
life or death during<br />
this. But I can tell<br />
you what I have<br />
around me and<br />
maybe that is the<br />
answer. Obviously<br />
it starts with my<br />
wife Angie. Who<br />
has been incredible<br />
throughout as a wife and<br />
mother since the discovery of<br />
the mass. <strong>The</strong> greatest bonus<br />
is she is a nurse supervisor for<br />
the hospital I attended. With<br />
her knowledge, there never has<br />
been a surprise with what the<br />
doctors might say. She and I<br />
have already discussed what<br />
diagnosis, treatment plan or<br />

Just Paying<br />
Attention By Mark London<br />
Mark@<strong>The</strong><strong>Bowling</strong><strong>News</strong>.net<br />
<strong>The</strong> USBC announced its<br />
Hall of Fame Class of 2013 two<br />
weeks ago, and as promised,<br />
I will now reveal my choices.<br />
Nothing too complex here. All<br />
seven listed are worthy of induction,<br />
I chose Lynda Barnes,<br />
Larry Laub, David Ozio, and<br />
Steve Cook.<br />
Along with Liz Johnson and<br />
Kelly Kulick, Barnes bridges<br />
the gap from the PWBA to<br />
present day with amazing<br />
performances in women’s<br />
events as well as showing the<br />
men a thing or two.<br />
Barnes is one of the trio of<br />
women bowlers whom history<br />
will look back as it does now<br />
on the three named Anthony,<br />
Roth, and Holman. <strong>The</strong>ir impact?<br />
Like many pop culture<br />
contemporaries, you know<br />
them by their first names.<br />
Seriously, Lynda, Liz, and Kelly<br />
could and should have been in<br />
the HoF five years ago. Those<br />
three should just list what they<br />
haven’t accomplished on the<br />
lanes. It’s a much shorter list.<br />
Larry Laub has won in the<br />
70s and 2000s on the PBA<br />
and PBA Senior (now PBA50)<br />
National Tours. Even with his<br />
unique release of quietly laying<br />
the ball onto the lane he made<br />
all the coverstocks work from<br />
rubber to resin.<br />

Steve Cook was the first<br />
successful power lefthander on<br />
tour with 15 wins, six of them<br />
against fellow lefties, with<br />
three of those against some<br />
guy named Earl Anthony. His<br />
crowning moment occurred in<br />
1981 as he joined Don Johnson<br />
as only the second bowler to<br />
take a perfect game to the<br />
tenth frame in the Tournament<br />
of Champions title match.<br />
Why David Ozio is not<br />
already enshrined is a mystery<br />
to me, but the well-practiced<br />
pro from Vidor via Beaumont<br />
amazed us all in a career year<br />
of 1991, snapping off a ToC<br />
crown enroute to PBA Player<br />
of the Year. He set the then<br />
four-game TV scoring record<br />
with a 1,050 while winning the<br />
1995 AMF Dick Weber Classic.<br />
As a senior player, he won the<br />
2004 Senior U.S. Open as well<br />
as PBA<br />
Senior Rookie of the Year.<br />
Unwritten rule or not, age<br />
45 is the final threshold for<br />
those qualified years before. To<br />
me, if one exceeds reasonable<br />
qualifications, like Liz and<br />
Kelly, put them in and let them<br />
enjoy it no matter the age.<br />

FOUNDED AND PUBLISHED BY JOE GENNARO FROM 1956-2009<br />
Former BPAA CEO Don<br />
Harris Passes away at 60<br />
Don Harris, former executive<br />
director of BPAA, passed<br />
away Sunday,<br />
December 23 from<br />
complications<br />
after suffering a<br />
stroke the previous<br />
Tuesday. He was<br />
60.<br />
Don headed the BPAA from<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary 1996 - September 1999<br />
after serving as head of the Na-<br />
to save it. Bob Learn had a<br />
TV 800 series in his 1996 PBA<br />
Flagship Open win games of<br />
300-280-270-279, for an 850 and<br />
1129, setting the current three<br />
and four-game TV records. CBD<br />
has the current consecutive TV<br />
strikes record, 20-in-a-row in<br />
the PBA 2009 Womens Series<br />
Showdown, breaking RobLaw’s<br />
17-bagger mark.<br />
And as promised for those of<br />
you scoring at home, this year’s<br />
target scores were Kelly Kulick<br />
with 743 and Pete Weber 626.<br />
Only Tennelle Milligan had a<br />
higher women’s score of 758 in<br />
2000.<br />
* * * *<br />
Now back to the nuts and<br />
bolts of what this column<br />
is about; media coverage.<br />
For the ESPN PBA telecasts,<br />
Lon McEachern is no doubt<br />
prepared, but seems not as<br />
familiar with the game. Not<br />
like everyone aspires to be a<br />
bowling announcer, but as one<br />
with experience, it sounds like<br />
me describing poker. But it is,<br />
however, only after three TV<br />
shows. My guess is he’s trying<br />
to refine his comments while<br />
getting more comfortable with<br />
Randy Pedersen’s style. More<br />
on that later.<br />
* * * *<br />
Even with Jack Black talking<br />
about a bowling-themed<br />
movie that is not the only one<br />
currently in production. In and<br />
around Louisville, Kentucky<br />
filming is wrapping up on a<br />
film called, “Splits.”<br />
According to the production<br />
teams’ website, VSM Entertainment,<br />
“Splits is a fun, PG-13<br />
comedy in the style of Caddyshack<br />
or Dodgeball, where<br />
a group of friends compete in<br />
the Lebowskifest Championship<br />
bowling tournament.” Pretty<br />
tall task to include topics and<br />
concepts from all three of those<br />
laughfests. No word when the<br />
film is due to hit a multiplex<br />
near you. We’ll keep you<br />
posted.<br />

Karin Ciesiolka<br />
Last month’s high female<br />
was Karin Ciesiolka with a<br />
256-288-257 for an 802 series<br />
in the Friday’s Best league at<br />
Hallmark Lanes in Killeen, TX.<br />
Karin is the Promotions Director<br />
at Hallmark Lanes. Her two<br />
daughters, Sierra and Shyanne<br />
are both fulltime bowlers along<br />
with husband John. Karin is<br />
also the bowling coach for the<br />
Ellison Eagles high school team<br />
who won the Girls the state<br />
championship in 2010.<br />
What is your high series?<br />
812, I’ve bowled five 800’s.<br />
How many 300’s have you<br />
bowled? 6<br />
Thoughts on your big night?<br />
I knew what I needed the last<br />
game to shoot 800, and I just<br />
tried to make the best shot I<br />
could to get there. My confidence<br />
level has been higher<br />
this year. I made some adjustments<br />
to my span and got a<br />
ball that reacted better down<br />
the lane, and now I feel back to<br />
where I should be.<br />
What ball did you throw?<br />
<strong>The</strong> DV8 Hell Raiser.<br />
What is your all-time favorite<br />
bowling ball? I don’t really have<br />
a favorite; it’s just whatever<br />
feels the best and rolls the best<br />
at the time.<br />
What is your all-time high<br />
average? 231 in Colorado<br />
Springs. <strong>The</strong> bowling competition<br />
in Colorado is very high,<br />
and they pushed me to compete<br />
better each week.<br />
How long have you been<br />
bowling? Probably since I<br />
was four years old. All of the<br />
credit goes to my father(Dick<br />
Atkinson) who was on the<br />
All-American Army team(with<br />
Brian Voss as a teammate), and<br />
once he got out of the military<br />
he opened his own center in<br />
1987. He built Hallmark Lanes<br />
from scratch and it’s always<br />
been a family sport. I’m very<br />
proud to have shot the first 800<br />
by a female in the house that<br />
my family owns.<br />
Who is your favorite pro<br />
bowler? Growing up Brian Voss<br />
was my favorite, but I became<br />
fascinated with Diandra<br />
Asbaty and Tish Johnson, I<br />
got to know Tish when I was<br />
in Colorado Springs. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
both great individuals.<br />
Most memorable bowling<br />
moment? Shooting my first<br />
800. I had no idea I was on 800<br />
pace, but my friends Cassie<br />
Golden and Stephanie Laney<br />
both ran up on the approach<br />
and attacked me after my<br />
fill-shot. My whole team was<br />
keeping track, but I really<br />
wasn’t paying attention. I’m a<br />
believer in not paying attention<br />
to the score, just bowl the<br />
frame you’re in.<br />
What lessons has the game<br />
taught you? Always stay<br />

Happy New Year! I hope you<br />
all had a wonderful Christmas<br />
and will be safely ringing in<br />
the New Year with friends,<br />
family, and all the ones you<br />
love. I’ll be bringing in the<br />
New Year with one of the<br />
things I love, the blackjack<br />
table! I know, I really cannot<br />
figure out why I’m still single.<br />
This is the time of the year<br />
when we all reflect on our lives<br />
and make resolutions to change<br />
things to make ourselves better<br />
in future. Some of the most<br />
popular resolutions are to go<br />
on a diet or eat better, to get<br />
more exercise, to quit smoking<br />
or drinking, and to get more<br />
organized. Others can be less<br />
specific like spending more<br />
time with family or friends,<br />

helping others, learning<br />
something new, and enjoying<br />
life more. I could resolve to do<br />
everything on this list except<br />
that I don’t smoke, but I don’t<br />
like to make any resolutions I<br />
know I’m going to break.<br />
I know Tony would love it<br />
if I would resolve to get the<br />
Last Call done by Friday every<br />
week, but some weeks I just<br />
have too hard of a time finding<br />
a topic. I’m sure all of you have<br />
noticed some “off” weeks after<br />
reading my article and thought,<br />
“who cares?” or “why did I<br />
need to read 700 words about<br />
a Kia?” but I try to keep things<br />
as relevant and interesting as<br />
possible week to week. So my<br />
resolution for Tony is that I<br />
will try harder not to turn the<br />
Last Call into the Last Minute<br />
every week. (Editor’s Note:<br />
BEST NEWS EVER!!!)<br />
For myself, I’m going to<br />
work on losing these extra<br />
pounds I put back on in 2012.<br />
I’m not going to say I’m going<br />
on diet because that might<br />
last a week. I will resolve to<br />
pay more attention to what<br />
I am eating and to cut back<br />
on the Dr. Pepper and other<br />
empty calories I’m consuming.<br />
That, plus a little extra activity<br />
should do the trick in a month<br />
or two.<br />
We have several tournaments<br />
I’m going to bowl<br />
coming up in the first quarter<br />
of this year. So, I’m also going<br />
to try to get out and actually<br />
put in some time on the lanes<br />
practicing in the next few<br />
months so I will be sharper<br />
and more competitive. Let’s not<br />
get too specific, but I am going<br />
to try to practice at least twice<br />
a month. I know, I don’t want<br />
to make it too hard on myself<br />
to keep my resolutions.<br />
I’m also going to work on<br />
de-cluttering my life. I think<br />
this will help me as well as<br />
helping others as I have lots of<br />
clothing that no longer fit and I<br />
need to donate. I have to be the<br />
worlds worst at thinking “I’ll<br />
fit back into these one day” and<br />
keeping everything. Problem is,<br />
even if they fit, will I want to<br />
wear them again? So, if anyone<br />
knows a good women’s shelter<br />
or somewhere besides Goodwill<br />
that I should donate, please let<br />
me know.<br />
Obviously holding on to my<br />
past is not helping me move<br />
on to a great future. So, to kick<br />
this year off right I will be following<br />
most of the traditions of<br />
what to eat for good luck and<br />
good fortune in the upcoming<br />
year. <strong>The</strong>y say you should eat<br />
12 grapes at midnight, one for<br />
each month, and if the grape is<br />
sweet it will be a good month.<br />
Do you think if I take 12 sips<br />
of different wines I could ac-<br />

In all my years of sports I<br />
have never seen as much hype<br />
and discussion surrounding a<br />
player who doesn’t play more<br />
than I have with Tim Tebow.<br />
<strong>News</strong>papers write about him,<br />
television reporters critique<br />
him, and even rappers sing<br />
about him, but in the end he is<br />
still a third string quarterback<br />
who rarely sees the field so<br />
why does he get so much<br />
attention. I can only guess it is<br />
because he appears to do and<br />
be everything that most people<br />
would strive to become. We all<br />
make choices in life and most<br />
of us make many mistakes,<br />
but Tebow seems to always say<br />
the right things and act the<br />
right way so you pull for a guy<br />
like that. <strong>The</strong>n there are some<br />
who simply want to destroy<br />
the good guy image he’s built.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se people are always looking<br />
to read between the lines<br />
and turn some quote of his into<br />
a negative to try and ruin his<br />
image. I saw a headline last<br />
week about Tebow saying he<br />
is disappointed and frustrated<br />
with the season he had with<br />
the NY Jets this year, and they<br />
have somehow turned that<br />
48 th Annual<br />
into negative press for him and<br />
have begun calling him a quitter.<br />
Quite frankly the Jets are<br />
6-9 and have been eliminated<br />
from the playoffs for a couple<br />
of weeks so I would argue that<br />
anyone in that locker room<br />
who DEOSN’T describe the<br />
season as disappointing and<br />
frustrating should be cut immediately.<br />
In all I am no NFL<br />
scout, but it doesn’t appear to<br />
me that Tim Tebow is an elite<br />
NFL quarterback, but the guy<br />
has a lot of heart and is a great<br />
role model for kids so I’m sure<br />
he will be able to get a couple<br />
more years of paychecks simply<br />
based on being that. As for his<br />
next team, the Jacksonville<br />
Jaguars, at least you can put<br />
some extra butts in the seats!<br />
Being a Dallas Maverick<br />
fan was tough in the 90’s, but<br />
we have been rewarded ever<br />
since with stout teams capable<br />
of winning 50 to 60 games<br />
every year and making several<br />
deep playoff runs. However,<br />
it appears that we have come<br />
to the end of that era. Quite<br />
frankly this Dallas Maverick<br />
team is plain painful to watch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mavs look slow and un-<br />

athletic, maybe because Chris<br />
Kaman looks like someone<br />
held the turbo button down too<br />
long on a video game, and not<br />
much fun to watch. Last year I<br />
was okay with a mediocre team<br />
because the hope of signing<br />
some big time free agents was<br />
alluring, but since they didn’t<br />
get any of them this team<br />
looks terrible. I’m not sure<br />
what Mark Cuban is planning,<br />
but surely all these one year<br />
contracts must give the Mavs<br />
some flexibility to go after<br />
next year’s top free agents. I<br />
trust him so I am sure he will<br />
make it work. <strong>The</strong> Mavs were<br />
ready to put all their eggs in<br />
the Deron Williams basket and<br />
look how that turned out for<br />
the Brooklyn Nets. Maybe no<br />
one should be happier about<br />
not getting him than Rick<br />
Carlisle seeing as he still has a<br />
job and Avery Johnson doesn’t.<br />
Later this week you will<br />
all be in for a real treat as the<br />
premier of Aerial <strong>Bowling</strong> by<br />
Dexter will be available via<br />
You Tube. I am not exactly sure<br />
of the date, but supposedly by<br />
the end of this week it will be<br />
available. It’s pretty entertaining<br />
so make sure you go to You<br />
Tube later this week and search<br />
for Aerial <strong>Bowling</strong> by Dexter<br />
and you won’t be disappointed.<br />

Storm returns as sponsor at<br />
Open Championships<br />
ARLINGTON — For the<br />
18th consecutive year, Storm<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> Products, Inc. will<br />
be a sponsor at the United<br />
States <strong>Bowling</strong> Congress Open<br />
Championships.<br />
<strong>The</strong> relationship began in<br />
1996 when the tournament was<br />
held in Salt Lake City, close to<br />
Storm's Brigham City, Utah,<br />
headquarters. It has grown<br />
to include a presence at the<br />
Storm Bowlers Journal Championships<br />
presented by USBC,<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> Ball Express, USBC<br />
Photography and the National<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> Stadium's coaching<br />
area inside the Lane 81 Pro<br />
Shop.<br />
Here's a look at each:<br />
Storm Bowlers Journal<br />
Championships presented by<br />
USBC<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bowlers Journal<br />
Championships will be held<br />
in conjunction with the USBC<br />
Open Championships for the<br />
67th year and literally will<br />
be held alongside the world's<br />
largest participatory sporting<br />
event for the first time, taking<br />
place on the high end of<br />
the 78-lane National <strong>Bowling</strong><br />
Stadium in Reno, Nev. <strong>The</strong><br />
event will feature the same<br />
lane condition being used for<br />
doubles and singles at the Open<br />
Championships.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2013 edition of the<br />
Bowlers Journal Championships<br />
will feature lower entry<br />
fees, a new three-game format,<br />
singles and doubles divisions<br />
for bowlers of all ages and skill<br />
levels, Instant Payback and a<br />
variety of jackpots.<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> Ball Express<br />
Thousands of bowlers each<br />
year avoid the hassle of lugging<br />
their equipment through the<br />
airport by shipping their bowling<br />
balls to and from the USBC<br />
Championship events. Storm<br />
is the official bowling ball box<br />
provider for this service.<br />

Next Day, etc.) and price.<br />
Storm boxes will be available<br />
on-site for bowlers looking to<br />
ship their equipment home.<br />
USBC Photography<br />
Storm is a partner of USBC<br />
Photography, which offers<br />
bowlers the chance to commemorate<br />
the tournament<br />
experience with DVDs of their<br />
time on the lanes or a creative<br />
menu of team, doubles and<br />
action photos.<br />

My view on<br />
Competitive <strong>Bowling</strong><br />
By Xeno Garcia<br />
Competitive bowling. Where<br />
has it gone? It’s been a question<br />
I’ve asked myself for several<br />
months now. I started bowling<br />
competitively in a time when<br />
bowling was still considered<br />
bowling. A crowded bowling<br />
alley went quiet when someone<br />
had the first 11 hits. Scratch<br />
tournaments were alive and<br />
well. <strong>The</strong> best players from all<br />
across the country, traveling<br />
by plane or packing themselves<br />
into a tiny sedan. Tournaments<br />
in Texas paying $3000, $5000,<br />
$10,000, and even $50,000 to<br />
first place. It was a good time.<br />

Unfortunately,<br />
it was the<br />
beginning of<br />
the end.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bowlers of my generation<br />
and those following have<br />
nowhere to compete anymore.<br />
I found myself asking why.<br />
Everyone’s number one answer<br />
is the economy. Probably<br />
right, of course the economy<br />
is a factor in the decline of the<br />
bowling industry in general<br />
and its really unfortunate that<br />
our generation is seeing the<br />
worst of it. Costs are going up,<br />
payouts are staying the same<br />
across the board. Some days<br />

I wonder why I continue to<br />
compete at this level. Where<br />
is the payoff? It’s beginning<br />
to get harder and harder for<br />
me to see. I bowl to win first<br />
and foremost, but money is<br />
important! Very important.<br />
It’s impossible to live unless<br />
there is some type of financial<br />
benefit to it all.<br />
I’ve had to make every<br />
tournament a business decision.<br />
Possible payout minus the<br />
expenses. Seems easy enough<br />
on paper but there’s always<br />
more to it. As a general rule I<br />
like first place to pay 10 times<br />
my entry fee. For instance if<br />
the entry fee is $100, I would<br />
like to see first pay $1000.<br />
But there are other factors<br />
which make it appealing to me<br />
as well, the cash ratio being<br />
one of them. Most events are<br />
1:5 or 1:6 ratios. Some tournaments<br />
with qualifying squads<br />
are 1:8 or 1:10. Those that pay<br />
1:3 or 1:4 will usually pay less<br />
to first place (unless sponsors<br />
are used). I like the idea of<br />
paying more spots because<br />
it lets bowlers live to fight<br />
another day. <strong>The</strong>se things can<br />
get expensive!<br />
I always question the payout<br />
of the tournament, where are<br />
my entry fees going? I research<br />
the payout history for each<br />
tournament, event, or tournament<br />
club. Most tournaments<br />
have a history of results I can<br />
look at for quick reference. I<br />
consider lineage as being $4<br />
per game (which is a pretty<br />
high estimate but that’s the<br />
number I use). Multiply the lineage<br />
by the number of games<br />
bowled by the players; including<br />
the qualifying, semis, and<br />
finals. This total gives me a<br />
general idea of the tournament<br />
directors costs for running the<br />
event. Once I have that number,<br />
I start adding up the total<br />
payout of their last tournament.<br />
Now I should have an idea of<br />
what the tournament director<br />
is making at the event. I bowl<br />
them all regardless of format,<br />
cost, or location, as long as the<br />
numbers make sense to me.<br />
Directing a tournament is<br />
no easy task and I wouldn’t<br />
wish it upon anybody. If<br />
things don’t run perfectly,<br />
people complain, there’s always<br />
someone that isn’t happy and<br />
on occasion, a mistake is made<br />
that costs someone a lot of<br />
money. It’s not something I<br />
wish to ever do myself. For that<br />
reason, I’m extremely grateful<br />
to all the tournament directors<br />
in the southwest region; Donna<br />
Conners, Terry Taylor, Tina<br />
Taylor, Jim King, Kathy King,<br />
Paul Henderson, Charlie Natal,<br />
Duane Bates, Steven Hauk,<br />
Greg Oneal, Pete McCordic,<br />
just to name a few. Most of<br />
their work is behind the scenes<br />
and I’m sure they rarely get<br />
the Thank You’s they deserve.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y do all the hard work to<br />
get these events so we can still<br />
bowl competitively, whether<br />
it be a handicap or scratch<br />
tournament. Be sure and thank<br />
the tournament directors in<br />
your area, without them,<br />
competitive bowling would be<br />
long gone by now.<br />

New SMART point system,<br />
website interface for 2013<br />
ARLINGTON — Participants<br />
and providers in SMART,<br />
the scholarship management<br />
program for youth bowlers,<br />
will notice some changes to<br />
the program's online portal in<br />
2013. <strong>The</strong> changes are designed<br />
to strengthen the program and<br />
enhance functionality.<br />
Effective <strong>Jan</strong>uary 2013,<br />
recipients will see scholarship<br />
awards displayed in their<br />
SMART account as points<br />
rather than dollars, with one<br />
point equal to five dollars.<br />
<strong>The</strong> value of all scholarships<br />
remains the same, and the<br />
points will be converted to dollars<br />
when a recipient requests<br />
the use of funds.<br />
"Parents, students and<br />
providers can be assured<br />
their funds are safe and the<br />
reporting change to points<br />
will not affect scholarship<br />
amounts," SMART Corporation<br />
Board Chairman Wally Hall<br />
said. "This reporting change<br />
strengthens the SMART program<br />
by better aligning with<br />
standards of athletic associations<br />
across the country.<br />
"We received valuable<br />
counsel from educators and<br />
industry leaders in states such<br />
as Illinois and Michigan in<br />
making these adjustments. <strong>The</strong><br />

Angelo ends four-year<br />
PBA title slump<br />
Viper Championship Victory<br />
LAS VEGAS — Brad Angelo<br />
of Lockport, N.Y, with two<br />
strikes and an eight-count in<br />
the 10th frame, ended four<br />
years of frustration with a 233-<br />
232 victory over Finland’s Mika<br />
Koivuniemi to win the Professional<br />
Bowlers Association<br />
Viper Championship at South<br />
Point Hotel and Casino.<br />
Angelo, who won his only<br />
PBA Tour title in the 2008<br />
Viper Championship in Omaha,<br />
Neb., came into the Viper<br />
Championship finals as the<br />
top qualifier, but got help from<br />
Koivuniemi in the final frame<br />
before pulling off his clutch<br />
victory.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Viper Championship,<br />
the second of five PBA Tour<br />
events held as part of the<br />
GEICO PBA World Series of<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> IV at South Point,<br />
aired Sunday on ESPN.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> finals are airing on my<br />
birthday, and I guarantee there<br />
will be an absolute blow-out<br />
Christmas party, slash birthday<br />
party, slash victory number<br />
two party at Brad Angelo<br />
Lanes,” the now 43-year-old<br />
Angelo said.<br />
Koivuniemi started the title<br />
match with a 4-10 split and an<br />
open frame. Angelo returned<br />
the favor in the third frame<br />
when he left a 4-6-7 split and<br />
opened. Neither bowler missed<br />
the pocket after those errors,<br />
although each left and converted<br />
a single-pin spare.<br />
<strong>The</strong> contest came down to<br />
the 10th frame where Koivuniemi,<br />
working on a string of four<br />
strikes, added a fifth on his<br />
first shot. Needing nine pins<br />
and a spare to lock up the title,<br />
Koivuniemi left the 3-6-9-10 to<br />
give Angelo a chance to win<br />
with a double and eight pins,<br />
PBA LLC Photo<br />
Brad Angelo<br />
and that’s exactly what the<br />
11-year PBA Tour veteran got.<br />
“Mika gave me a chance,<br />
but I feel for him,” Angelo said.<br />
“I’ve bowled against him for 25<br />
years and he’s about as classy<br />
as they come. He made some<br />
great shots to virtually shut me<br />
out, and the next thing I know,<br />
he got six (pins).<br />
“All you ever want is a<br />
chance. That’s what I kept<br />
saying to myself, give me a<br />
chance,” Angelo continued. “I<br />
thought I needed nine pins to<br />
win. I guess it didn’t register<br />
that he got six pins, not seven,<br />
but I didn’t look at the score.<br />
That’s the first time in my<br />
career I didn’t look to see what<br />
I really needed; I just got up<br />
and tried to make three quality<br />
shots.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> victory was redemption<br />
for four years of extreme<br />
frustration for Angelo.<br />
“My slow years were certainly<br />
not for lack of effort,” he<br />
said. “I dealt with the evolution<br />
of the sport. <strong>Bowling</strong> with so<br />
much friction on the lanes here<br />
in Las Vegas, a guy like me<br />
2012 QubicaAMF <strong>Bowling</strong> World Cup<br />
Shayna and Syafiq take titles<br />
for Singapore and Malaysia<br />
Shayna Ng of Singapore and<br />
Syafiq Rhidwan Abdul Malek<br />
of Malaysia are the QubicaAMF<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> World Cup champions<br />
for 2012 after a stunning<br />
display in the stepladder finals,<br />
held in the Sky <strong>Bowling</strong> Centre<br />
in Wroclaw, Poland. Shayna<br />
first had to overcome England’s<br />
Kirsten Penny in the semi-final,<br />
which she did by 2 games to<br />
nil, 246 to 215 and 221 to 191.<br />
She moved on to play Aumi<br />
Guerra of the Dominican<br />
Republic, trying to win the<br />
title for a record third time in a<br />
row. Aumi started like a train,<br />
winning the first game 269 to<br />
224, but Shayna came back to<br />
win and amazing second game<br />
by 267 to 259. So a third game<br />
was needed and two big splits<br />
put Aumi at a big disadvantage.<br />

Syafiq Rhidwan Abdul Malek of<br />
Malaysia, left and Shayna Ng of<br />
Singapore.<br />
By the 9th frame it was all<br />
over and Shayna took the third<br />
game 247 to 169. Her set of 738<br />
is a new arena record, beating<br />
the Philippines’ Lisa del<br />
Rosario’s 737 set in 2001.<br />
Shayna is studying for a<br />
without the speed and rev rate<br />
some of the power guys have,<br />
is pretty much nullified.<br />
“Some of these guys – and<br />
they’re great players – have an<br />
advantage over guys like me.<br />
My weak 10 pin is their messenger<br />
10-pin strike. My 2-10<br />
split could be another strike for<br />
them because they can send<br />
the headpin off the wall.<br />
“It’s been a struggle, but<br />
today I feel great. Great,” he<br />
said with a grin. “Hopefully<br />
I’ve silenced some of the people<br />
who decided that my career is<br />
over. Hopefully I’ve shoved that<br />
right in their mouths.”<br />
Koivuniemi advanced to<br />
the title match with a 214-150<br />
victory over Mike Fagan of<br />
Dallas in the first match, and<br />
a 258-180 win over reigning<br />
PBA Player of the Year Sean<br />
Rash of Montgomery, Ill., in the<br />
semifinal match.<br />

having competed five times<br />
with a best placing of 2nd in<br />
2002. Shayna said: “I had to<br />
fight my way up from third<br />
but it did mean that I got used<br />
to the lanes for the finals and<br />
Remy really helped me make<br />
lots of adjustments, so many<br />
that I had to write them down<br />
to remember them. It has been<br />
a great experience working<br />
with Remy. This is my first<br />
world title and I’m a record<br />

Syafiq beat Andres Gomez<br />

Qatar Open<br />
Adds 19th nation to international titles list<br />
DOHA, Qatar (Dec. 15,<br />
2012) — Two-time Professional<br />
Bowlers Association Player of<br />
the Year Mika Koivuniemi, a<br />
native of Finland now living in<br />
the United States, continued to<br />
expand his unprecedented international<br />
bowling portfolio when<br />
he won the 12th annual Qatar<br />
Open Saturday at Qatar <strong>Bowling</strong><br />
Center, making Qatar the 19th<br />
different country in which he<br />
has won a bowling title.<br />
Koivuniemi defeated fellow<br />
Finn Tony Ranta, 544-471, in<br />
the two-game total pinfall title<br />
match to win a first prize of<br />
US$39,480.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament was part<br />
of the growing World Tenpin<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> Association-PBA<br />
International Tour series, and it<br />
was the final event of the 2012<br />
European <strong>Bowling</strong> Tour season.<br />
Koivuniemi, who led the<br />
Qatar field of 142 players<br />
from 26 countries through the<br />
preliminary qualifying rounds,<br />
defeated Sweden’s Martin<br />
Larsen, 442-385, to advance<br />
to the title match while Ranta<br />
eliminated 13-time PBA Tour<br />
titlist Tommy Jones of Simpsonville,<br />
S.C., 389-361.<br />
"This is my first title in this<br />
part of the world and I'm glad<br />
I finally broke that jinx," the<br />
45-year-old Koivuniemi said.<br />
Koivuniemi, a long-time<br />
member of Finland’s national<br />
bowling team before joining the<br />
PBA and moving to Hartland,<br />
Mich., had previously won titles<br />
in his home country, Sweden,<br />
Denmark, Japan, Singapore,<br />
Korea, Thailand, Malaysia,<br />
A FEEL GOOD STORY<br />

options might be, before we<br />
ever talk to a doctor. So I’ve<br />
never had a moment of shock<br />
or reasons to get my hopes up<br />
only to be disappointed. I’m<br />
extremely lucky in that aspect.<br />
DB: I know how much<br />
my friends meant to me but I<br />
didn’t want to be a burden and<br />
shied away from people. How<br />
about for you?<br />
SS: Friends have been a<br />
big emotional support. I had<br />
friends bring me lunch in the<br />
hospital daily. Call me and<br />
Angie to see if we were OK.<br />
Just knowing friends care is<br />
a big motivator to get better.<br />
People who have dealt with<br />
cancer, including you, have<br />
been more than willing to<br />
share their stories and be there<br />
for support. I got messages on<br />
Facebook from people I knew<br />
and didn’t know wishing me<br />
luck. That’s been great!<br />
DB: I am sure you knew the<br />
prognosis as I did during all<br />
of this, how did you deal with<br />
that part?<br />
SS: In the past I have asked<br />
my wife how she deals with<br />
life and death on a daily basis<br />
from what can be perceived as<br />

life being unfair at times? She<br />
responds with “it’s God’s will”.<br />
I guess that has sunk in over<br />
time. I have never asked “why”<br />
or “why me”? It’s useless and<br />
pointless to dwell on the worst<br />
that might happen. If I’m sick<br />
and laying in a hospital bed,<br />
then I deal with it and look<br />
forward to when I get to go<br />
home. Yes, getting told you have<br />
cancer, going through treatments<br />
and having my body try<br />
to shut down on me is terrible.<br />
But it could of been a lot worse<br />
and I could of not had the support<br />
group I did. For that, I feel<br />
I truly am very fortunate.<br />
Well a couple of weeks ago<br />
I texted Sean and we were<br />
chatting and he said he just<br />
had a MRI done and it showed<br />
something in the area like it<br />
had before. Four days later he<br />
texted me back and said it was<br />
just scar tissue. THANK GOD<br />
is what I said. But that is the<br />
way we live. When you deal<br />
with <strong>The</strong> Big C you are never<br />
truly at ease. But that is why<br />
I say this is a feel good story.<br />
Nothing was there and we hope<br />
nothing ever is. He is truly one<br />
of the good guys, and he can<br />
inspire all of us to keep going<br />
even when there is darkness<br />
hanging over our heads.

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, <strong>Jan</strong>uary 3, 2013 | Page 13<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>e Morris<br />
passes away<br />
By Michelle Rogers<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dallas area recently lost<br />
a huge supporter and pioneer<br />
of junior bowling with the<br />
passing of <strong>Jan</strong>e Morris, long<br />
time youth director at AMF<br />
Showplace Lanes Garland and<br />
Blazer Bowl. She was born<br />
on May 27, 1939 and died<br />
December 15, 2012 she was 73.<br />
Married to Willie Morris for 46<br />
years.<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> was not only in her<br />
blood, it also became her life.<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>e grew up in the world of<br />
bowling, her father Raymond<br />
Rainey owned Garland Lanes.<br />
She worked the many positions<br />
of a bowling center and took<br />
over as Youth Director in 1977<br />
at Preston Forrest Lanes. When<br />
it closed in 1980 she moved to<br />
Blazer Bowl and then made her<br />
final move to Showplace Lanes<br />
in Garland in 1991.<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>e married Willie Morris,<br />
a Garland High School friend,<br />
in 1966. <strong>The</strong>y reconnected<br />
at Blazer Bowl after hearing<br />
his name called for a high<br />
game one night during league.<br />
Together they raised her two<br />
sons, Donald and Richard<br />
Perry, who also enjoyed and<br />
excelled in the game. <strong>Jan</strong>e was<br />
an avid bowler who averaged<br />
190 for years, back when lanes<br />
were tough. Her personal best<br />
was a high game of 289, a 748<br />
series and she seldom lost the<br />
pot games that she and Willie<br />
would bowl as partners. She<br />
was a long time member of<br />
TCBA bowling with the teams<br />
of <strong>Bowling</strong> and Billiards and<br />
then Showplace Garland Pro<br />
Shop where I finally got the<br />
pleasure of bowling with her.<br />
Her love of the sport also<br />
flowed down to her grandchildren<br />
Keith, Erin, William and<br />
Christopher. She was instrumental<br />
in re-establishing Dallas<br />
area high school bowling and<br />
was the coach for Lakeview<br />
Centennial High School helping<br />
the men win a State Championship<br />
and then runner up the<br />
years her grandson Keith was a<br />
junior and senior.<br />
Her time as Youth Director<br />
was a true passion for her. She<br />
told her husband on her first<br />
Saturday league day at Showplace,<br />
a 58 lane house filled<br />
with people and a full team<br />
on every lane, “if everyone<br />
loved their job as much as I<br />
do, everyone would be happy.”<br />
She not only coached the kids<br />
in her program, she would<br />
also be a surrogate mother<br />
to them. She helped establish<br />
the Grand Prix Scholarship<br />
program which awards points<br />
for participation in league and<br />
tournaments that are converted<br />
to money for use in college.<br />
Some of her better known<br />
juniors include Del Ballard, Jr,<br />
Ted Pritts and Ken Johnson.<br />
I remember when I<br />
started bowling juniors here<br />
in Dallas in ’79; she was one<br />
of the people I always saw at<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>e Morris<br />
tournaments and Jr. Travel<br />
league. She had about 15 – 20<br />
kids around her at all times<br />
constantly asking questions,<br />
telling jokes or simply hugging<br />
on her. She was never<br />
frazzled and loved it. When we<br />
became teammates and friends<br />
bowling TCBA, I enjoyed her<br />
tenacity as a bowler and her<br />
desire to win but have fun.<br />
We would celebrate with a<br />
trip to Baskin Robbins often.<br />
When I became a mom and<br />
my girls starting bowling, she<br />
was their youth director and<br />
I appreciated even more, the<br />
time and attention she gave<br />
to the kids and the parents.<br />
She organized incredible trips<br />
and helped raise money for<br />
the state tournaments for “her<br />
kids” by establishing fund<br />
raising in many forms, renting<br />
charter buses and making sure<br />
everyone going could afford the<br />
food and hotel rooms.<br />
“She always put the kids<br />
first and didn’t care about getting<br />
involved in the politics of<br />
junior bowling,” said Del. “She<br />
was one of the nicest ladies<br />
and will be missed greatly”.<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>e Morris passed away<br />
from complications of bone<br />
cancer. Willie said that he<br />
hoped when people thought<br />
about her that they remember<br />
“she loved what she did and<br />
she was very good at it”. I<br />
agree and am thankful for all<br />
of her contributions. A memorial<br />
service celebrating her life<br />
is being planned and details<br />
are forthcoming.<br />
SHAYNA AND SYAFIQ<br />
Continued from Page 12<br />
and 237 against 225 and 221.<br />
He said afterwards: “I think I<br />
was lucky to play on the championship<br />
lanes first. I learnt<br />
how to play the lanes and I got<br />
better carry in the final match.<br />
It is such an honour for me<br />
and my country as I am the<br />
first Malaysian player to win<br />
this wonderful tournament.”<br />
His win actually means that<br />
Malaysia and the USA are tied<br />
for top country but the trophy<br />
goes to Malaysia as one of their<br />
players won the title.

WTBA partners with USBC<br />
to study new specifications<br />
ARLINGTON — In an effort<br />
to determine new lines of<br />
specifications at the sport of<br />
bowling's elite level, the United<br />
States <strong>Bowling</strong> Congress will<br />
join with the World Tenpin<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> Association to look at<br />
factors that influence scoring.<br />
"Many of our sport's leaders<br />
believe it is critical to look<br />
more closely at how equipment<br />
and conditions influence scoring,"<br />
WTBA President Kevin<br />
Dornberger said. "We need to<br />
consider if there is justification<br />
for additional classifications for<br />
equipment or conditions for use<br />
by federations at the elite level.<br />
This is an important topic to<br />
explore in an objective and<br />
scientific way, which is why we<br />
are joining with USBC in this<br />

study."<br />
A background study and<br />
hypothesis testing will begin<br />
immediately, with lab and field<br />
testing beginning next year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> studies will be followed by<br />
recommendations to be implemented<br />
and tested at world<br />
events in 2014. A preliminary<br />
report will be presented to the<br />
WTBA Congress in August<br />
2013, while a final recommendation<br />
will be presented in<br />
August 2015.<br />
"We will be looking at what<br />
factors influence scoring and<br />
at what point those factors<br />
change dramatically," USBC<br />
Managing Director of National<br />
Governing Body Neil Stremmel<br />
said. "<strong>The</strong> study will factor in<br />
bowling ball specifications but<br />
will not be limited to that. It is<br />
important to note that the focus<br />
of the research will be aspects<br />
that influence competition<br />
at the elite level and that we<br />
do not anticipate the results<br />
impacting basic USBC rules."<br />
Stremmel said the study also<br />
will include looking at other<br />
aspects of scoring, including<br />
pins, lane conditioners and<br />
lane patterns.<br />

<strong>The</strong> you’re okay NMW<br />
Dr. Dean Hinitz says it’s<br />
difficult to raise your arm if<br />
you think you’re going to get<br />
punched in the ribs. That’s<br />
exactly what judging will do to<br />
you. If you think there is some<br />
kind of punishment or price to<br />
pay for a shot, you won’t make<br />
that shot very well. I don’t<br />
mean punishment like jail or<br />
the IRS; I mean things like<br />
being embarrassed or shown to<br />
be wrong (or even human).<br />
It happens to all of us. I<br />
remember not too long ago<br />
playing on some lanes that<br />
changed more quickly than<br />
anything I had ever experienced.<br />
I left the 4/9 on the<br />
right lane. Because I knew they<br />
changed quickly and, in this<br />
house, if one changed, so did<br />
the other, I moved three left<br />
on the left lane. I left the 4/9.<br />
I moved 5 and 3 more on the<br />
right lane (now 8/3 different<br />
than the first 4/9) and guess<br />
what? I left the 4/9. My first<br />
thought was that all those<br />
people were going to think I<br />
didn’t know to move.<br />
What a shock. (Leaving<br />
back-to-back 4/9s, although not<br />
pleasant, wasn’t as much of a<br />
shock as my thought.) I surely<br />
thought I was past all that<br />
stuff. I knew I was moving.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y weren’t keeping me warm<br />
at night or paying the bills, so<br />
what did it matter what they<br />
thought? Oh my. Still have<br />
World Famous<br />

some lessons to learn in this<br />
incarnation, I guess. Anyway, it<br />
was an eye-opener to find that<br />
thought in my head. Of course,<br />
the issue with any thought is<br />
what you do with it. I’m not<br />
responsible for what comes into<br />
my head but I am very responsible<br />
if I choose to keep it. I’m<br />
still working on that part.<br />
I survived three 4/9s in a<br />
row. Regardless if all those<br />
people in scratch league think I<br />
can’t move or didn’t move, I’m<br />
still an okay person. Important<br />
things like the sun coming up<br />
and how happy Semi-Precious<br />
is to see me when I get home<br />
are the same. Those 4/9s<br />
were an inconvenience, not a<br />
tragedy. Too bad I didn’t have<br />
all this wisdom when I shot<br />
129 in Nationals… I used to<br />
think I was unworthy. I mean,<br />
who would want to bowl with<br />
someone who shot 129 at<br />
Nationals??? It’s a constant lesson<br />
to learn to remember that<br />
was my bowling score, not my<br />
life score. I am not my number.<br />
Okayness is a way of life, a<br />
way of thinking of things that<br />
observes what happens, not<br />
judges outcome.<br />
It’s the same way you treat<br />
your doubles partner. You<br />
would never talk to your doubles<br />
partner the way you talk to<br />
yourself. You know that if you<br />
tell someone they are crummy<br />
or worthless or a terrible 10<br />
pin shooter long enough, they<br />

town of Saginaw and now I go<br />
with my teammates and friends<br />
in Pittsburgh. I was introduced<br />
to the PBA when I played in<br />
Chris Paul's charity event<br />
and got a firsthand look at<br />
how incredibly talented these<br />
athletes are, and I couldn't be<br />
more excited to be a celebrity<br />
owner in the first ever PBA<br />
League."<br />
Woodley will be owner of<br />
the Pittsburgh Jack Rabbits<br />
which is made up of franchise<br />
player Osku Palermaa, Martin<br />
Larsen, former Saginaw<br />
Valley State All-American Dan<br />
MacLelland, Thomas Larsen,<br />
Patrick Allen and supplemental<br />
pick Anthony LaCaze.<br />
Woodley was a member of<br />
the 2008 Steelers’ Super Bowl<br />
championship team and was<br />
also an All-American and<br />
Big Ten Defensive Player of<br />
the Year at the University of<br />
Michigan before being drafted<br />
by the Steelers in 2007.<br />
"LaMarr is a proven winner<br />
and we are glad to have him on<br />
our side,” said PBA Commissioner<br />
Tom Clark. “<strong>The</strong>re are<br />
some natural rivalries within<br />
the PBA League forming fast,<br />
including LaMarr's Pittsburgh<br />
team and Jerome Bettis' Motown<br />
squad. Plus, who in their<br />
right mind will dare make the<br />
ridiculous statement 'bowling<br />
isn't a sport' to Mr. Woodley?"<br />
Woodley is also active in<br />
many charitable initiatives. <strong>The</strong><br />
LaMarr Woodley Foundation<br />
– www.lamarrwoodleyfoundation.com<br />
– is a non-profit<br />
organization designed to give<br />
underprivileged and underserved<br />
youth and adults an<br />
opportunity to overcome<br />
unfortunate situations and<br />
their environment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> eight teams that will<br />
make up the PBA League were<br />
determined through a draft<br />
that was conducted during the<br />

back in 2013 to defend his<br />

a threat.<br />
2013 will also bring us more<br />
televised PBA events on ESPN<br />
including five weeks of PBA<br />
league bowling. Eight teams that<br />
will make up the PBA League<br />
were determined through a<br />
draft that was conducted during<br />

players from the PBA Tour<br />
eligible to compete, including<br />
PBA Hall of Famers Pete Weber,<br />
Parker Bohn III and ESPN<br />
analyst Randy Pedersen. Also<br />
on the list of those becoming<br />
eligible at age 50 in the months<br />
ahead are PBA Tour champions<br />
Jack Jurek, Chris Warren and<br />
David Traber.<br />
2013 should be a great year.<br />

While bowling a make up<br />
set for one of my senior leagues<br />
at Phantom Warrior Lanes on<br />
20 December, we arrived at<br />
11 a.m. and there were about<br />
ten high school bowlers there<br />
practicing. By noon the majority<br />
of the 48 lane center was in<br />
use. I have been bowling for<br />
many years in the association<br />
and know most of the league<br />
bowlers, but I saw many young<br />
soldiers and youth bowlers that<br />
I never saw bowling in leagues,<br />
and they were really good.<br />
Talking with the soldiers they<br />
said they didn’t bowl leagues<br />
because of deployments, but<br />
get together for open bowling<br />
whenever they have the chance.<br />
I know some teams and leagues<br />
that would like to have those<br />
young arms on their roster.<br />

again – What do you think<br />
of the USBC awards program?<br />
Personally, I never expect to<br />
roll a 300 game, I’ll leave a ten<br />
pin at some time during the ten<br />
frames. However, I have all the<br />
key chains I need. I bowled a<br />
250 game and got a key chain.<br />
My friend on another team<br />
rolled a 700 series and got the<br />
same key chain as I got. Now<br />
I ask you, Is it harder to roll<br />
three games equaling 700 plus,<br />
or bowling one game for 250?<br />
Come on USBC you can do<br />
better. <strong>The</strong> awards are laughed<br />
at by most.<br />
x/x/x<br />
Well, it’s time to check my<br />
equipment and try and raise<br />
my average the rest of this<br />
year. <strong>The</strong>re are a lot of tournaments<br />
I am scheduled to bowl<br />
and I don’t want to look too<br />
foolish. Here’s hoping you all<br />
have a great 2013, but most of<br />
all have fun and enjoy your<br />
bowling friends.<br />
See you on the lanes.<br />

life thanks to my dad,” said<br />
Hardwick, who also has more<br />
than 1.7 million followers on<br />
Twitter. “I was actually named<br />
after Chris Schenkel! As a 190-<br />
200 average bowler, I would<br />
never make it on the Tour<br />
so the next best thing for me<br />
is to acquire a team so I can<br />
live vicariously through their<br />
accomplishments—kind of like<br />
an annoying stagemom.<br />
“Since bowling is the purest<br />
demonstration of Newtonian<br />
Physics, I wanted a science-y<br />
team name so I went with<br />
"Atom Splitters.” Of course,<br />
splits are no good to a bowler,<br />
but I think the name refers<br />
more to the fact that Chris<br />
Barnes and Co. are so accurate<br />
on the lanes, that the precision<br />
of their shots could split any<br />
single atom of their choosing.<br />
It is very exciting to me that<br />
almost all of the other teams<br />
are owned by professional<br />
athletes who are about to feel<br />
the searing sting of getting<br />
their asses handed to them by<br />
a nerd."<br />
Hardwick’s other credits<br />
include hosting AMC network’s<br />
highly-rated Talking Dead, and<br />
an hour-long stand-up comedy<br />
special called "Mandroid" that<br />
premiered in 2012 on Comedy<br />
Central. He previously hosted<br />
Singled Out on MTV and Web<br />
Soup for the G4 Network.<br />
Hardwick is also getting a<br />
full season at BBC America.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Nerdist (named after his<br />
popular podcast and website),<br />
has expanded from numerous<br />
pop-culture specials to a<br />
10-episode season that will<br />
kick off in spring 2013 as part<br />
of the cable network's "Supernatural<br />
Saturday" programming<br />
block.<br />
"Chris Hardwick has the<br />
perfect DNA to become an<br />
owner in the PBA League and<br />
we couldn't be more excited<br />
about the partnership,” said<br />
Clark. “His father is a legend<br />
on the lanes and Chris is not<br />
only a great promoter of bowling<br />
already with his All-Star<br />
Celebrity <strong>Bowling</strong> show on his<br />
web site but brings legions of<br />
fans from his ever-expanding<br />
kingdom to the PBA."<br />
Hardwick will compete in<br />
the Chris Paul PBA League<br />
All-Stars event which will take<br />
place on <strong>Jan</strong>. 7 at Lucky Strike<br />
LA Live in Los Angeles. <strong>The</strong><br />
tournament, which benefits<br />
CP3 charities will air on ESPN<br />

strikes before leaving a 10<br />

O’Neill answered with a string<br />

head after building a big lead<br />
with seven strikes to start the<br />
contest. Wolfe, who didn’t<br />
throw consecutive strikes until<br />
the seventh and eighth frames,<br />
was all but eliminated after six<br />
frames.<br />
“When I got the strike in<br />
the seventh frame, I knew I<br />
just needed one more mark to<br />
lock up the title,” he said. “I<br />
got to thinking it would be really<br />
cool to shoot 300, because<br />
Tony Reyes bowled 300 for his<br />
first title on this lane condition,<br />
and that was kind of going<br />
through my mind. I got a little<br />
jittery in the eighth and threw<br />
it a little quick, and left the 2-8-<br />
10. That’s what happened.”<br />
Reyes, a close friend, died<br />
in late September of injuries<br />
sustained in a traffic accident<br />
near his northern California<br />
home.<br />
“Tony was on all of our<br />
minds,” O’Neill said. “<strong>The</strong>re<br />
was a masking unit with his<br />
picture on it in the bowling<br />
center and every time you saw<br />
it, it was sad, but you have to<br />
put it out of your mind. You<br />
just had to know he’d want you<br />
to do well. We all wish he was<br />
here.”<br />
