AMF Plainview Recap

Posted On: October 19, 2009

The Long Island Generations Bowling Tour (LIGBT) second season kicked off with its first of 18 events at AMF Plainview. A total of 95 bowlers, up 20% from last year’s first event, competed for over $7,000 in prizes. The winner of the scratch event was Dennis Nicol of Staten Island, NY earning $1,000. The 210 & under champion, was female bowler Hee Jin Jun of Flushing, NY who earned $500.
 
The scoring pace at AMF Plainview was the most challenging pattern used in LIGBT history. In the scratch event it only took a 195 average to make the finals in the 49 & under division and a 187 average in the senior division. In the 210 & under tournament it only took a 602 series, with handicap and bonus pins, to advance. Good shot making was definitely at a premium.
 
Dennis Nicol, a right-handed bowler who threw the ball fast and straight, was the qualifying leader with an 869 four game block. With his qualifying leader position Dennis was seeded into the final match and only had to bowl one game to win the title. He did just that rolling a 232 game to outpace his nearest competitor by 32 pins. Finishing second was Sal Materra, a super senior from Nesconset, NY. Sal needed a hit in the 10th frame to secure second place and the $500 payout. In third place was lefty Darren Andretta of New Hyde Park, who shot a 195 and took home $300. Rounding out the top 4 shootout was previous LIGBT Champion Alex Cavagnaro of Lindenhurst who rolled a 180 and earned $250.
 
The 210 and under final shootout was dominated by Hee Jin Jun. Hee won her first LIGBT title with a 202 game (including handicap and bonus pins) that included two split conversions. Hee’s nearest competitor was Lou Medina of W. Babylon, NY who earned $250 with a 179 game. Finishing third in the shootout was the qualifying leader (658), John Palermire of Farmingdale, NY who rolled a 153 and earned $175.
 
The next LIGBT event is at North Levittown Lanes on Sunday, November 8th at noon. Top prizes are guaranteed at $1,000 for the scratch event and $500 for the handicap tournament. As always, 1 in 4 bowlers will advance to the finals in both events.

Joe Stillman & Cary Fishman LIGBT Champions

Posted On: September 14, 2009

 
 
September 12, 2009
 
Garden City, NY: The Long Island Generations Bowling Tour (LIGBT) first season came to close at AMF Garden City. A total of 94 bowlers competed for over $5,000 in prizes. The winner of the scratch event was Joe Stillman of Staten Island, NY earning $1,000. The 210 & under champion, winning his second LIGBT title in a row, was Cary Fishman of New York City who earned $500.
 
The scoring pace at AMF Garden City was low as good shot making was at a premium. In the scratch event it only took a 209 average to make the cut in the under group and a 202 average for the seniors. The high qualifiers who earned spots in the final shootout were junior bowler Ray Novaro of East Patchogue, NY who shot an 1194 series (239 average) and Super Senior Ralph Ehrlich of N. Massapequa, NY earned the senior top spot, for a second tournament in a row, with a 1028 block (206 average). There was a 55 year age difference between the two qualifying leaders proving the LIGBT is truly “generational”!
 
The scratch championship shootout was very close the first five frames as all 4 bowlers were within 10 pins of each other. But Joe Stillman took control and struck in the 6th frame through the 10th to secure his first LIGBT title. Joe finished with a 245 giving him a comfortable 24 pin victory over second place finisher Super Senior Ralph Ehrlich (221) who earned $600. There was a tie for the last two spots in the shootout as Joe Novaro and Mike Wodinski both shot 176 and earned $350. Since Joe is an amateur junior bowler his winnings went directly to the USBC SMART program to be used for Joe to go to college.
 
The 210 and under final shootout consisted of bowlers with a lot of LIGBT finals experience.   Cary Fishman earned the $500 top prize by shooting a 233 game (199 + 34 pins). Finishing second with a 212 game (201 + 11 pins) was Vito Genova, who finished third in the last event, and earned $250. Rounding out the top 4 was Jae Yi of Flushing who earned $175 with a 210 game (192 + 18 pins) and Robert Bader who shot a 206 (182 + 24 pins) and cashed for $125. 
 
At the Garden City event the LIGBT announced its Season 2 schedule. The 2009-10 LIGBT season will consist of 16 events including 3 majors. The LIGBT will be visiting several new centers including AMF Plainview which will be the host of our next event on Sunday, October 18th.

LIGBT Season 2 Schedule Almost Complete

Posted On: July 30, 2009

 
 
After a very successful inaugural season The LIGBT is planning a major expansion for 2009-2010. We are currently finalizing 18 events that will run from October through early June. No events are planned for late June, July or August at this time.
 
The schedule will contain several new editions including a couple of Saturday night events, three major events that will run several days and feature larger prize funds, running events in Queens, and promoting a charity event to raise money for scholarships. Our goal with the schedule is to work with all of the current local tournament clubs to avoid conflicting dates.
 
The LIGBT is looking to double its membership in year two. We will accomplish this goal by having an extremely aggressive recruiting program and contest. The LIGBT is also pleased to announce it has hired a marketing firm to secure sponsors for the Tour and is also looking at the possibility of televising a “Grand Championship.”
 
We are happy to announce Columbia 300 has already agreed to extend its partnership with The LIGBT. This will allow us to continue to offer special programs to our members. We will be upgrading our membership bonuses to be more attractive to a variety of bowlers and offer a higher-end line of LIGBT apparel.
 
We are very excited about the coming year and look forward to many great events and many winners. For more information on the LIGBT please visit www.ligbtour.com or call the tournament hotline; 1.877.900.6464.

LIGBT Announces Exciting Summer Tour

Posted On: July 08, 2009

Syosset, NY: The Long Island Generations Bowling Tour (LIGBT) is pleased to announce an extension of its inaugural Tour through the summer. Four summer events will take place; Sunday, June 14th (noon) South Levittown, Sunday, July 12th (noon) at AMF Commack, Sunday, August 9th (noon) at AMF Babylon, and Sunday, September 13th (1pm) at AMF Garden City. Each event (scratch and handicap) features the same format used in the winter including 1 in 4 making the finals and guaranteed prizes.
 
Two new jackpots will be added during the summer to allow bowlers additional ways of cashing. The first new bonus will be a 300 game jackpot where anyone rolling a 300 game earns bonus money. Obviously, the scratch event requires a 12 strike 300 game but the handicap event requires a 300 game including your handicap! 300 game bonuses for each group begin at $300 (added by LIGBT) and grows after each event. Two dollars of each entry goes to the jackpot allowing it to grow until a 300 game is bowled.
 
The LIGBT will also be introducing a mystery game jackpot that can grow to over $1,000. After each tournament is completed a number between 125 and 300 will be randomly picked by an LIGBT bowler. If anyone bowled that specific scratch score in their last game of qualifying they win the jackpot. The LIGBT will start the mystery game jackpot by adding $300. Two dollars of each entry goes to the jackpot allowing it to grow until the mystery game is hit.
 
There will be several minor changes for the summer events; entry fees will go up $5 to underwrite the new jackpots and put more money into the prize funds. 100% of the $5 increase is being returned to the bowlers. Another change will be the average to compete in the handicap events; it will go from 205 to 210. It has become obvious to the staff that most bowlers averaging between 205 and 210 have a difficult time competing in the scratch tournaments. All guarantees, 1 in 4 making the finals, and top bowlers seeded into the final shootout will remain the same throughout the summer.
 
We hope you can join us during this summer to enjoy quality competition. All membership bonuses, including shirts, balls, and bags will continue. Challenging, but playable, lane conditions is our goal for each event. Please visit our website for additional information; www.ligbtour.com. If you would like to speak to someone directly please call the tournament office at 877.900.6464.

Finishing second with a 206 was Brian Soto who earned $500. The other top finishers were Mike Dioguardo-199 third ($300), Mike Healy of Yonkers fourth-198 ($250), and Rob Grexer of Douglaston, the only lefty in the finals, finishing 5th -152 and taking home $200.
