Armed Forces Open presented by DV8 Bowling - Rondot's ProShop Shootout Series

Squad Times

The next DV8 / Rondot's Pro Shop event is the annual ARMED FORCES OPEN at Maplewood Lanes on FRIDAY, May 25th (Memorial Day Weekend) at 7:30 PM. Entries will close promptly at 7:20 PM that day or when all available entry spots have been paid and it is sold out.

Entry forms can be downloaded from the link on the front page of the Ed Rondot's Pro Shop website. ONLY A PRE-PAID ENTRY WILL HOLD YOUR SPOT.
http://edrondotsproshop.com/

This is a regular Shootout tour stop, so it'll have the usual $40 entry fee and our familiar format. At least one in four bowlers will cash! Three games of handicap score qualifying (80% from 230), changing lanes after each game, with the top 16 to 24 bowlers cashing (depends on number of entries) and possibly advancing to the single-game elimination matches with opponents determined by luck of the draw. Some may cash but not make it into the match play rounds, this is entirely dependent on the actual number of entries. Remember, all Champions in the Shootout Series during this regular season earn a bye into the match play of the DV8 Grand Finale in August which features a $1,000 Champion's prize guaranteed by Maplewood Lanes (must compete in three Shootouts this season to claim the bye).

As always, Brackets and Jackpots will be available. Brackets are $5 each and there will be scratch and handicap versions. Jackpots cost $10 for scratch and/or $10 for handicap, and that covers all 3 games and totals in the qualifying round (we break down the pots 20% for each game and 40% for totals). Number of places paid in the pots depends on number of folks who get in.

We also have a Mystery Game available! $5 to get in. $2 goes towards the first game, $2 for the second game, and $1 for the Cumulative Jackpot for which we draw one number only and carry it over to the next Shootout if nobody claims it.

Get your entry in early if you wish to bowl with family/friends on the same lanes. We will try to accommodate walk-in entries for this request but can't guarantee it - and lately it has been nearly impossible.
There are five ways to enter this Shootout:
1. Drop it off at Ed Rondot's Pro Shop
2. Drop it off at Maplewood Lanes' front counter
3. Hand it to Ed Rondot at the Arbor Valley Summer Travel league on Monday evening
4. Give it to Jennifer Scott at Brighton Bowl, she is our Livingston County staff member.and is fully authorized to accept entries on our behalf.
5. Get an envelope, put a stamp on it, and mail your form and entry fee to Rondot's Pro Shop, 830 Woodland Dr., Saline MI 48176.

DV8 BOWLING has again supplied a brand-new, state-of-the-art bowling ball which we will raffle off during the tournament. The raffle winner will not only get that ball, but also receive free drilling and grips from Ed Rondot himself. The entire package is worth over $200! Proceeds from these DV8 raffles go directly to the Grand Finale prize fund.

Nesbits Open- Andrew Anderson

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Nesbit’s Open – Pittsburgh PA

Over the weekend I participated in this very well-known tournament as a first timer. This tournament has been going on since well before I was even born. The only way I can describe this tournament is with one word; Unique. The format is one I have never seen nor been a part of before. The bowling center has three different bays of eight lanes. For anyone who has bowled in centers like this know how big the difference in bays can be.

Aaron Lorincz Completes Triple Crown at Mayflower Lanes

The Budweiser Michigan Majors Bowling Association’s first Major of the year was held at Mayflower Lanes in Redford March 15-16. One of the MMBA’s youngest stars Aaron Lorincz of Saginaw added his name to the list of Triple Crown winners by defeating Frank Snodgrass of Roseville three games to one at our annual Match Game Championship. Only Gene Stus and Larry Walker have accomplished this feat. Lonnie Jones of Ann Arbor and Ken Wyatt of Sterling Heights paced the field of 43 bowlers with a six game qualifying score of 1442. The cut score to make the 16 man semi-final match game bracket was a 6-game qualifying score of 1243. Frank Snodgrass started match play on Saturday afternoon as the 11th seed and eliminated 6th seed Scott Christie 2-1, 191-210, 238-215, 237-209. Snodgrass faced Abed Daher of Dearborn in his first match on Sunday and won 2-0 in a couple of close games, 236-212, 239-231. In the semi-final round Snodgrass defeated Mike Chism of Farmington Hills 2-0, 239-180, 196-165 to move into the championship match. Aaron Lorincz started match play as the 4th seed and defeated Terry Dockery of Fraser 2-1 in a close match 175-166, 194-211, 244-206. The first match on Sunday Lorincz matched up against Todd Sim of Belle River, Canada. This match couldn’t have been any closer. Lorincz won the first game 236-214 and Sim won game two 214-205. The deciding game came down to the 10th frame. Sim needed a double to win the game and got the first strike, however, came up light on the second shot leaving a 2 pin. With the spare conversion both players ended up tied 254-254. Sim started the 9th & 10th frame roll-off leaving the 3-6 spare and failed to convert. Lorincz stepped up and threw a strike in his 9th frame and 10th to shut the door on Sim 47-39. Lorincz lined up nicely in his semi-final match against Corey Miller of Grand Blanc. Lorincz started with the front 8 in game one to win 259-215, then started with the front 8 in game 2 to win easily 279-233. The championship match is a best 3 out of 5 games and looked like it would be a shootout as Snodgrass captured game 1 280-247. In game two the scores came down for both players as the lanes transitioned with Lorincz grinding out a 214-182 victory to even the match at a game a piece. Lorincz pounded the pocket in game three and was rewarded with a 249-224 win taking a 2-1 lead. In game 4 Lorincz again was in the pocket in game four but couldn’t put strikes together. In the 10th frame Lorincz needed a mark to shut door and missed a 10 pin to open the door for Snodgrass. Snodgrass needed a double in the 10th but came up high on his first ending his day with another 2nd place finish - Snodgrass finished 2nd last month at Sterling Lanes. For Lorincz, this was not only his 5th MMBA title in his young career but also completed the triple crown which includes wins at the Match Game, Championship, and Tournament of Champions. Lorincz received the first place check of $1,000 along with a beautiful trophy provided by Pro Am Bowling and Trophy. Snodgrass received a check for $500 for his 2nd place finish. A big thank you to Vicki Ingham and the rest of the staff at Mayflower Lanes for their support and hospitality. I would also recognize our great sponsors, A.J. Mathews of West Side Distributors, Bill DeFrance of General Maintenance Works, and of course Storm Products.
