THE NORTHEAST JUNIOR SCRATCH TOUR

I am No Longer Able to Run Tournaments

2011-11-27T07:25:00.001-05:00

Due to a recent decline in Al's medical condition, I am not comfortable travelling from home to tournaments for a full day.
I would be able to continue doing the paperwork, accounting, and reporting work.
So, in order for the tour to continue with the current season, I need volunteers to actually run the tournaments in the centers.
If no one is able to step up, I will hold a tournament at season end to award what scholarship money has accrued thus far this season and any amounts that have become available through not being claimed.
Please contact me as soon as possible if you are willing to run one or more of the remaining scheduled tournaments.

CHANGE TO CURRENT SCHEDULE

2011-10-21T07:28:00.002-04:00

Due to poor turn-out at this season's first five (5) events (21,19,21,16,12), I have decided to scale back the remaining schedule. The next events will be (as of this posting):
December 4th - cancelled
December 11th - cancelled
January - TBA
February 19th at AMF Silver Lane,East Hartford, CT at 1 PM
March 4th at Auburn AMF, Auburn, MA at 1 PM
April 29th - RI
May 6th at Bowl-O-Rama, Newington, CT at 1 PM

There will not be a Winter Break Tournament this season.

For the time being, divisions are being reorganized. For the remainder of this season they will be Boys 14 and Under, Boys 15-21, and Girls 21 and under.

If entries improve I will be happy to add tournaments back to the schedule. Eligibility for the Championship tournament will be decided at a later date.

General Meeting to be held May 22nd at Tournaments

We will be holding a General Meeting on Sunday, May 22nd, at the year end Championship/BASH Tournaments.

We will be discussing the schedule for next season...number of tournaments, where to be held, how many required for championship participation, entry fee, etc.

I do believe we need to make some changes due to the economic climate...i have noticed it's impact this season.

If anyone would like to post their thoughts/ideas,opinions, there is a thread started on the message board for such.

Results From Springfield Bowl 4/4/10

22 bowlers participated in the event at Springfield Bowl in Springfield Vermont. They bowled on a standard house pattern. High scores for each division were David Rice with a 1295 in the collegiate divison, Jill Goldsworthy with a 1290 in the Girls division, Dustin Netolicky with a 1267 in the Junior Boys division, Dillon Davis with a 1471 in the Major Boys division, and Noah Frankforter with a 1064 in the Preps division. Winners in each division were John White for the Collegiates, Taylor Billington for the Girls, Dustin Netolicky in the Junior Boys, Stephen Rogers in the Major Boys, and Noah Frankforter in the Preps.

Scores for all divisions were typically above average, with most bowlers averaging well over 200. The high average for the day was Dillon Davis of the Major Boys division with a 240 for the 6 games of qualifying. Dillon Davis and Jill Goldsworthy each recieved 70 points for the day, helping them move up in the standings. The reason for scores being so high was because the center didn't use a sport shot like most other stops on the tour do. The bowling alley featured 16, hard wood lanes, and a standard house shot as seen in regular bowling leagues.

Old Friend Does Well...

2009-07-09T17:19:00.000-04:00

Check out bowl.com to see how our old friend Jenn Boisselle has done:

"BOGOTA, Colombia - The Junior Team USA girls won its third gold medal in as many events Wednesday night, claiming the trios title, while the boys settled for the trios silver medal at the 2009 Pan American Bowling Confederation Youth Championships.

The United States trio of Jenn Boisselle, Kristie Petravich and Christine Bator earned the gold medal with a six-game total of 3,765, topping host Colombia by 102 pins.

Junior Team USA's girls, who have already claimed the singles and doubles gold medals, led the Colombians by 140 pins heading into the final game and held off a final push to earn the gold.

"All of our nerves started to come back that last game," Boisselle said. "We saw the Colombians start stringing strikes, so we were definitely nervous. We just had to bowl our game and it worked out for us."

Boisselle led the group with a 1,309 individual total, an average of better than 218 per game. Petravich added 1,236, while Bator shot 1,220."

Jenn's a "service brat". She bowled with us the year her family was stationed in New England. We all missed her when they transferred to Florida. She is now bowling there for College.

Rebekah Finishes 2nd in USBC Clash of Champions!!

2009-05-01T16:21:00.001-04:00

According to USBC Communications:

Chris Barnes, who earned his way into the Clash by being the 2007-08 Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year, defeated collegiate bowler Rebekah Diers of Kingston, N.Y., in the man versus woman title match 257-207 Thursday at the Reno Events Center.

The victory didn't come easy for Barnes, however, as Diers, who bowls collegiately at McKendree, put him on his heels early in the match. Diers opened the game with four consecutive strikes before leaving the 2-4-10 split and converting it. In the seventh frame, however, she left the 4-6-7-10 split to effectively end her upset bid.

Barnes, meanwhile, started with a strike and a spare before rattling off six consecutive strikes, one of which was a Brooklyn. Needing a mark in the final frame to win, Barnes crushed the pocket for a strike.

Barnes took home $50,000 for his victory, while Diers earned $25,000 for finishing second. It was an experience Diers said she will never forget. In the semifinals, Diers eliminated Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y.

No Outside Food Allowed at Striker's East

2009-03-12T15:23:00.000-04:00

The management of Striker's East has asked me to remind all bowlers and parents that they have a nice snack bar and they do NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK in the center.

Last year some folks that were asked to dispose of their outside food evidently got mad and threw it at the center's door windows. Such behavior will not be tolerated by our organization. Anyone caught behaving in such a manner will be banned from future participation in the tour.

New message board to post thoughts about USBC's latest changes to the Junior Program and ideas as to what changes, if any, we should make to our program as a result of them.

For now this is a "free" board so we'll have to put up with the ads.

USBC Youth program to make several changes

2009-02-16T21:13:00.000-05:00

2/13/2009 By Terry Bigham, USBC Communications

In an effort to provide a more efficient and rewarding system, the United States Bowling Congress will implement several changes in the USBC Youth program starting with the 2009-10 season.

The USBC Board of Directors, based on recommendations by the USBC Youth Committee, approved several major changes to the structure of current USBC Youth programs. As participation in youth sports is on the rise in America, the changes set forth for USBC Youth programs will attract more youth bowlers to participate in certified league play.

The changes will affect how memberships are processed, offer a new short-season membership product, restructure the awards program and lower the maximum age for youth bowlers.

Membership delivery and processing
Youth bowling represents the future of USBC; therefore, it is vitally important to make it easy for youth league bowlers to become USBC Youth Members. Starting with the 2009-10 season, changes to the membership delivery and processing structure will be put in place to expand the reach of the USBC Youth program.

In the new membership delivery system, bowling centers will have the option to directly process memberships, averages and awards to USBC. In many areas, local associations will continue that function; however, with this change, bowling centers now have the ability to decide whether to take sole responsibility for youth processing, or continue to work with local associations as they have in the past.

Additional details concerning the new USBC Youth programs will be released once they are finalized.

Membership options
In the past, USBC Youth membership consisted of two products, USBC Youth Standard and USBC Junior Gold. Starting in the 2009-10 season, a third product - USBC Youth Basic Membership - has been added.

USBC Youth Basic Membership will cost $5 and be available to all youth who bowl in a league that meets for 12 sessions or less. The Youth Basic Membership benefits include:
           ° USBC Youth Membership Card
           ° One issue of US Youth Bowler
           ° USBC recognized average
           ° The ability to participate in USBC certified tournaments
           ° League award emblems
           ° Purchasable awards

In addition, USBC Youth Standard Membership will continue to be offered. The cost of the Standard membership will be fixed at $17 nationwide. This membership option will be available to all youth, regardless of the length of the league. The current benefits to the Youth Standard Membership are:
           ° USBC Youth Membership Card
           ° Four issues of US Youth Bowler
           ° USBC recognized average
           ° Ability to participate in USBC certified tournaments
           ° Revamped youth awards program

In addition to these benefits, the Youth Development Team is pursuing additional membership benefits for the Standard Membership that will be announced at a later date.

Junior Gold Membership will continue to have a $30 membership fee and include an upgrade to Sport Bowling Membership; however, for 2009-10, the average requirement has been adjusted to make this elite-level program available to a larger number of the top male and top female youth bowlers.

The new average requirement for girls has been adjusted to 150, while the requirement for boys will remain at 175. The change in average requirement was necessary to extend the program to an equal percentage of the top male and top female youth bowlers.

Youth Awards Program
The Youth Awards Program will undergo significant changes for the 2009-10 league season. These changes represent USBC's response to feedback from associations, bowling centers and youth coordinators across the country.

The new structure will better match awards to the skill level of the youth bowler. An increased number of special achievement awards have been added to the lineup, raising the total number of awards offered to 25, up from 18.

USBC Youth will offer average-based awards for achievement in certified competition in 25-pin intervals for games and 50-pin intervals for series. Awards will be limited to one per season, per achievement. Once an award has been earned in any classification, bowlers are only eligible for the higher awards on a progressive merit basis.

Special achievement awards will be available to bowlers 12 and under, and these awards will carry the Bowlopolis theme and characters. The emblems will include recognition for a 50, 75 and 100 game as well as a 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 series. For a bowler to earn any of these awards, he or she must average below the award score. For example, a bowler with a 49 average can earn the 50-game emblem.

Special achievement awards for all bowlers also have been updated. All bowlers are eligible to earn emblems starting with a 125 game. Game-score emblems continue in 25-pin increments up to a 275 game. Also, series awards begin at 300 and are offered in 50-pin intervals up to a 750 series.

All of the emblems will carry new USBC designs for the 2009-10 league season.

For the 2009-10 league season, USBC has revamped the High Score Awards Program. Youth members who bowl a 300 game, 800 series or 900 series will receive a newly-designed USBC honor score ring to commemorate their special achievement. Also, a new award has been designed for bowlers who roll 11 strikes in a row.

Maximum age
Starting with the 2009-10 league season, USBC Youth membership will be available to bowlers who have not reached their 20th birthday on or before Aug. 1 of the current bowling season.

2008-12-07T16:20:00.001-05:00

Our latest tournament, at Westgate Lanes, Brockton, MA, fielded 62 competitors. On a tough 43' sport condition only 2 bowlers averaged 200 - Danny Khuu (MA) and Rai Doblmeier (RI) with series of 1240 and 1239, respectively. Rai Doblmeier also rolled the 257 high game of the day.

Nick Sauve (MA) won the Shoot-Out. The Mystery Score was not hit so the jackpot increases and rolls over to the next event.

Rai Doblmeier and Ryan Graywacz advance to the Jr. Gold National Tournament to be held in Indianapolis next July.

North Bowl, N. Attleboro, MA

2008-11-27T14:43:00.000-05:00

The November 2nd tournament was re-scheduled at nearly the last minute to North Bowl. The new owners are doing a lot of work on the center. They were very accomodating. I look forward to more events being held there.

On a modified sport condition, Tom Hedding (MA) rolled the 268 high game. Two bowlers averaged 200+: Ryan Evans (MA) 1239 and Matt Peter (MA) 1214. Matt Peter won the Shoot-Out. Ryan Evans was the Jr. Gold National qualifier.

Brattleboro Bowl, Brattleboro, VT - 10/19/08

2008-11-27T11:21:00.000-05:00

Our first Vermont event this season drew 23 bowlers to Brattleboro Bowl on October 19th.

On a challenging sport condition Ryan Graywacz (Enfield, CT) was the only bowler to average over 200 during the six games of qualifying with a 1265 series. However, he was defeated in the Major Boys' (ages 15-17) final match by Chris Colella (Templeton, MA). Josh Regnier (Enfield, CT) was third.

Noah Frankforter (Cheshire, CT) had a great day. He won the Shoot-Out, hit the Mystery Score for one half the jackpot, and won the Prep Division (11 and under) defeating Josh McCart (Hoosick Falls, NY) in the final match. Dakota Fleury (Plainfield, VT) was the third place finisher.

Joey Wolfrum (Hoosick Falls, NY) was the Junior Boys Division (12-14).

Jill Goldsworthy (Barre, VT) nearly ran the step-ladder in the Girls Division (12-21) only to fall to the current points leader Alexandra Kiesman (N Attleboro, MA) in the final match. Brianna Amidon (Pittsfield, MA) finished third.

In the Collegiate Boys Division (18-21) Ryan Evans (Acton, MA) won gold. Russell Hagan (Kingston, NH) received the silver medal.

We will be returning to Brattleboro on April 12th at which time the bowlers will be challenged with three differing PBA sport oil patterns - Cheetah (35'), Viper (37'), and Shark (44'). Each bowler will play 2 games on each condition.

Tournaments #1-20 Now USBC Certified

2008-10-24T07:26:00.000-04:00

Based on responses in the discussion on the message board and phone calls I have received, I notified USBC that we would be willing to certify our medal tournaments #1-20. That has been done and we have a new certification certificate reflecting that change.

The Winter Break and Championship/BASH tournaments will not be certified as we will not be using SMART to manage our scholarship money.

Basically, the only change that will effect us will be that the bowlers are now eligible for what awards are left being given by USBC.

Brian Graham from USBC will be following your responses in the message board regarding the awards program. So...here's your opportunity to possibly make a difference in the scheme of things.

USBC wants opinions...

2008-10-20T19:23:00.001-04:00

I spoke at length with Brian (and Gary) at USBC this afternoon.

The long and short of it all is that we must certify our medal tournaments (all but the Winter Break and Championship/Bash Tournaments) in order to qualify Jr Gold advancers this season. Unless I hear opinions to the contrary, I see no reason not to do so.

After our talk, I received the following e-mail from Brian Graham, in which he re-iterates a request he had made to me during our discussions. He wants in-put from youth and parents alike about the types of awards they would like to see for junior bowlers and the scores that should be necessary to obtain such awards.

Brian Graham to kathimccaw@gmail.com 5:01pm

Kathi,

I thank you for taking time to speak with us today. We really do want to work with you to provide the very best tournament opportunities for youth bowlers, and I have a great deal of appreciation for the work that you do.

Please make sure that you get me some feedback on the USBC Youth awards program. We are currently in the process of reviewing that program, and I am looking for information from the field. Ideally, I would like to know what type of awards the youth bowlers are looking for and the scores required to earn those awards. As you know, the program needs changes.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Brian
817-524-4473 (temp office)

I will be starting a thread on the message board. I hope everyone will chime in with their opinions, suggestions, etc. regarding a re-vamped youth bowler awards program so that we can send them on to Brian....

NOV 2ND TOURNAMENT LOCATION CHANGE

2008-10-18T11:01:00.001-04:00

I have been notified by AMF Silver Lanes that they will be unable to host our Nov 2nd tournament. I am not able to move it up the following weekend as I will be out of town.

(To compensate they are giving us a break on lineage for the Winter Break Tournament in December. That will increase the scholarships we will be able to award!)

We will be holding the November 2nd tournament at North Bowl Lanes in N. Attleboro, MA. I understand it is under new ownership/management - for anyone who remembers the disaster we had there a few years ago. They have booked us for 1PM.

Please pass the word about this change.

USBC is starting again!!!!

2008-10-16T19:55:00.000-04:00

I received the following e-mail this morning:

Dear Kathi McCaw,

USBC has received information indicating that the NEJST Tour has been offering Junior Gold Qualifiying events as a side event within NEJST tournaments. The evidence suggests that scores from non-USBC certified NEJST events are being taken and used in a secondary competition, a USBC certified Junior Gold Qualifier.

Junior Gold and USBC rules do not allow the scores from non-certified competitions to be submitted into a USBC certified competition. (See USBC Rule 302b)

In order to determine the compliance of the NEJST Junior Gold Qualifiers (USBC certification # 04307) with Junior Gold and USBC rules we are requesting the following information be submitted for any Junior Gold qualifier where spots for the 2009 event were awarded.

1 - A complete listing of the participants and their JG qualifying scores in each 2009 qualifying event.

2 - The standings for the respective NEJST tour events that were scheduled at the same date and time as the Junior Gold qualifier.

We request that this information be submitted to USBC by October 29, 2008. It can be submitted via e-mail to gary.schmit@bowl.com, by fax to 817-633-3810 or by mail to USBC, 621 Six Flags Drive, Arlington, TX 76011.

If it is determined that the qualifying events for the 2009 USBC Junior Gold Championships are in violation of Junior Gold and USBC rules, we will have no alternative but to void the results of these events and notify the participants they must qualify for the 2009 USBC Junior Gold Championships through another event.

Until this investigation is concluded, any further requests for additional Junior Gold spots will be held.

Your timely compliance with this request is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Gary Schmit
USBC Youth Tournament Manager

and I responded with the following:

Gary:

Needless to say I was quite surprised to receive your e-mail today. I thought this situation had been settled two years ago. And as far as I am aware USBC's rules in this regard have not changed since that time.

Please reference the e-mail, copied below, from Maureen Vicena dated 9/21/06 in which she informed me that USBC had OK'd our Jr Gold Qualifiers. Nothing in our tour has changed since that time.

Please let me know if you still require further documentation of some sort.

Kathi:

It was very nice to speak with you today.

As we discussed, you have "two parts" of qualifying going on during your tour stops. On one "set" of lanes are JG athletes competing for the chance to advance to Buffalo (ratio of 1:5.... separate divisions if you have enough in a gender). The other "set" of lanes are non-JG athletes still bowling the six games of qualifying. After both "sets" have bowled their six games, all scores are combined and the top 5 (additional advancers if more than 15 athletes enter your event) go to a stepladder finals were only medals are given out. At no time are scholarships awarded during these stops.

The June event is the Year End tournament. This tournament is only comprised of athletes that have bowled 7 or more of the "tour stops". It is not based on points, etc. However... at this event there are scholarships awarded. You have indicated that you do not wish to use SMART for the scholarships. Thus, this specific event could not be certified since you will not be using SMART. The individual stop CAN be totally certified if you choose since no scholarships are being awarded and the awards are in compliance with Rule 400 (i.e. medals). But that choice is up to you.

The individual tour stops are still recognized by Junior Gold. These "sets of lanes" that are earmarked for Junior Gold are also covered by USBC since you have certified those initial 6 games.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Bowl with US

Results from Delmar, NY

2008-10-14T19:01:00.000-04:00

October 5th we were at Del Lanes, Delmar, NY. Marvin, as usual, put out a fairly difficult US Open pattern for us. We had 40 entries. Collegiate Alex Weglarz (NY) was the only bowler to average 200 for the day with a 1228 series. Russell Hagan, the previous event's Collegiate Division winner, had the high game of 276.

The Shoot-Out was won by Stephen Rogers (NY). The Mystery Score was not hit thus the scholarship jackpot grows to $107 for our next event.

Three Jr Gold bowlers advanced to the National Tournament to be held next July in Indianopolis: Chris Dziengiel, Tory Jansen, and D.J. Quesnell.

In the Prep Division, Josh McCart (NY) placed 1st, Dakota Fleury (VT), 2nd, and Taylor LeClair (NY), 3rd.

Town Line Ten-Pin Results

2008-10-14T18:37:00.001-04:00

September 21st found us in Malden, MA at Town Line Ten-Pin for our 2nd tournament of the season. 40 bowlers competed on a house shot. The high game of 290 was thrown by Jr Boys Division's Qwadaris Rembert (RI).
Collegiate Danny Khuu (MA) was the high qualifier for the day with games of 259-225-201-247-277+242 for a very nice 1451 series!

In the Jr Boys Division Nick Sauve (MA), pictured far right, captured the gold medal. Vincent Borowy (RI), won the silver medal.

Bobby Pacuk (RI), pictured on the left, finished with the bronze medal.

In the Girls Division:
Nicole Trudell (RI), on the right, defeated Alley Kiesman (MA), center, to win the gold. Jadee Scott-Jones (RI), left, earned the bronze medal.

This season the Girls and Jr Girls Divisions have been merged. The Jr Girls are holding their own and winning medals!

Major Boys Division:
Cameron Lawson (VT), right, claimed first place. Shane Fleury (VT), center, was second. Ryan Graywacz (CT),
left, was third.

In our Prep Division, finishing in first place with the gold medal was Bryan Bourget (RI), right. Jordan Lewis (RI), center finished second. And Noah Frankforter (CT), left, placed third.

And our Collegiate Boys Division! Like that picture? They didn't hang around to have it snapped. However, Russell Hagan (VT) defeated Danny Khuu (MA) to win the gold medal. Rai Doblmeier (RI) finished in third place.

Al's Surgery Went Well

Al's cervical fusion today went well. He looks fine tonight. And he should be coming home tomorrow.

Fourth Season Opener

2008-09-14T12:18:00.005-04:00

47 junior bowlers competed in our fourth season opener on a modified Shark pattern at Lang's AMF in Cranston, RI, on September 7th. Four bowlers averaged 200+ for the six games of qualifying: Alex Weglarz (NY) 1231, Shane Reid (CT) 1228, Michael Leyva (CT) 1209, and Ryan Evans (MA) 1207. The 258 high game was rolled by Chris Colella (MA)

Bryan Bourget (RI), pictured on the right, won the gold medal. Noah Frankforter (CT), who left before getting his picture taken, took the silver medal. Dakota Fleury (VT), pictured to the left, won the bronze medal.

In the Junior Boys Division (ages 12-14) competing in his first NeJST event Qwadaris Renbert (RI), above right, won the gold medal. Nicholas Sauve (MA), above center, took the silver medal. Bobby Pacuk (MA), above left, finished with the bronze medal.

This year the girls and junior girls divisions have been merged. If this event was any indicator it looks as though the competition may have brought out the best in all. 12-year-old Jackie Evans, just out of the Prep Division, began the qualifying with a 214 personal high game. She missed the cut for step-ladder finals by five (5) pins. Other 12 year olds, in their first competition against the "older" girls were Jadee Scott-Jones (RI) and Gazmine Mason (RI) who qualified 5th and 4th respectively. Jadee, pictured above center, won the silver medal running the ladder defeating Gazmine, Tori Whetstone (RI), and Nicole Trudell (RI) (above left, bronze medalist), only to fall to Alley Kiesman (MA), above right, in the title match.

Mike Leyva, on the right, qualified first in the Major Boys Division and won the gold medal by defeating Chris Colella, on the left, in the final step-ladder match. Jason Norman (MA) in his NeJST debut finished with the bronze medal.

In the Collegiate Boys Division, Alex Weglarz, above right, won the gold. Shane Reid, above center, won the silver medal. Ryan Evans took the bronze medal.

Shane Reid, Nicole Trudell, and Alex Weglarz were the advancers in the Jr Gold Qualifier. Jason Brunelle won the Shoot Out. Several bowlers hit the mystery score (154 this week) but weren't playing the game, thus the Mystery Score Jackpot increases again.

Our second tournament will be held Sept. 21st at Town Line Ten-Pin, Malden, MA.

NeJST's 4th Season Beginning

2008-09-06T08:59:00.000-04:00

Tomorrow is the start of the season at Lang's AMF in Cranston, RI. Entry fee, as usual, will be $20 for the regular event and $50 for the Jr Gold Qualifier (must have at least 6 entries to be held).

Registration begins around noon (I usually show up by eleven). With storm Hannah racing thru here this evening through very early Sunday morning, I'm assuming the roads will be passable. I plan to leave home at 9am.

Please remember our dress code. Collared or mock-collared shirts. Neat pants/shorts.

Drive safely.
