Hudsonville Lanes in Hudsonville, Michigan is hosting a 12-game marathon tournament on Saturday, May 12, 2012. This is looking to be a big money event with $60 from each entry going into the prize fund. This is a singles event. ***MyBowlingBlog.com will be donating all of the proceeds from the site from now (January 30, 2012) until the day the event is run (May 12, 2012). This extra money will be added directly into the prize fund. It looks like DV8 bowling will be donating two balls for this event. One will be given as a prize to a bowler, while the other will be raffled off, with all of the proceeds going into the prize fund.

Now what you’ve been waiting for… The Important Details:

Payout – 1 in 5

Entry Fee – $85 ($24 Lineage, $1 Expenses, $60 Prize Fund)

Pots, Brackets, Super Brackets, King of the Hill 1-4, 5-8 games, and 4th/8th game doubles will be available.

Pattern – Modified House Pattern

There will be 15 minute breaks after the 4th and 8th games. Also scores will be tallied up during that point to announce high scores and low to cash scores.

MyBowlingBlog.com is currently working with the tournament directors on obtaining naming rights for this event.

***MyBowlingBlog.com makes most of its money through sales on BowlingBall.com. If you follow the links to BowlingBall.com through my site and make an order, 3% of that revenue generated goes to me. I will be donating all of the income generated from now until the tournament.

The first college tournament of the 2009 – 2010 season was this past weekend, the SWIBC Fall Singles Classic. The first team tournaments of the season start this coming weekend.

On Saturday, September 26 is the American Heartland Intercollegiate Bowling Conference Tournament #1. Last year’s men’s champion was Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU), led by tournament leader Tony Sambueno. Davenport University won on the women’s side, led by tournament leader Amy Salee.

The Sin City Open will take place on Saturday and Sunday, the 26th and 27th. The defending champion is the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV), led by Brandon Allred and Kris George, who went 1-2 to lead the tournament.

The inaugural Kentucky Collegiate Team Classic will take place on Sunday, September 27th. This event is only open to Kentucky colleges.

These tournaments get the season started, but the real kickoff will take place on October 3rd and 4th. The 39th Annual Midwest Collegiate Championships will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is the first Tier I tournament of the year, and it is one that everyone looks forward to. This is the tournament where everyone brings their best and gets to see how they match up this year against everyone else. Many collegiate bowlers consider it to be one of the best tournaments of the year.

900 Global Releases Remote Control Ball

900 Global has released the RC900, a remote control bowling ball and they are taking orders for it right now. AMF / 900 Global has set the cost for the ball at $1500. You can also lease the ball for $140 / month (24-month minimum). This doesn’t seem very practical, but it is pretty awesome to watch. They seem to market it toward bowling centers to rent it out to younger bowlers that have a problem keeping it on the lane. You’ll have to check out the videos to see for yourself.
