With the start of the league bowling season comes the start of tournament bowling season.

 

Once again this year the Metro Detroit USBC Association will offer an Adult/Youth Tournament. The event will be a doubles format with the teams competing for scholarship money only.

 

One adult MDUSBC member and one youth MDUSBC member constitute a team.

 

The cost to enter is $30 per team. All prizes will be awarded in scholarships for the top finishing teams.

 

The tournament will be held Oct. 5 and Oct. 12 at Parkway Lanes in Trenton with squads at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

 

The MDUSBC Doubles Tournament is scheduled to begin Nov. 1 at Bonanza Lanes in Warren . The event runs Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 9.

 

The tournament features a $1,000 first prize, based on 300 entries. The entry fee is $50 per team and payable at the time of submitting the entry blank. Reservations are now being accepted. Squad times on the above days are 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

 

Handicap is based on 90 percent of the difference between team average and 460.

 

On Saturday, Oct. 25 the MDUSBC Junior Masters will be contested at Mayflower Lanes in Redford . This is a scratch event and a Junior Gold qualifier open to MDUSBC youth bowlers.
