EL PASO, Texas - The 2015 United States Bowling

Congress Open Championships will be remembered as

much for its impact on the tournament's record book as it

will for its top scores and on-lane excitement.

A handful of bowlers added to their legacies on the cham-

pionship lanes, while others realized lifelong goals by win-

ning for the first time.

Matt McNiel of Prior Lake, Minnesota, made history this

year at the El Paso Convention Center by becoming the first

bowler in 112 years of USBC Open Championships compe-

tition to win three Regular All-Events titles. Only four other

bowlers, all USBC Hall of Famers, have won the crown

multiple times.z

The 30-year-old left-hander has averaged more than 243

at the Open Championships since his breakout performance

in 2010, and that streak includes four wins, 13 top-10 fin-

ishes, three 800 series and two perfect games.

This year, McNiel rolled sets of 765 in singles, 734 in

doubles and 727 in team to claim the title with a 2,226 total.

He also finished second in Regular Doubles with Charles

Vashaw of Deephaven, Minnesota (1,403), third in Regular

Team as part of Linds Lakers 1 of Minneapolis (3,297) and

tied for ninth in Regular Singles.

"This is very overwhelming right now, but it means so

much to me," said McNiel, who also won Regular All-

Events in 2010 and 2012 as well as Regular Doubles in

2012. "I just want to stand out and prove I can compete. I

want to earn the respect of my peers, ultimately, and I hope

this is another step toward that. This tournament is so spe-

cial, and this is an absolute dream come true."

Anthony LaCaze of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, earned his

spot in tournament history by becoming the second bowler

to win titles in three consecutive years, helping Junior Team

USA Support 1 of Las Vegas to the Team All-Events title

with a 10,064 total.

The 32-year-old right-hander helped the same group to the

Team All-Events win in 2013 and returned to the National

Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nevada, a year later to win

Regular All-Events. He'll share a spot in tournament lore

with USBC Hall of Famer Les Zikes of Palatine, Illinois,

who won in 1962, 1963 and 1964. Zikes is a member of the

60-Year and 100,000-Pin Clubs at the Open Championships

and owns six titles overall.

This year in El Paso, LaCaze contributed a 1,988 all-

events total to the winning score, and he was joined by Erik

Vermilyea (2,083), Matthew Tuckfield (2,048), Steve

Novak (1,982) and Jeffrey Mersch (1,963). The group also

finished second in Regular Team with a 3,359 total.

"This is an honor and an unbelievable feeling," LaCaze

said. "It's hard to find the words to describe it. If it weren't

for my teammates - my team and our companion team - I

wouldn't be in this position, and to be able to share it with

them as the Team All-Events champions makes it even bet-

ter."

In the team event, Adam Barta, Brian Waliczek and for-

mer Team USA members Rob Gotchall and Scott Pohl

found their way to the winner's circle on the biggest stage in

bowling for the first time, while Mike Rose Jr., the 2007

Regular All-Events champion, added a second win to his

resume.

The five came together as Team NABR of West Henrietta,

New York, and an exciting finish live on BowlTV lifted

them to the Regular Team win with a 3,368 total. They had

games of 1,057, 1,123 and 1,188.

Gotchall led the way for Team NABR with a 783 series

and was followed by Rose (697), Waliczek (659), Barta

(636) and Pohl (593).

USBC OpenContinued from Page 1

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old;

we grow old because we stop playing.”

― George Bernard Shaw

"I told the guys last night that

it has hit me, but it hasn't really

hit me," said Gotchall, who fin-

ished second in Regular All-

Events with a 2,181 total and

led Team NABR to a second-

place fin ish in Team All-Events

(9,886). "This is something

we've always dreamed of, but

what we achieved and accom-

pl ished tog ether reall y won 'tsink in until we get there next

year and see the eagles next to

our names on the scoreboard."

The Regular Doubles title

went to Mark Sleeper Jr. of

Kaufman, Texas, and 18-year-

old two-hander Anthony

Simonsen of Princeton, Texas,

who earned the win in just his

third Open Championships

appearance with a 1,409 total.

Sleeper, a 31-year-old right-

hander, led the way with games

of 247, 262 and 235 for a 744

series, while Simonsen, who

attacks the lanes from the right

side, added 204, 236 and 225for a 665 set.

"I've never been in this posi-

tion before, so I wasn't sure

what to think or feel," said

Sleeper, who rolled a perfect

game at the 2014 Open

Championships. "Right now,

there is a combination of disbe-

lief and relief because the wait

is finally over. It's such an

incredible feeling. It's also pret-

ty neat to be able to get togeth-

er with someone as talented as

Anthony and win it."

Ronnie Sparks Jr. of Redford,Michigan, was able to continue

his success in The Sun City, this

time claiming the Regular

Singles title at the El Paso

Convention Center.

The 27-year-old right-hander

put together games of 278 , 246

and 269 for a 793 series, outdis-

tancing more than 35,000

bowler s.

"This is right next to the

national championship with

Wichita, but that's a little dif-

ferent because so much work

goes into that over nine or 10

months, and you get to share it

with others," said Sparks, a for-mer Team USA member and

collegiate standout who helped

Wichita State to the men's title

at the 2010 XBowling

Intercollegiate Team

Championships, also at the El

Paso Convention Center. "This

win is very special, and it's

ironic that it happened in the

same place. It could've been

anyone on any squad who

changed the outcome for me,

but I'm very blessed to have

held on. I'm also fortunate to

have the time and support to beable to bowl and chase my

dreams."

In the Classified Division, the

team trophy will head to

Alexandria, Minnesota, for the

second consecutive year, this

time to Scotty's 3, which earned

the win with a 2,676 total.

The group put together games

of 849, 922 and 905 and added

its name to the record book

beside Sco tty' s 1, which

claimed the title in 2014.

Tyler Grabow led the charge

for Scotty's 3 with a 587 series

and was followed by Marshal

Lagred (586), Brady Erdmann(539), Jed Lye (509) and Alan

Iverson (455).

Lagred continued his momen-

tum in doubles and singles and

found individual success, earn-

ing the Classified All-Events

title with a 1,734 total. He

added 512 in doubles and 636

in singles, which was third

overall.

The Classified Doubles title

went to Vicky and Jamie

Pollard of Versailles, Indiana,

who added to their family lega-

cy at the Open Championships.

Vicky, a 54-year-old right-

hander, led the effort with

games of 165, 243 and 204 for a

612 series, while Jamie, a 26-

year-old right-hander, added

137, 201 and 212 for 550, giv-

ing the pair a 1,162 total.

Pollard's Bowl, which

claimed the 1996 Team All-

Events crown with a record

score of 10,425, included broth-

ers and USBC Hall of Famers

Rick and Ron Pollard.

"It has been a really long wait,

but it has been pre tty exciti ng,

too," Vicky Pollard said. "We're

really looking forward to seeingthe banner hanging in our little

eight-lane bowling center after

it comes down next year."

Finally, for the first time since

the introduction of the

Classified Division in 1999,

there was a tie for first place in

Classified Singles.

Dave Berky of Ely, Nevada,

and Patty Turner of Oak Lawn,

Illinois, shared the top spot

with 642.

Berky, a 49-year-old right-

hander bounced back from a

disappointing doubles effort

with games of 223, 234 and

185. Turner, a 39-year-oldright-hander who throws a

back-up ball , shot 228 , 236 and

178. The two also tied for

fourth place in Classified All-

Events with 1,706.

Individuals in the Classified

Division have entering averages

of 180 and below, doubles

teams have combined entering

averages of 360 and below and

teams must have entering aver-

ages of 900 and below.

Some of the most memorable

moments at the 2015 Open

Championships did not trans-

late to the leaderboard.

On March 18, 92-year-old

Sylvester Thiel of Lake City,

Minnesota, became the third

bowler in his tory to cel ebrate

70 appearances on the champi-

onship lanes. He joined late

USBC Hall of Famers Bill

Doehrman of Fort Wayne,

Indiana, and Joe Norris of San

Diego in the event's elite 70-

Year Club and plans to tie their

par tic ipa tion record of 71 years

next March in Reno.

Less than two weeks after

Thiel's memorable march down

Center Aisle, USBC Hall of Famer and eight-time Open

Championships titlist Bill

Lillard Sr. of Houston became

the tournament's all-time pin-

fall leader.

Knee and hip injuries forced

the 87-year-old right-hander to

use an abbreviated approach

this year in El Paso, but he

reached the record with a strike

during his first game of singles.

He finished his 68th consecu-

tive tournament appearance

with a career pinfall total of

124,087 after surpassing the

previous mark of 123,770 set

by Norr is.During the 2015 event, the

tournament's first visit to El

Paso, two bowlers competed for

the 65th time, one reached 60

years, two eclipsed 100,000

pin s and 12 bowler s became

members of the 50-Year Club.

On the lanes, there were six

perfect games , six 299s and

three 298s. There were 10 other

bowler s to log 11 consecutive

strikes, while no one rolled an

800 series at the El Paso

Convention Center.

The 2015 tournament kicked

off March 7 and ran from 9 a.m.

until approximately 1 a.m. for

127 consecutive days. More

than 7,300 five-player teams

competed in El Paso this year.

has amassed several prestigious bowling titles and honor scores.

He has a been a member of four Championship Teams in the

annual Bahr Supremacy Tournament.

At the New Jersey State level he has won The Doubles

Championship in the 2010 Annual Tournament and the Team

event in 1995.

His 860 series at Howell Lanes ranks as the highest series ever

bowled in in that center's 56 year history. Add to that his 30 300games and 15 800 series and one can see why he has earned this

prestigious award. He has averaged over 230 in each of the last

five seasons and is regarded by many to be one of the best

bowlers in MC.

Mike has also accrued honor scores and tournament wins in

Ocean county.

Lou G Colucci for Meritorious Service

Lou joined the MC Board in 1999 and quickly became a

leader. His first efforts were directed at the Scholarship commit-

tee and establishing the Over/Under Tournament, which is still

successful and fun today.

During his 16 year career on the board, Lou has gone through

the Vice President Chairs for 4 years to become President in

2005 and again in 2009. In 2005, ABC and WIBC merged to

become USBC, and Lou was there to handle those enormous

issues. In 2009, MC USBC BA, WBA and YABA merged, and

Lou was there to deal it.

When Lou was President for the first time, he created a com-

mittee to raise funds for the BVL, which has become a very suc-

cessful endeavor. Lou has chaired the Planning Board for the

past six years, and has been the driving force for change in all

the right places. He has chaired the Budget committee for the

past six years. He also chaired almost every other committee

there is, always leaving that committee in a better position thanit was before.

Lou became a Director of the New Jersey State USBC BA in

2007, having served as a Delegate the previous 3 years and as an

Alternate for 4 years before that. Lou is currently 2nd VP and on

August 1st will be 1st VP on the State Board, having started as

6th VP in 2010. He has been a core member of the NJ State

Championship Tournament for the past 4 years, and co-managed

the tournament in 2009 with Steve Stein. He has been very help-

ful and influential in having the State Tournament in our own

backyard when the committee looks at locations in Central

Jersey.

On the National level, Lou has participated in seven USBC

Conventions as a Delegate.

Ray Vogel Distinguished Service Award

Ray has served on the MC Board of Directors since 1989. In

1998, he became the Secretary/Association Manager for MC

and has served in that capacity to the present day. In 2003, Raywas inducted into the MC USBC Hall of Fame for Bowling

Achievement.

He has attended 26 National Open Championship

Tournaments. And he has attended 10 National Conventions as

a Delegate representing MC every year since 2006.

Ray served MC by becoming an Officer and President and

being a Director and Delegate on the New Jersey State USBC

BA Board. He became a National and New Jersey State leader

on the Bowl.com forum, and today continues to give advice to

new and existing Association Managers and Officers on

Facebook Local, State and National groups.

In MC he deals with every League Secretary and most League

Presidents to help or solve problems. He has earned a reputation

for being fair and helpful.

MC USBC is very proud of Ray’s achievements over his 28

year history with the New Jersey State USBC BA and the MC

USBC boards, and we are very sad that he is resigning as

Association Manager. However, he promises to stay involved

and remain on the board as long as he can.

ARLINGTON, Texas – To encourage more bowlers and

leagues to take advantage of competing on challenging lane

conditions and to improve certified tournament average

integrity, the United States Bowling Congress has made

several enhancements to the Sport Bowling program for the

2015-2016 season, which started Aug. 1.

Leagues choosing to compete on Sport lane patterns now

will have the opportunity to report as a Sport/Challenge

league without submitting lane tapes or requiring bowlers

to purchase membership upgrades. The USBC Sport mem-

bership, including the awards program, will be discontinuedas bowlers no longer will need to purchase a membership

upgrade to compete in Sport leagues.

“We are removing what historically has been noted as the

two largest barriers to participation – the membership cost

for the bowler and the additional work required by those

running Sport leagues – so more leagues can take advantage

of Sport patterns,” USBC Executive Director Chad Murphy

said. “Removing the barriers will improve the average

integrity for all certified tournaments, which is the key rea-

son for the adjustment to the program.”

The Sport Bowling page of BOWL.com re-launched July

1 with complete information and reference materials for

bowlers, league secretaries and proprietors. The page has

Sport Bowling patterns, video tips on how to play certain

Sport patterns, ideas for league formats and more informa-

tion to help start and run a Sport Bowling league.

“USBC will lose some revenue as part of the switch, but

average integrity is important to the future growth of the

sport,” Murphy said. “We also want to encourage bowlers

and leagues to take advantage of any Sport Bowling optionsthey choose. Whether it is PBA Experience, Kegel

Challenge, World Bowling or others, we should see more

competition-level patterns in use because the process will

be as simple as certifying the league with the new designa-

tion with no paperwork or tapes required.”

Starting with the 2015-2016 season, leagues that want to

compete on Sport Bowling conditions will designate as a

Sport/Challenge league on the league application form;

bowlers competing in the league will have a corresponding

icon next to their average for that league.

Because Sport Bowling conditions are more challenging

than typical league conditions, bowler averages on Sport

conditions usually are lower. Designating these leagues

moving forward will assist league and tournament operators

in automatically adjusting averages for a bowler.

The Sport Bowling Average Adjustment Scale also has

been modified, based on data of more than 20,000 averages,

as part of the Sport Bowling makeover. The new chart can

be found here. The scale, of course, does not supersede a

tournament director’s ability to adjust any bowler’s averageupward for a tournament.

The Sport Bowling program started with the 2000-2001

season in response to technology changes in the sport. Sport

Bowling emphasizes the bowler’s ability to make consis-

tently accurate shots and to know when to make necessary

adjustments. Most major USBC events, the PBA Tour,

PWBA Tour and World Bowling events are conducted on

Sport Bowling patterns.
