Dear Members:

The December tournament is scheduled at Chippewa Bowl on the 16th. The Masters Invitational is scheduled for January at Strikes and Spares in Mishawaka, one shift only. The format for the Masters has been changed based on feedback from last years participants, 8 games of qualifying, top 1/3 cash, top 8 bowl two-game total pinfall single elimination match play to determine the winner. More details in the Masters invite.

We would like to thank Jim Hoover and his staff for hosting us this year at Maple City Bowl. We had 60 bowlers competing for nearly $3,100 in prize money. Mike English and Dale Hudak had the tournament high game with a 300.
