Aug. 6th 2019 O/U Doubles Results
The 2019 Over / Under 50 Doubles was by far our most successful event. We welcome our new Senior bowlers. We are very please with the communities response and at the same time saddened to hear some of our bowlers were not able to bowl due to how fast we were filled to capacity. We’re very pleased also how well our team pulled together to make this event our best, yet we know we have to do better going forward to deal with the high influx of bowlers we had in a very short time frame.
Congratulations to the team of Steve Jakubowski and Charles Easton on winning our Bonus, Special Event, SSO Over / Under 50 Doubles tournament by defeating the past Doubles Champion team of Gerald Johnson and Jordan Hornes in the final match 492 to 343 (team scores). This is Steve’s and Charles’s second Doubles Championship. Steve and Charles took away the $4000.00 top prize and trophy as well as Steve obtaining 10 points towards our 2019 Bowler of the Year race. Our champs qualified in 6th spot with a total pin fall of 2633 and a combined average of better than 219. In Round 3 of Elimination they advanced to Round 4 by just 6 pins with 429 over the team of Stan Filipowski and Craig Johnsn. It turns out that’s a difference of $3450.00 in their pay day as well as a Double Championship Title for these 6 extra pins.
We’d like to also congratulate our past doubles Champions Gerald and Jordan on their second place finish in taking home our second place prize of $2000. This finish will earn Gerald 8 points in our BOTY race. Gerald’s team qualified 3rd with a total combined pin fall of 2684 averaging better than 224.
