Syracuse loses out to
El Paso for the
2015 Open Championships
The United States Bowling Congress announced Sept. 9 that the 2015 USBC Open
Championships will be held in El Paso, Texas, marking the first time in a decade the tournament will travel to a brand new host city. El
Paso beat out Syracuse and Las Vegas for the
marquee tournament.
After a successfully hosting the USBC
Women’s Championships last spring, Syracuse put in a bid for the 2015 Open Championships, which would have been held at the
Oncenter. USBC Open officials also toured
the Oncenter facility last spring. But in the
end, the USBC decided to award the Open
Championships to El Paso.
The 2015 event will be the 112th edition of
the USBC Open Championships, which has
been held in 48 cities in 26 states since its inception in 1901. The last time the tournament
ventured to a new city was 2005, when it was
held in Baton Rouge, La., also its first visit
to Louisiana. The 2012 Open Championships
will be hosted by Baton Rouge.
The USBC said the biggest reason El Paso
was selected is it was the only bidding city
that would be a new destination for Open
Championships bowlers. Surveys show that
many Open Championships bowlers like to
see new cities, and the 2005 event featured a
sellout field of 13,222 five-player teams.
“The city of El Paso really rolled out the
red carpet for the bowlers and staff during
the Women’s Championships in 2010, and
we’re excited about being able to return
with the Open Championships in 2015,” said
USBC Executive Director Stu Upson. “The
event has been to many different places over
the years, and it will be great to add another
amazing city to the list.”
After hosting the 2010 USBC Women’s
Championships at the El Paso Convention
and Performing Arts Center, the city of El
Paso made a strong proposal to hold the 2015
Open Championships in the same venue. The
offer was accepted with the full support of
the USBC Board of Directors.
“The venue in El Paso played a huge role
in the history of the Women’s Championships as the event’s first convention-center
build,” said Brian Lewis, USBC’s Managing
Director of Tournaments. “Along with the Intercollegiate Team Championships, Queens
Chetney wins state singles title
Margie Chetney, of Baldwinsville, bested
the top scratch bowlers in the state to win
the Singles title at the 75th annual New York
State USBC Women’s Bowling Association
Championship Tournament last spring.
Chetney placed first with a 769 series,
which she rolled in April at Transit Lanes,
Williamsville. The right-hander fired games
of 244, 266 and 259, but had to wait a month
to see if her score would hold up. The tournament ended May 22. Chetney cashed $400.
Chetney’s state singles event crown completed a stellar 2010-11 season. At The PostStandard Women’s Masters in February at
Bowl Mor Lanes, Chetney rolled a 298 game
in qualifying to tie the tournament’s singlegame record. The following weekend, she
made Masters history by firing 12 straight
strikes during the first game of match play
for the first-ever perfect game in tournament
play. Her 542 two-game total set another
tournament record for high series.
Chetney added another perfect game the
next day at the Masters, and her 544 twogame total bettered her previous record. She
averaged 234.6 for the tournament and finished ninth.
At the USBC Queens Championships in
April at the Oncenter, Chetney qualified for
double-elimination match play, earning the
last spot (64th place) with a 2,915 total for 15
games. She lost her first two matches, to hall
of famer Carolyn Dorin-Ballard and USBC
Women’s Tournament champion Jodi Woessner. Chetney cashed $750.
Chetney was also featured in an article in
the April issue of the Bowlers Journal Magazine. The article mentioned Chetney’s two
300 games in the Masters tournament, as well
as the city of Syracuse hosting the USBC
Women’s Championships.

and other events, our previous stay in El Paso
couldn’t have been any smoother, and we
know our return to El Paso will be another
success.”
Known as “The Sun City” because of more
than 300 days of sunshine each year, El Paso
treated the bowlers and their families to a fantastic experience during the 2010 Women’s
Championships, and officials are confident
that Open Championships bowlers will have
the same great stay in west Texas.

Sellin retires from SBA board of directors
Len Sellin made up his mind last season.
After 40 years of service with the Syracuse Bowling Association,
Sellin decided to step down as a director. He had the longest tenure
of any active director on the SBA board before he officially retired
last July.
“I didn’t anticipate staying on for 40 years when I started,” Sellin
said. “The time was right to step aside and let the younger guys take
over.”
Sellin served on almost every committee throughout his years
with the SBA, most recently as chairman of the nominating committee. During his tenure, he was the chair of the BVL, League
Officers Tournament, Champion of Champions, City Tournament,
Budget and Finance and Hearing and Rating (which looks into misappropriation of funds). He also was the SBA president in 1985-86.
Sellin has pretty much seen and done it all within the local bowling community, including roll
a 300 game at the age of 78 in 2008. Sellin, who also was a league secretary for years, continues
to enjoy the game as he bowls in three senior leagues every week.
Sellin recently took the time to reflect on his time with the SBA and shared his thoughts a
variety of topics.
How he got his start with the SBA: “At that time, there were eight candidates and I was up
against some stiff competition. I never expected to be elected. But I got the most votes, which
was a surprise to me. I thought I’d stay for a few years but as the years went on, I was asked
to be on this committee and that committee. I always tried to do my best. It was a privilege to
serve.”
The best part of being a director: “I made a lot of friends and new acquaintances that I
wouldn’t have made if I hadn’t been involved as a director. It also made me a better bowler
because I was around so many good bowlers and saw what kind of equipment they used. I also
bowled in more tournaments. I wouldn’t have done that unless I was involved in the association.”
Juggling work and bowling: “I worked for 40 years and was an industrial engineer at Carrier
for 25 years. I did the best I could with my schedule. I was supposed to be SBA president in
1984-85 but had to relinquish it to Don Gates because of my job. But in 1985, I took over. I used
to bowl one night a week when I worked, but after I retired, I started bowling more.”
Biggest disappointments: “There are two things. What happened and the situation with (former SBA secretary) Linda Stachnik, and the loss of bowlers over the years. There’s also a lack
of commitment for some with being a SBA director. We’d elect four people but by the end of the
season only one would be left.”
The way it was: “There used to be factory leagues. Carrier alone sponsored four bowling
leagues. I was secretary for the Eastwood Merchants League at the Sports Center and we bowled
in shifts, 16 teams at 7 p.m. and 16 teams at 9 p.m. When I was chairman of the League Officers
Tournament in 1975, we had to turn bowlers away because we didn’t have enough lanes. The
city used to have 20,000 bowlers. Now we have 5,000. It’s been a comedown over the years.”

to
those
who volunteer
The efforts of our local bowling associations
revolve around a dedicated group of individuals who volunteer their time to promote the

Frank Sorbello, of North Syracuse, was
among the nearly 370 bowlers that took part
in the 2011 USBC Senior Championships

Soutar is Senior Tour leader for appearances
Dave Soutar of Bradenton, Fla., the only player ever to win both the USBC Masters and
USBC Senior Masters, extended his record for appearances in PBA Senior Tour events to
250 tournaments by competing in the 2011 season-finale in Dayton, Ohio in August.
Soutar, who turned 71 on March 7, is an 18-time PBA Tour champion and seven-time
PBA Senior Tour winner. For his entire career beginning in 1961, Soutar has bowled in
a total of 1,109 PBA events (661 PBA Tour, 93 regionals, 105 senior regionals and 250
Senior Tour).
In the overall tournament race, the all-time leader is Ernie Schlegel of Vancouver, Wash.,
with a grand total of 1,165 appearances (829 PBA Tour, 218 regionals, 92 Senior Tour and
26 senior regionals).
Schlegel was the owner of the all-time PBA Tour participation record until Tom
Baker of King, N.C., quietly assumed to the leadership position during the 2010-11
Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour season. By competing in the 2011 PBA Tournament of
Champions, U.S. Open, Mark Roth GEICO Plastic Ball Championship and Dick Weber
PBA Playoffs, Baker increased his total number of PBA Tour events to 831, two more
than Schlegel. Baker has a combined 1,107 PBA tournament appearances (168 regionals,
70 Senior Tour and 38 senior regionals), which ranks third on the all-time list, two behind
Soutar. Dale Eagle is fourth with 1,019 events (691 PBA Tour, 76 regionals, 182 Senior
Tour and 70 senior regionals).

A message from the SBA President
John Rougeau
I’d like to welcome you back to what I hope will be a
successful season for us all! It’s that time to meet back
up with all our bowling friends that we haven’t seen
over the summer and an opportunity to make new acquaintances. And maybe for a few, try something new
on the lanes or make changes to our equipment.
As you most likely have heard by now, our former
State Associations have merged into one. New York
State is one of only a handful of states that have taken the lengthy steps to merge. Now that the state has
merged, the door is open for any association to take
the necessary steps to merge as well. Our association
has a committee in place and will be meeting with the
SWBA and Youth Associations to discuss when and if it’s right for our membership to
merge. We will keep everyone posted on this topic as we move forward.
Our annual BVL collection to support our local veterans at the VA hospital is moving
back to the original collection month of November. Your house representatives from the
SWBA and SBA will be collecting in every league. On behalf of all the veterans we have
supported over the years, I know they greatly appreciate your continued support!
Make sure you keep in touch with us throughout the season by picking up a free copy of
The CNY Striker, on our Facebook account or visiting our association’s website, www.
syracusebowling.com.
The CNY Striker has a fresh new look this year that I hope will meet your approval. We
must thank every bowling center and pro shop along with our ad sponsors for making
it possible for us to bring the paper to you. With the lack of local support, The CNY
Striker is our only consistent source for up-to-date bowling news. New ads are always
welcome. Just contact the association office for information.
Have you seen our annual yearbook? If not, I invite you to take a look at our official
Association Yearbook, which is a joint effort between the three local associations. Much
effort went into completing the yearbook so it would be ready before the start of the
season in August.
Inside the yearbook you’ll find your average(s) from last season, award scores and tournament history along with our sponsor ads. Your league secretary has a copy for you
to review. We have a limited number of books for sale at the SBA office for a minimal
price. Any discrepancy should be brought to the attention of your league secretary and
the association office for corrective action.
In closing, I welcome you to contact us at any time with comments, suggestions or general bowling inquires. To contact us at the office, our phone number is 488-3761 or by
email at sbowling@twcny.rr.com. The office is open Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. I look forward to seeing you on the lanes!
A message from the Syracuse Bowling Association
With a new season upon us, SBA association manager Sandy Argus wanted to pass along
some pertinent information to association members.
USBC sanctioning
The USBC requires that bowlers complete a sanction application card for each league the
first time they participate in it. Please note that many leagues have rules for failure to comply with this rule. It’s the team captain’s responsibility to make sure the sanction card is
turned into the league secretary.
If you are a bowler that has paid their sanction in another Association, then you only need
to pay the $9 Syracuse Local Association dues. This also applies for ladies that are sanctioned through the SWBA and bowling in a SBA league.
When completing sanction cards, be sure your information is current and correct. This is the information the
USBC uses when mailing your sanction cards back to
you. Once the sanctions are processed at the national
level, every bowler can access their own records at bowl.
com. They can also print their own sanction card!
Familiarize yourselves with the USBC rules via bowl.
com. Often rules are changed and/or updated so make
sure you’re following the latest version.
If you have any questions, the SBA office is open Tuesday
through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Our phone number is
488-3761 and our email is sbowling@twcny.rr.com.
Thank you and good luck this season,
Sandy Argus

A look back in history:
1932 Markson Furniture team
by John Savage
One of the local teams to compete in the USBC Women’s Championships were the Syracuse
Strikers. (Left to right): Donna Wilson, Betty Bathke, Fran Piraino, Ann Marie Hotaling and
Elizabeth Bury.
During the 1927-28 bowling season, the Commercial League had 32 teams which made
it the largest league in the United States. It later expanded to 72 teams and became the largest traveling league in the United States. In 1939, the league bowled at the Jefferson Bowling Academy and became the largest bowling league to bowl under one roof in the world.
On February 9, 1932, the Markson Furniture team became the first team in the history
of the Syracuse Bowling Association to bowl over 1,200 for a game. Starting with Greg
Griffo in the sixth frame, they rolled 26 consecutive strikes. The alleys at that time had no
arrows or dots, only the foul line.
The team members all bowled with a two fingered bowling ball. Team members and
their scores were; Bill Shaul -263, Tony Malone-247, Frank Turco-209, Sam Pasquale-214
and Greg Griffo-279 for a team score of 1,212.
Creative team names highlight
Women’s Championships
Naming your bowling team isn’t always easy unless you have a team sponsor and you just use
that name. At the 2011 USBC Women’s Championships, there was an array of creative team
names among the 6,000 that competed. Here’s a sample of some unique monikers.

S e p t e mber 2011
While the USBC Women’s Championships is now a memory, its legacy lives on in the community thanks to the generosity of the United States Bowling Congress.
Materials used to transform the Oncenter Convention Center into a state-of-the-art 48-lane
bowling arena last spring were donated to the Syracuse chapter of Habitat for Humanity
(HFH) for local building projects.
The Oncenter venue, which took 42 days and more than 6,500 man hours to construct, took
approximately nine days to take apart. The deconstruction began July 8 with volunteers
from HFH working to salvage raw materials. Volunteers, who ranged in age from teenagers
to senior citizens, worked in shifts to pull out nails from 2-by-4s and stack lumber over the
course of deconstruction.
Floor joists, 2-by-4s, plywood and the rug from the squad room were among the materials
donated to HFH. At the start of the tournament, which began April 7, the USBC donated a
surplus of dry wall and dry-wall supplies not used during the construction process.
USBC and the local HFH chapters have been working together since the 2002 USBC Open
Championships in Billings, Mont., and the relationship has been extended to the Women’s
Championships, which was held in a convention-center setting for the second consecutive
year.
The Syracuse City School District bowling program will also benefit from USBC donations. Brian Whitman, the registration manager at the 2011 Women’s Championships, donated abandoned bowling equipment to Syracuse varsity coach Bob Piraino in June.
“Many of our bowlers don’t have their own equipment,” Piraino said. “I was greatly appreciative for an event that large to think of our kids. There are kids who need these items
to compete.”
Bowling balls, bowling bags, shoe covers, towels, rosin bags and assorted accessories were
among the items donated by the USBC.

DiGenaro rolls
first perfect
game
“I think this is great,” said Greg Wright, Faith Relations and Deconstruction Coordinator
for Syracuse HFH last April. “It saves us a small fortune on the building supplies, and that’s
significant for us.”
The large electronic scoreboard was retained by the USBC and will likely be used at the
2012 Open Championships in Baton Rouge. Brunswick work crews took away the synthetic
lanes, approaches, pin setters and ball returns. A Brunswick representative said some of the
equipment was sold to undisclosed centers around the country.

THE
Alex DiGenaro
Ten minutes of practice proved to be a
prelude to perfection for Liverpool High
School senior Alex DiGenaro.
Prior to his Have-A-Ball League at Flamingo on Aug. 3, DiGenaro rolled all strikes
during warm-ups. The 17-year-old righthander then proceeded to fired 12 straight
strikes in his first game for his first career
300 game.
“I was in the pocket the whole time
in practice,” DiGenaro said. “But I
didn’t think anything of it.”
The warm-up strikes were a good
omen for DiGenaro, whose previous
career high was 279 twice. He finished
with games of 300, 243 and 179 for
a 722 series. His career-best series is
760.
DiGenaro, who has been on the Liverpool varsity since the eighth grade,
said he had a good line to the pocket
but lucked out on two shots.
“One ball I got way too far out but
it ended up coming back for me,” he
said. “Then on my last ball, I had a
wobbling 10-pin before it finally went
down. It felt pretty good (to get 300).”
DiGenaro, who also bowls in the
Junior Travel League, kept himself
from getting nervous by talking to his
friends during the game. DiGenaro’s
father, Pete, was present for his 300.
Pete DiGenaro, the author of multiple
perfect games, anxiously watched
his son off to the side until the 12th
strike.
Congratulations Alex!

USBC Facts
about the 2015
Open Championships
in El Paso
What was the biggest reason that El Paso was selected?
El Paso was the only bidding city that would be a new destination for Open Championships bowlers. El Paso proved to be terrific host city during a successful Women’s
Championships in 2010 and presented a strong proposal for 2015.
How safe is El Paso?
El Paso has the lowest crime rate in the United States among cities with a population
of 500,000 or greater, according to the independent research firm CQ Press. Crime
across the Mexican border is in another country and unnoticeable for El Paso visitors.
How many lanes will be able to fit in the venue?
The El Paso Convention and Performing Arts Center has room for at least 48 lanes,
and possibly more, which could allow for a side event of some sort or practice
lanes.
Why was an east coast city not selected?
Many cities are unable to allow access to valuable convention center space for several months at a time. While USBC leadership has a preference to hold the Open
Championships in an eastern city, all aspects of a proposal must be considered.
What other cities bid for the event?
USBC received formal bids from two other cities, Syracuse and Las Vegas.
What factors are considered when evaluating a city’s bid?
There are many factors, including projected teams, appeal/newness of city, hotel
rooms, quality and size of the venue, financial commitment and others.
Is the Orlando stadium project still on the table?
We continue to work with various entities in the Orlando area. If a stadium project
does come to fruition, the next window for a major event would be in 2016.
Are there casinos in El Paso?
Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino is about 15 minutes away in Sunland Park, New
Mexico, and offers horse racing and slot machines. Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort
and Casino is a full casino with table games, about two hours away in Mescalero,
New Mexico. Shuttle service is available to both attractions.
Will bracket winnings be distributed at the casinos? No.
Are there hotels near the venue?
Yes. There are multiple full-service hotels within walking distance.
Are there lots of flights into El Paso?
Eight of the top 10 U.S. airline hubs have direct flights to El Paso, and Southwest
Airlines has more flights to/from El Paso than any other airline.
Will USBC change the schedule to allow for fresh oil in each squad?
Beginning with the 2013 Open Championships, there will be fresh oil on every
squad. Specific squad schedules have not yet been finalized.
Will fresh oil only be used in larger venues like the National Bowling Stadium?
USBC is committed to using fresh oil on all squads for all Open Championships
moving forward, regardless of the size of the venue.
What lane conditions can bowlers expect to see in 2012?
All patterns for the Open Championships will continue to be sport-compliant.
Why is the lane pattern not released until right before the event?
The pattern must be tested on the lanes in the venue. Since completion of the lane
installation does not occur until several days prior to the start of the event, there is
a very tight window of time in which the pattern can be tested. The unveiling of the
2012 pattern will be live on Bowl TV.
Will the online registration system be expanded to include team management
and other features?
Yes. Plans are underway to expand the registration system to include scheduling and
team management and this is expected to be available in time for registration for the
2013 event.
How many teams are expected for the 2012 event in Baton Rouge?
USBC has already received commitments for over 10,000 teams and is expecting a
near sellout, approaching 13,000 teams.
What months will the tournament be using in the coming years?
Dates for the 2013 Open Championships are still being finalized, however USBC
plans to continue with dates in February through early July.
How often will future tournaments be held at the National Bowling Stadium in
Reno?
The Open Championships will be held at the National Bowling Stadium in 2013,
2014 and 2016. There are no further commitments at this time.
What is the long-term future of the USBC Women’s Championships?
After the 2012 Women’s Championships at the National Bowling Stadium, the event
moves across town to the Reno Convention Center for 2013 and 2014, before returning to the National Bowling Stadium in 2015. Events in 2013 and 2014 when the
Open Championships are also in Reno provide an exciting opportunity for ladies to
bowl both tournaments in one trip, and also for some new side events that will make
for a more appealing trip in the future.
