Chris Jove & Joe Novara Earn Their First LIGBT Titles

Posted On: November 21, 2010

Champion Joe Novara

November 21, 2010
 
East Islip, NY:  The LIGBT visited East Islip Lanes for a 2 squad handicap tournament and a 5 game scratch marathon. The tournament attracted a great crowd of 110 entries including many new members. Even though the LIGBT has run over 30 events in its first two plus seasons we are still crowning first time champions at each tournament.
 
The first time winners at East Islip were scratch champion Joe Novara of E. Patchogue, NY who earned $1,000 and Chris Jove of Port Jefferson, NY who won $500 for winning the handicap event. The event was bowled on a house shot which produced the highest scores in LIGBT history. Normally the LIGBT puts down a PBA condition or uses one of the Kegel Challenge Series Patterns.
 
The scratch event started off with a bang as two 300 games and a 298 set the scoring pace. The top two bowlers in the 49 & under division and the top senior were guaranteed in the final shootout. Joe Novara, who averaged 267 and John Rizzi of South Huntington, NY (266 average) were the two 49 & under leaders. The high senior bowler was Frank Spano, Brentwood, NY who averaged 252, including a 300 game. It took a 258 average to make the finals in the 49 & under division and a 251 average in the senior division.
 
To fill the fourth spot in the scratch shootout a 1 game finals was bowled by all the non-seeded finalists. Mike Dioguardo of Patchogue, NY rolled a 290 to advance as he defeated Brian Ziesig, Levittown, NY by 2 pins. Brian shot 288 with a blow out 7-10 on his fill ball. The shootout was exciting as Joe Novara held a 10 pin lead in the 9th frame and struck out to shoot 268 to win the title. Finishing second was John Rizzi ($750) with a 253, third went to Frank Spano ($550) with a 245 and finishing fourth was Mike Dioguardo (210) who earned $400.
 
The handicap event also enjoyed big scores. Leading the first squad was your eventual winner, Chris Jove. Chris was seeded directly into the last match of the finals by leading the first squad with an 857 series (740 scratch.) The second squad leader was Leo Lombardi of West Babylon, NY. Leo shot an incredible 893 series (758 scratch) to earn 1 bye in the finals. It took a 769 to make the finals in the first squad and a 769 in the second squad.
 
The handicap shootout was exciting and Champion Chris Jove took control immediately with a triple. Except for an open frame in the fourth Chris struck in every frame to shoot a 265 scratch game (304 with handicap). Finishing second and earning $300 was Jim Walsh, Glen Cove, NY with a 252 (221 scratch). Third place went to Tom Strother ($250), Medford, NY with a 243 (215 scratch) and fourth went to Eddie Shacalo, Brooklyn, NY ($200) who rolled a 231 (168 scratch).
 
The LIGBT’s next event is our Thanksgiving Weekend Major at AMF Babylon. The 2-day event begins on Saturday, November 27th with 2 squads (4pm & 6pm) and will finish up on Sunday with 2 more squads and the finals (noon & 2pm.)

LONG ISLAND GENERATIONS TOUR (LIGBT) UPGRADES 2011 SCHEDULE

Posted On: November 15, 2010

The LIGBT announced today it is revising its schedule to better accommodate its over 1,000 members. New dates were announced through June 1st with future summer events to be revealed at a later date. The current schedule lists 16 events throughout Nassau and Suffolk bowling centers.

The LIGBT also announced it is upgrading its prize funds, adding a “members only” end-of-the-year event and bringing back its membership options including a $10 guest fee for those that don’t want to join. The entry fees are staying the same except are being reduced when handicap events have 2 squads where bowlers can now re-enter for only $40. All prepaid entrants still save $5 off the walk-in entry fee.

LIGBT bowlers are going to love the new prize fund structure. In the handicap events all finalists are guaranteed to earn at least $100 and all squad leaders will earn $150. The top prizes are still guaranteed to pay $500-1st and $250-2nd regardless of entries.

The scratch prizes funds are also being upgraded as all finalists (1 in 5) will earn a minimum of $200. In marathon events all finalists (1 in 5) will earn $250. Top prizes of $1,000-1st & $500-2nd are guaranteed with 35 entries but will grow to $1,500-1st & $750-2nd with 80 entries. All finalists will earn at least $100 more each round they advance. The extra prize money is being funded by the LIGBT who will add $5 per entry to all scratch prize funds. With the added money the LIGBT is now taking out less than 10% for expenses!

The LIGBT is creating a new event just for its members. This new tournament will have a minimum of $5,000 added and the entry fee will be determined by the number of events you bowl in a season. The more you enter the less your entry fee will be in this special tournament. The $5,000 added will be funded two ways; through the $5 walk-in fees and through the profits from the 50-50 raffles run at each LIGBT event. Details of the format and prize fund will be announced at a later date.

The LIGBT is also pleased to announce Columbia 300 will be partnering with us to offer a variety of membership packages. The annual membership fee has been reduced to $20 but bowlers can still get the embroidered 2-ball tote with their membership for $30. Bowlers looking for a performance ball can now purchase the gold package which includes the latest ball release from Columbia 300. This package, which comes with a 1-year membership, is only $120 (a $250 value.) Members needing a ball and a double or triple roller should consider the platinum packages which start at $160.

Beginning immediately, the 300 game bonus has been eliminated, and the remaining money is going to the end of the year tournament prize fund ($580.) The $10 recruiting bonus, which was funded out of your weekly prize fund, is also being stopped to allow for the bigger weekly prize funds. There are still no credit card fees being charged but the $5 walk-in fee remains.

The LIGBT wants to thank everyone that has supported the Tour for the past three years. Special recognition must go to the LIGBT sponsors; Columbia 300, Kegel, CLS Upholsterers, and Digital Motion. For more information please visit www.ligbtour.com or call the tournament office at 1.877.900.6464.

Posted On: October 30, 2010

Scratch Champion, Amanda Beck

October 30, 2010
 
Patchogue, NY:  The LIGBT visited Bowl Long Island on Saturday night of Halloween weekend and 95 bowlers packed the center. For the second time in the last 3 events both the scratch and handicap tournaments crowned first time champions. Winning her first LIGBT scratch title was Amanda Beck of Patchogue, NY who earned $1,000.  Winning his first LIGBT handicap title was Jim Walsh of Glencove, NY who earned $500.
 
The scratch event was a six game marathon that was bowled on the PBA Cheetah Pattern. Scoring was moderate as it took a 217 average in the 49 & under division to make the finals and only a 176 average to advance in the senior division. Three bowlers were seeded into the shootout after qualifying, the top two 49 & unders; Dave Sulzer, Holbrook, NY (1426) and Ray Edwards, Middle Island, NY (1375) and top senior; Don Hick, W. Babylon (1187).
 
To determine the fourth bowler in the shootout the remaining 1 in 4 finalists rolled one game with the top score advancing and the others earning $200. Amanda Beck rolled a great 267 game to advance. Once in the final shootout Amanda continued her great bowling and won the title with a 235. Finishing second was Ray Edwards ($500) who rolled a 197. Third place went to Dave Sulzer who shot a 182 and earned $300 while fourth went to Don Hicks ($250) with a 154.
 
The handicap event used a two squad format. Leo Lombardi, W. Babylon was the 6pm squad leader (688) and was seeded directly into the shootout. The 8pm squad leader, John Palemire of Farmingdale, NY, was the 8pm squad leader with a 700 and earned 1 bye in the finals. To make the handicap finals you had to shoot a 632 with handicap and bonus pins in both the 6pm and 8pm squads.
 
Jim Walsh has bowled in 35 LIGBT tournaments and never finished higher than second until the Bowl Long Island event. Jim, who is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, advanced to the finals in the 8pm squad with a 691 series. In the finals, Jim advanced two rounds to get into the shootout against three other great bowlers; Leo Lombardi, Samuel Cooke of Patchogue, and Mike Ruggiero of Smithtown.
 
The handicap shootout was exciting and went down to the tenth frame. Jim doubled in the tenth to force Sam to do the same. But a stubborn 10 pin on Sam’s first ball gave Jim his first title and the $500 top prize. The final shootout scores (with handicap) were; Jim ($500) 276, Sam ($300) 264, Mike ($250) 230 and Leo ($200) 214.

BRIAN ZIESIG WINS HIS SECOND TITLE

Posted On: October 24, 2010

Scratch Champion, Brian Ziesig

October 24, 2010
 
East Meadow, NY:  The LIGBT visited AMF East Meadow and crowned two champions. Winning his second scratch title and the $1,000 top prize was Brian Ziesig of Levittown, NY. Earning his first handicap trophy, and its $500 top prize, was Ken Savarese of W. Hempstead, NY. Amazingly, both champions barely made the finals as they were the cut score.
 
The scratch event was a four game qualifier that was bowled on the PBA Chameleon Pattern. Scoring was widespread as Joe Costanzo, Bethpage, NY dominated the field in qualifying by averaging 252. But to make the finals it only took a 220 average. Andy Ippolito of Forest Hills, NY was the senior leader with an 811 series.
 
The finals were made up of some of the best local bowlers. Amanda Beck, Patchogue, NY is a top women bowler, Anthony Pepe, Queens, NY is one of the best lefties on the east coast, Brian Ziesig is a PBA Champion, and Joe Costanzo is a very highly rated Long Island bowler. In the final shootout Brian Ziesig had an early 20 pin lead and never relinquished it. In the end Brian won his second LIGBT title with a fine 242 with second place going to Anthony Pepe who earned $500 (214). Joe Costanzo took home third with a 211 and earned $300 while Amanda earned $200 for her fourth place finish with a 169.
 
The handicap event had a unique finish to its qualifying as a husband and wife finished first and second; Pat and Christine Loliscio of Stony Brook, NY took the top 2 qualifying positions with a 720 and 713 respectively. To make the handicap finals it took a 683 series and that spot was amazingly taken by the eventual champion Ken Savarese.
 
The handicap shootout consisted of 3 LIGBT veterans and all performed well. Ken Savarese is a LIGBT regular and he really wanted his first title. Ken bowled well and shot a 182 scratch (236 with handicap) to secure the $500 top prize and his first title. Finishing second was Damon Gizzi of St. James, NY with a 207 ($300) and third place went to Pat Loliscio who rolled a 200 and took home $200.
 
The LIGBT’s next event is on Saturday, October 30th at Bowl Long Island in Patchogue. The handicap event will be a 2-squad tournament and the scratch event will be a 6-game marathon.

Dan Brezo & Rob Vecchione Win Their First LIGBT Titles

Posted On: October 17, 2010

Scratch Champion, Dan Brezo

October 17, 2010
 
Garden City, NY:  The LIGBT visited AMF Garden City on a beautiful Sunday and crowned two brand new champions. Winning his first scratch title and the $1,000 top prize was Dan Brezo of Coram, NY. Earning his first handicap trophy, and its $500 top prize, was Rob Vecchione of Massapequa Park, NY.
 
The scratch event was a four game qualifier that was bowled on the PBA Chameleon Pattern. Scoring was fairly low most of the day as Dan Brezo was the squad leader with an 899 series. To advance to the finals it only took a 214 average, while the top senior, Norm Ginsberg Sr. of West Babylon, NY advanced with a 770 series (192 average.)
 
The finals has some better scoring as Adam Chase, last tournament’s champion, rolled through the first two rounds with a 286 and 227 game. But in the final match Dan Brezo completely dominated Adam and started with the first 6 strikes on his way to a 256. Adam earned $500 despite the fact he lost to Dan by 95 pins!
 
The handicap event was lead by Aeyesha Gomez of Corona, NY, who was the qualifying leader with a 733. To make the handicap finals you had to shoot a 679 with handicap and bonus pins. Ironically, the eventual champion, Rob Vecchione, was the bowler that rolled the 679 series to advance.
 
The handicap shootout was very exciting as all three bowlers had a chance to win the title going into the tenth frame. James Walsh of Glen Cove threw a spare and strike in the tenth to force Rob to double to win the title. Rob threw a crossover strike on his first ball and buried the second shot to shoot a 262 to win the $500 and his first LIGBT title. Finishing second, with a 253 was James Walsh ($300), and the qualifying leader, Aeyesha, finished third with a 244 and took home $200.
