September 8, 2008: Pinacle Events, of Syosset, NY announced today a new series of events for local bowlers; The Long Island Generations Bowling Tour (LIGBT). The 2008-09 LIGBT schedule includes ten Sunday events each featuring separate scratch and handicap competitions. The LIGBT is being sponsored by Columbia 300 and kicks off Sunday, October 19th at AMF Babylon Bowl.
The LIGBT's mission is to run professionally run tournaments where entrants can also become better bowlers. Most events will feature a Demo Day, seminar, or product sampling from Tour sponsors. Several tournaments will provide free coaching and video lessons during the exclusive one-hour practice session prior to each event.
Each tournament will offer two separate competitions; a scratch tournament with 5 games of qualifying and 1 in 8 advancing to the match play finals. There will be two divisions for qualifying; 49 and under and 50+. A $1,000 top prize is guaranteed regardless of entries. Also guaranteed is $250 for all finalists (1 in 8) and $100 for all cashers (1 in 4). Entry fee for the scratch event is $100.
The second tournament, which will run concurrently with the scratch event, will be a handicap competition for bowlers averaging 205 and under. Qualifying will be 3 games with 1 in 8 advancing to the match play finals and guaranteed $125. Top prize will pay $500 with only 50 entries. Additional cashers will be created with the 1 in 4 cashing ratio. All handicaps will be based on 90% of 205. All bowlers not cashing will receive bonus pins at their next event. Entry fee for the handicap event is only $50.
The LIGBT is being run and promoted by Steve Sanders and Bob Olsen. Steve is president of Pinacle Events and well known for his national amateur and pro tournaments. Bob Olsen, the tournament director, is a former PBA member and one of the most respected bowlers on Long Island. For more information on The LIGBT visit www.ligbtour.com or call the tournament office at 1.877.900.6464.

October 20, 2008-Babylon, NY: The Long Island Generations Bowling Tour (LIGBT), which is presented by Columbia 300, hosted its first event of their ten tournament schedule on Sunday, October 19th and crowned its first two champions. The winner of the scratch event was Jeremy Schaffer of Linderhurst, NY earning $1,000 and the 205 & under champion was Tom Colon of N. Massapequa, NY winning $300. A total of 71 bowlers attended the AMF Babylon event which was hosted by GM Mike Seragano.
The road to the winner’s circle for Jeremy was challenging but he was up to the task. Jeremy, a 25 year old left hander who bowls out of AMF Babylon Lanes, rolled a 1237 five game qualifying series (247 average) to earn one of 7 finals spots. In the finals Jeremy shot games of 256, 297, and 269 to win the tournament and earn the $1,000 top prize. Other bowlers in the final shootout were Jay Marine of Selden (2nd-$500) and Alex Cavagnaro of Lindenhurst (3rd-$360). Alex was the high qualifier in the 49 & under division with a 1284 series and earned 1 bye in the finals. Mike Dioguardo of Patchogue was the high qualifying senior with a 1279 series and also earned one bye. To cash in the scratch division it took an 1160 series in the 49 & under group and 1113 in the senior division.
Tom Colon, the 205 & under champion, earned his spot in the finals by shooting a fine 711 three game series (including handicap) which seeded him second. The top qualifier was Morris Jackson of Massapequa, who rolled a 719 series. Tom, who is a right handed bowler out of Farmingdale Lanes, defeated Morris in the final match 240 (35) to 233 (11) (handicap). It took a 663 series to earn a cashing spot in the 205 & under group.
LIGBT’s first event was a rousing success. Bowlers throughout the tri-state area competed for over $5,000 in prize money. All members received an embroidered shirt and many upgraded their membership to receive a new Columbia 300 Momentum Swing. LIGBT’s next event is at AMF Syosset Lanes on Sunday, November 9
