2010 European Bowling Tour now features 19 tournaments

Within in a week, the 2010 European Bowling Tour lost two of its tournaments and was reduced to 19 events as the Austria Challenge (EBT Silver) in Vienna and the Ankara Open (EBT Gold) in Turkey have been cancelled by the organizers.

The EBT also announced that the tournament in Torneo Internazionale di Roma, Italy was postponed from September to November and the 2010 EBT Masters will be moved from Vienna to Aalborg, Denmark.

The good news for the players, who have already registered for Vienna and/or Ankara is that non refundable flight tickets will be refunded by the organizers.

The inaugural Austria Challenge was a newcomer on the EBT and created as a side tournament to the 2010 European Masters, the season ending event of the 2009 EBT in which the top 16 men and top 16 women determine the top-ranked players in Europe.

Mediterranean Challenge Cup

** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE **
MTBA.eu Editors Oct 10, 9:00 pm

The Mediterranean Challenge Cup Qualifying Tournament came to a close today with a trilling final in the men's section. Until the start of the final came it was still not clear which of the 3 bowlers would represent Malta in Cyprus in April.

After 7 games of the final round Neil Sullivan of team Global Air was only 22 pins away of second place Justin C. Scicluna.

Dennis Mercieca was in the lead with 30 pins ahead on second place. With Justin finishing first, he managed with a strong finish to put a game of 205 on his score sheet, and Dennis a game of 179, that meant that Neil had to bowl a game of 228 to move up, but a six pin in the 8 frame stopped him in his string of strikes and finished with a game of 213.

The highest series of the day went to Ray Falzon with 1690 and finished in 4th position with only 54 pins away of qualifying.

 

In the woman's division Sue Abela and Tiziana Carannante where too strong for the other 2 woman Melissa Swift and Pamela D'Emanuel. Earlier in round one the number two of the woman in leading average Joanna Attard had to stop because of a neck injury.

The qualifying round was played over two days with all competitors rolling 16 games, after which the top six qualified to the round robin stage which was followed by a stepladder final for the top three.

Camilleri and Carannante both led their respective divisions from the outset. In spite of a couple of low games (167, 145), Camilleri was top on 1,575 after eight games and stayed there with a 3,114 tally from 16.

Div I - Commentary - Week 8

 

 

RAMIS, FINA and Okmalta.com savoured important victories to keep challenging for the title and the podium places. Reigning champions Globalair are now rather adrift and loosing touch with the top positions. Both RAMIS and okmalta.com came off with 8-0 wins against the relegation zone teams.

TURU's 6-2 victory over HSBC pulls them off the relegation zone. Despite a huge 663 series from Ernest AGIUS, HSBC could only take 2 points in a rather close encounter.

FINA vs Globalair was a pulsating match with some good scores and both teams going through low and high moments. With a 2-2 postion going into the final game, FINA showed their team power with an 895 game, the highest team game so far in 2010.

Pharmavet beat ROYALS to remain in mid-table. They should now call in Danial SWIFT from early retirement to help them climb up the table. Royal Shock somehow keep finding it hard to win close matches. They remain in relegation zone.
