Bowl for the Cure 2013
The fourth annual MBA Bowl for the Cure event was held on March 9, 2013 at Badger Bowl. Around 150 bowlers came out to support the cause, enjoy a few games of 9-pin tap bowling, and win some great raffle or silent auction prizes. The 30 lane bowling center was about as full as it can get. Discussion has already started regarding making the event multiple shifts in the upcoming years.
The event raised $6,463.98 this year, through entry fee proceeds, pledges, raffle, and silent auction income.

Eoff Wins 2013 MBA Masters
For the second consecutive year, the five seed has run the table in the stepladder finals of the MBA Masters. MBA newcomer Derek Eoff bested a field of 45 entrants to claim the title in the fifth annual tournament on February 2, 2013.
Congratulations to Derek, who won $510.00, two tickets to the MBA Hall of Fame Dinner and Bowler Recognition ceremony in August, one ticket to the Dinner with the Champions in October, and the crystal Eagle Trophy.
The tournament was held at MBA City Tournament host Bowl-A-Vard Lanes on the USBC Blue #1 pattern – a pattern which has considerably less volume than the USBC Blue #3 condition used the previous two Masters. The result was significantly higher scores, though no honor counts.

City Tournament On Pace
There are 34 teams with entries turned in already, two more squads (eight and 10 teams) being organized, two more squads of eight rumored to be building, and another dozen entries “penciled in”. If all of that comes through, we can easily expect at least eighty teams this year – and hopes of breaking the 100 team barrier are realistic.
The (typically slow starting) first weekend will feature a half-dozen teams on each of the first two squads, Sunday, January 6. Read more
City Tournament Sponsor Update
City tournament entry forms will be distributed to MBA bowling centers this weekend. The slight delay came with a last minute major sponsorship deal with Budweiser. Ebonite has been added as a major sponsor and will be the official ball of the 12-13 tournament. The MBA thanks these and our returning corporate sponsors.

Stop-N-Go Convenience Centers will be the Madison USBC Bowling Association Championship Tournament title sponsor again this season, re-committing their title sponsorship of the event. Stop-N-Go has been the top sponsor of the MBA tournaments for many years, and we really appreciate their continued support.
