2010-2011 Senior Masters
The 2010-11 season Senior Masters tournament is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, November 7 at Village Lanes.
Inaugural MBA Senior Masters in the Books
Not to be outdone by the 10th frame drama of the inaugural MBA "Regular" Masters, the first Senior Masters provided plenty of its own.
The tournament drew only 19 competitors but that took nothing away from the competition. The event was contested on a challenging condition, the Kegel Middle Road pattern. This pattern kept typical runaway league scoring in check, and provided a fair condition.
The first round cut for the top five bowlers was +55 and ended with a tie for the fifth spot. A 9th and 10th frame roll-off was conducted between Mark Recknagel and Dave Shaw. Recknagel began the roll-off with a spare, Shaw followed with a strike. In the tenth, Recknagel filled the first two strikes, then a nine count for a 49 - forcing Shaw to double in his 10th to advance. Shaw threw three strikes and won the roll-off 60-49.
