New Business

·        Club cookout was enjoyed by all who attended.  About 25 to 30 of the club members, friends and family did attend.  Leroy thanked everyone for attending.  There was lots food, fun and alcohol.  This was yet another pleasant event.  We look forward to having more events like this in the future.  Leroy’s company is selling tickets to Kings Dominion for October 7th at a cost of $23.  If you wish to attend please contact Leroy for your tickets (cash only).

·        TNBA NJ – Please see Katie for TNBA application card, if you don’t already have your card.  No monies have been received for the Eastern Regional tournament.  If there are individuals who want to attend, money will need to be received at this meeting.  Individuals and money was received for 2 teams.  The club is planning on going November 17th – 18th.

·        ICBC September meeting information – The lineage for the last two seasons has been $9.50.  The Baltimore centers are raising lineage fees to $11.50, except Kings Point which will raise their lineage fee to $11.00 over the next two months.  For September and October, the Baltimore centers will charge the ICBC $10.50, then beginning in November the lineage will increase to $11.50.  The Mavericks match game scheduled for October 27th with CTBC will be located at Ritchie.  All matches originally scheduled at Country Club will now be relocated to Ritchie.  The Holiday Bowl still has not been decided.  Clubs were asked if they wanted to hold the Holiday Bowl Saturday night, December 15th at Gaithersburg or on Sunday, December 16th at another located to be decided.

·        203 point system – Was somewhat confusing to both clubs leaving the center Saturday night.  Not knowing for certain if the Mavericks had really won the match.  After review of the how it works, the answer is YES the Mavericks did win the match game over JUBP, 103-99.  This is how it works out:

    • Each team can earn a possible 33 points (times 6 teams) plus 5 points for total pins, for a total of 203.
    • Each bowler can earn 1 point for each game then 2 points for (the 3 game) series.  For a possible total of points per individual.
    • Total pins per game (per team), earns 2 points and an additional 2 for total set per team.

 

·        Leroy stated the club needs to pick one or more tournaments to attend as a club.  Leroy suggested Hanover as a tournament to attend as a club.  Beverly commented that there are several tournaments she wants to attend and could do so with other groups, but would prefer to do so with the Mavericks.  The club talks about going to the same tournaments but it doesn’t happen.  Leroy asked for suggestions on how to rectify the problem.  Tony W. suggested there be individual tournament directors for different tournaments we want to attend.  Following is the list of individuals and they tournaments the will be coordinating:

Laura Scott                              Williamsburg Women’s

Katie Gamble-Johnson TNBA (NJ and Reno)

Beverly Brower                        Lebanon

Leroy Noble                             Williamsburg Men’s and Las Vegas Team Championship

Justine Bowen??                       USBC Women’s

Margo Lowe/Sharon H.            USBC Men’s

Samantha G/Katie G–J.            Hanover

Tony Wheeler                           Rodman & Williamsburg Mixed

Moses Vincent             Rochester

Open                                        Virginia State Men’s

 

            Kevin suggested we add Cincinnati to the list of tournaments.  Martessa asked for the dates for the        tournaments as well as the date the monies are due.  It was also suggested that we do 50/50 raffles   or something of the sort, at match games, to offset some of the tournament fees.  Tony suggested               doing 2nd game love doubles.  Everyone who wants to participate would give a dollar or two and     partners are randomly chosen.    Leroy suggested doing the 2nd game mystery game.  A random         number from 100-300 would be selected and if it’s your score from the 2nd game you win.  In each             of these fund raisers half would go the winner(s) and the other half to the club for tournament fees.

·        Website is up and running.  Updates are being made regularly.  Please check the website for monthly minutes, directory, schedule, results, Bylaws and club events.
