The Napa City Tournament Results – UNOFFICIAL

And as always winnings will be handed out at the Spring Meeting coming up.

Its late but here are the 2013 Napa City Youth Tournament Results

We had the 2013 Napa City Youth Tournament in February with okay turn out and great scores. Below find the final standings for the Preps and Junior-Senior Majors. The trophies were passed out March 2nd.

Youth bowls a 300 and 700 Series!

Its hard to do and rare among the adult bowlers who bowl week in and week out to see, let alone bowl a perfect game. Today we had a High Schooler who did it with modesty.
Sergio Saldana had already been in the running for a 600 series when he hit his third game. After games of 202 and 222, Sergio settled into a rhythm. With half the lanes watching him he calmly finished up with his first, and probably not last perfect 300 game and a 724 series.

Just a quick Update

Just an FYI –

The Full Board of Directors listed on the About page has been updated as well at the Average Book.

The Napa City Tournament has been scheduled for March 4-10, 2013 with Team Events during the week and Double & Singles on Saturday and Sunday. The owner of the alley is letting go back to this format as long as we fill the lanes, so we’re hoping for good participation. More info about the tournament(s) will be posted later as fundraisers to boost the prize pot and also Youth Scholarships are finalized.

Please feel free to contact the board with any questions.
