2018 SINGLES PLAYDOWNS - August 4 & 5, 2018

Congratulations to Michele Arculli & Scott Snyder, who have won the right to represent the NED at the 2018 National Championships at Sun City, FL in November. Michele won both games against challengers Frances Shen and Veronica Sum with Veronica winning against Frances to be our runner-up.

On the men's side there were no undefeated players in the field of 6 with all having at least 1 loss from round robin play. It was Scott Snyder and Colin Smith with only one loss who entered the play-off with challengers Duncan Farrell, Ed Last, Robin Goldman & Ryan Hastu, who finished in that order.

In the playoff, Scott proved to be the better player coming from 13-10 down to win 15-13 in an exciting finish.

Please join me congratulating Michele and Scott and wishing them the best of luck at the Championships. I am sure they will do the NED proud.

RON BUCK SINGLES AT DUPONT - June 9 & 10, 2018

We finally kicked off our  2018 NED bowling schedule with the Ron Buck Singles held in Dupont on June 9 & 10, 2018. The weather finally cooperated and we were able to complete all games with the rain coming for the last end of the playoffs.

Betty-Lou Buck was on hand to present the trophy to Patrick Duffy, who defeated Ryan Hastu in the 3rd end of a tie breaker set after both winning all 6 of their games and 1 set each in the playoff game.

This year we tried a different format for the singles playing 2 - 7 end sets with total points scored as the decider in each set. A 3 end tie breaker set with ends won was used when each player won a set each. One set point was earned with each Set or Tie Breaker Set won.

We each played 6 games with the event decided on Set Points won rather than wins. This meant that a person finishing with 3 wins and 3 losses had a better Set Points total than someone with a 4 wins and 2 losses due to winning a set in each of their 3 losses giving them 9 points. The 4-2 player won no additional sets in their losses and finished with 8 points. 

In 3rd place was Dan Berg with 5 wins and 10 Set Points. 4th went to Joe Kelly who finished with more sets won than Barry Kessler in 5th place. Both finished with 9 points, Joe had 3 wins and Barry had 4 wins.

Thanks to Tee Adams for hosting the event on what may be our final trip to Dupont as the future of their green is uncertain. 

Thanks also to all those that played and helped with the set-up of the green. We did not use the boards this year and just went with strings front and back of the ditch area.

1st  - Patrick Duffy
2nd - Ryan Hastu - defending champion
3rd - Dan Berg
4th - Joe Kelly
