Paul Varela, Champion Ray Varela and ABT Director Kyle Lincke. Ray Varela Wins ABT Championship at Cal Bowl

LAKEWOOD—Ray Varela won the Amateur Bowlers Tour (ABT) championship at Cal Bowl on Saturday, February 14, 2009 during our 3-game Beat-the-Board tournament. Ray bowled in our 5:30PM squad and shot games of 301, 246 and 258 with handicap for a series total of 804 and the $815 1st place prize plus $1000 from the Progressive Pot. Jeremy Paulsen came in second shoot- ing a real fine 800 with handicap and received a check for $410. Glenn Mabilangan came in third shooting a 767 and received $210. Low to cash was +107. Carl Labayan was the winner of the Senior Sweeper with a 750. Claude Dottin was the winner of the 2-Game Sweeper with a 525. Our newest champion, Ray Varela, is married to Paula. They have four children: Paul, David, Elena and Fernando. Ray sports a 300 game and a 749 series to his credit and does his league bowling at Cal Bowl. Ray was using a Storm Shock Trauma and Ebonite Gamebreaker drilled by Josh Montgomery for the win this weekend. Ray wanted to thank Mark Baker and his son Paul for helping him with his game. Ray wanted to thank Paula, Paul, David, Elena and Fernando for their love and support. Ray also wanted to thank Cal Bowl for hosting the tournament, Storm Bowling Products and the ABT Staff and Directors for running an outstanding tournament. Ray plans on using part of his winnings for new Storm bowling equipment. The Mystery Game Pot game and score were drawn after our final squad. Game #1 was the game drawn. The first chance score of 102 (good for $400) was drawn; the second chance score (good for $200) was 111; third chance score (good for $100) was 248 and 236 was the fourth chance (good for a free entry).

This tournament weekend was a challenge for me – I could not speak – lost my voice. I wrote a lot of notes. Thanks to all who stepped forward to help, it was a great week end. They Said “It’ll Never Work” – that was 31 years ago. The very idea of a 500 Club member competing in a tournament with a 600 club member was considered ridiculous by some. This thought was not shared with the board members of each club. Members of each club bowled as team mates in leagues so why not a tournament in Las Vegas? The San Diego 600 Club hosted the first tournament at the Las Vegas Show Boat in 1979, and will continue to host in odd-numbered years. It was wonderful! There were over 200 entries and 4 chartered buses. Everyone loved it! Our tournament entries are down but our clubs still enjoy the competition and trip out of town. One member who shared the negative thought has bowled in 30 of the 31 tournaments. Ha! How great is that! It Does Work!
