Europa Utmanar USA I Bowling 2007-10-18 16:55 CEST Europa utmanar USA i bowling Vid bowlingens världsförbunds (WTBA) kongress nyligen beslutades att det är fritt fram för proffsen att spela VM. - Det är kul att de allra bästa spelarna får chansen att vara med vid de stora mästerskapen, säger Tomas Leandersson, den svenske förbundskaptenen. Under kommande helg får Tomas personligen uppleva hur det är att ta sig an världens ledande professionella spelare. Då avgörs nämligen den åttonde upplagan av Weber Cup, mötet mellan Europa och USA, som har kallats bowlingens svar på golfens Ryder Cup. Tävlingen avgörs i Barnsley, som ligger i mellersta England, och allt spelas på en enda bana som byggs upp för det här arrangemanget. Tomas Leandersson är, precis som vid de tidigare sju mötena, lagkapten för Europas lag. Och hans lag är ute efter revansch, i fjol vann USA med 18-17, den jämnaste matchen hittills. Det var också förra året som man introducerade proffsspelare i Weber Cup. Det utnyttjade båda lagen. För Europas del genom att ta med finländaren Mika Koivuniemi och USA genom att satsa på trion Chris Barnes, Tommy Jones och Jason Couch. I år har Europas lag en stark nordisk tonvikt: Tomas Leandersson (lagkapten), Tore Torgersen, Norge, Paul Moor, England, Mika Koivuniemi och Osku Palermaa (debutant), båda Finland. USA: Tim Mack (lagkapten), Bill Hoffman, Chris Barnes, Tommy Jones och Doug Kent (debutant), de tre sistnämnda från PBA. Det amerikanska laget inkluderar tre av de största stjärnorna på PBA-touren. Barnes, Jones och Kent låg på topp 5 i inspelade pengar förra säsongen. Doug Kent vann två så kallade majors och blev utsedd till ”Årets spelare”. Det handlar alltså om det bästa som PBA kan erbjuda i dagsläget. Ändå är det långtifrån säkert att USA kommer att vinna. - Amerikanare tror ofta att bowlingen inte existerar utanför USA. Men de amerikaner som varit ute och tävlat internationellt har lärt sig att de inte bara kan komma och hämta segrar, säger Tomas Leandersson. Här kan vi också dra en parallell till kommande världsmästerskap. Det är nämligen klart att Team USA till nästa år kommer att inkludera proffspelare i sitt lag och det är högst troligt att det amerikanska laget vid herr-VM i Bangkok i september 2008 inrymmer några av PBA-tourens bästa spelare. Liksom att Finland aviserat att Mika Koivuniemi erbjudits en plats i Team Finland. - Det är bara positivt att proffsen är med. Samtidigt ska vi veta att det är andra förutsättningar både vid VM och Weber Cup än vad proffsen är vana vid från sin tour, säger Tomas. Weber Cup kommer i år att avgöras i bäst av 33 matcher, samtliga över en serie. Det lag som först vunnit 17 matcher är vinnare. Spelprogrammet består av 22 singlar, sex dubbelmatcher och fem lagmatcher (5-mannalag) enligt Bakers format. Tävlingens hemsida www.webercup.com har all information, inklusive uppdatering av resultat när spelet tar sin början på fredag klockan 19.00 lokal tid Om mer information önskas, var vänlig kontakta Tomas Leandersson, tel 0705-605 962.

(Dec. 29, 2010) – Since the formation of the Professional Bowlers Association in 1958, no one has contributed more to the organization in so many different ways than PBA Hall of Famer Chuck Pezzano. In recognition of the 81-year-old Clifton, N.J., native’s contributions to the PBA, his name will be permanently attached to the organization beginning with the introduction of the Chuck Pezzano PBA Press Room during the PBA Tournament of Champions at Red Rock Lanes in Las Vegas, Jan. 15-22. The Chuck Pezzano PBA Press Room also will welcome the news media at all future Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour events and it will have a permanent home on pba.com for all news media visitors who visit the PBA’s official website. “It think it’s a pretty nice honor,” Pezzano said. “It came as a complete surprise.” Pezzano first became involved with the PBA as a top-flight competitor and charter member; he was the first collegiate bowler in the United States to bowl an 800 series.
