Brad Angelo Won PBA Viper Championship

By Bill Vint - PBA LAS VEGAS Brad Angelo of Lockport, N.Y, with two strikes and an eightcount in the 10th frame, ended four years of frustration with a 233-232 victory over Finlands Mika Koivuniemi to win the Professional Bowlers Association Viper Championship at South Point Hotel and Casino. Angelo, who won his only PBA Tour title in the 2008 Viper Championship in Omaha, Neb., came into the Viper Championship finals as the top qualifier, but got help from Koivuniemi in the final frame before pulling off his clutch victory. The Viper Championship, the second of five PBA Tour events held as part of the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IV at South Point, aired on ESPN. The finals are airing on my birthday, and I guarantee there will be an absolute blow-out Christmas party, slash birthday party, slash victory number two party at Brad Angelo Lanes, the now 43-year-old Angelo said. Koivuniemi started the title match with a 4-10 split and an open frame. Angelo returned the favor in the third frame when he left a 4-6-7 split and opened. Neither bowler missed the pocket after those errors, although each left and converted a single-pin spare. The contest came down to the 10th frame where Koivuniemi, working on a string of four strikes, added a fifth on his first shot. Needing nine pins and a spare to lock up the title, Koivuniemi left the 3-6-9-10 to give Angelo a chance to win with a double and eight pins, and thats exactly what the 11-year PBA

There is no such thing as tournament time---because there are fine tournaments being conducted 12 months of the year. Ever stop to think of how many bowling tournaments are available in the world each year? An educated guess might put the figure at more than 10,000. There are big money, small money and no money tournaments. There are family, school, church, business, profession, city, county, state, sectional, national, zone, continent and world tournaments. There are pro tournaments and amateur tournaments and pro-amateur tournaments. There are singles, doubles and team tournaments. There are events for boys, girls, men, women and mixed covering every age. There are sibling tournaments, husband and wife, father and son, mother and daughter, and any other relationship tournaments. There are club tournaments and shop tournaments and office tournaments and religious tournaments. There are tournaments for people who can't see or can't walk or can't hear. And with all that only a small percentage of the number and scope of the variety of bowling tournaments staged annually have been touched upon. Yet, many bowlers never have rolled in a tournament. Let it be known that there is a tournament for every bowler, regardless of the size of your average---or budget. Look through any bowling publication, check the desk or bulletin board at your bowling centers and read all your communications and you're sure to find one or two tournaments designed just for you. Tournament bowling is the extra icing on the bowling cake.

Tournament bowling is fun, and always profitable. It isn't always profitable in a financial sense, though many have won cash, merchandise, trips, and other goodies, large and small. But you always enter into a new and exciting phase of the sport where the competition is different but the game is the same. How can you tell if a tournament is a good one? Check out those conducting the tournament, where it is being run, and read closely all the rules and fine print on the entry blank. A tournament survives only if bowlers are given a fair shake and tournaments don't last unless they have needed participation. In many tournaments, particularly local and state and national association events, plus most charity tournaments, many dedicated people work hours that would stagger the imagination. In some tournaments you can win six figures or more. In others you can't win much more than satisfaction in being a player, and or maybe a title and trophy, be it thimble size or taller than you are. You can't gain the full rewards bowling offers unless you roll in tournaments even now and then. So give your local or state tournament a whirl. Don't miss some of the fine competition your local center offers. Check out tournament clubs. There is as wide a variety in tournaments as there is in the aims of bowlers but bowlers can find the right one with a little effort. If you've never rolled a tournament, roll one in the near future. If you have, roll one more. There can be problems at times, like when the nudist convention ran a bowling tournament. Nobody looked at the scores.
