18th Annual Nikkei Games Bowling Event
August 19th , 2017
– Saturday only –
AMF Carter Lanes – Fullerton (Lemon / 91 Freeway)
Features a simple all scratch format by age divisions. Juniors (kids ages 2 – 18) and Adults (19 – ?? “so far 87 is the oldest participant we have had) are all bowling in their own age divisions – also separated by Men & Women. For team events we have Senior Team divisions and regular women and men divisions (see entry).
For the UNDER 10 kids we have many divisions in each age group , so say the 5 year olds will probably have 4 groups of 3 bowlers, so each bowler will receive a medal (AGES 9 & UNDER ONLY ARE GUARANTEED MEDALS) …… For kids 10 & over , they will be grouped in groups of about 6 or 7 in each age (Top 3 will receive medals) … but, if there are only 4 13 year-olds, then there will only be 4 in that division. Kids ( 8 & Under only) will get the bumpers …….
Every kid ( 9 & UNDER ONLY) is guaranteed a 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their division and a medal. There are many divisions in each age group so all those kids will get a medal ….. kids 10 & OVER have to earn their medals in groups no larger than 7 kids. All Adults will earn medals in groups of no larger than 7 also. Continue reading 18th Annual Nikkei Games Bowling Event

What happened to the biggest bowling centers in the world?
www.BowlingWorldDigital.com
1/07/09 • Japan
In January 2006 Bowlingdigital reported that the Castaways Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., formerly known as ‘The Showboat’, was flattened. When the building was demolished on January 11, 2006, the history of the biggest bowling center in the United States with 106 lanes came to an end. Click here to read Frenchy Letourneau’s report.
The Showboat was often called the biggest bowling center in the world but this wasn’t true.
