The Cambowl Mayor continues on Friday with the five-player team event, which will also decide the winners in All Events (30 games). The championship is a ranking event of the American Zone Central Region. The rankings will be based on the All Events standings.
As the championship nears conclusion Martin Faba Castro, President of the Costa Rica Bowling Association (ACOBOL) took the opportunity to congratulate Jose Guandique, President of the host federation and the President of the American Zone.
"I think the staff in charge of the championship was great. All events were on time, the transportation was perfect and we experienced a high quality result service.
"On the other hand, analyzing that we used a combined oil pattern every day, one lane with short oil and the other with long oil … I saw a couple of players who had good averages and can compete on a high level.
"We have learned many things and I hope that all future organizing committees in our region will have the same kind of motivation as the staff here in El Salvador has shown to all of us, players, officers and press."
