Mariani, Brunet, Srock win All Events titles at World Seniors Invitational
05/11/12
Tom Mariani, United States, averaged 223.05 over 21 games to win the All Events title in the Men's Division A/B at the 3rd World Seniors Invitational at Sawgrass Lanes in Tamarac, Fla.
Jacques Brunet of France took the title in Men's Division C, while Christine Srock, United States, captured the women's title.
36 of 37 participants, 12 in each division, advanced to Friday's Masters finals. They bowl one best-of-three games round to cut to top 6 who will determine the champions in round robin match play.
The 3rd World Seniors Invitational drew 37 players - 25 men and 12 women - from seven countries: Virgin Islands (12). Brazil (9), France (5), Bahamas (2), Ireland (2), Italy (2) and mere five from the host country United States.
The WSI is open to senior bowlers in three age divisions: Division A: men 50-57 and women 45-52 years old; Division B: men 58-64 years and women 53-59; Division C: men 65 and older and women 60 and older. The age on the day of the start of the Tournament will be used to determine the age group.
Division A and B will receive no handicap. All the participants in the C group will receive for each game played, a bonus of 1 point for each full year they are older than the age of 65 years.
Due to the low number of entries, Men A and B and all women compete in one division, respectively. Bowlers will bowl Singles, Doubles and Trios and a two-day Master's event.
