Plans unveiled for new International Seniors Bowling Tour 2010
12/25/09
A group of tournament directors representing the most popular Seniors tournaments in Belgium, England, Germany and Netherlands have decided to leave the European Bowling Proprietors' Association (EBPA) Senior Tour and to run their own International Seniors Bowling Tour starting in March 2010.
Past Belgium national team member Liliane Vintens was elected president of the ISBT.
Also attending the meeting, which was held on December 10, 2009 in Langenfeld, Germany were Kalle Gaiser, Arthur Dähn, Dominique Collignon, Gino Vanderhaeghen, Colin Crouch, Charley Blom and Ad van der Jagt.
It was agreed that all tournaments of the ISBT should be sanctioned by the European Tenpin Bowling Federation (ETBF). According to the organizers ETBF president Addie Ophelders has stated that the matter is under consideration at ETBF as there seems to be a desire for an official International Seniors Tour.
The goal of the ISBT is "to give senior bowlers an extra interest in a sport they love and to continue to promote cordiality and friendship which is a standout feature of Senior Bowling in Europe".
