Qatar Bowling Center in Doha, Qatar (Dec. 3-10, 2006)

2006AsianGamesLogo.jpg Doubles champions Bader Al Shaikh posted the 1414 high score in the men's Team event to secure the gold medal in men's All Events. The Saudi Arabian had 1294 in Singles, 1392 in Doubles and 1382 in Trios to overtake the lead after three events. His 1414 brought his total to an Asian Games record of 5482, an average of 228.42 over 24 games.

Nayef Oqab, who shot a 300-game in the Doubles event en route to finish second, captured another silver medal with 5407 (225.29). Yannaphon Larp-apharat from Thailand beat out Bader's brother Hassan for the bronze medal, 5332 to 5320. Defending Asian Games Masters champion Remy Ong from Singapore ended up in 10th place with 5247 (218.63).

Individual totals from Singles, Doubles, Trios and Team are combined to determine the All Events winner. The top 16 men and the top 16 women in All Events - but only two players from one country in each division - advance to Masters play.

Malaysia was the only team with more than two players among the top 16. Daniel Lim and Ben Heng, who were tied for 14th place will be replaced by No. 17 Saeed Al Hajri from Qatar and No. 18 Wu Siu Hong from Hong Kong. Al Hajri is the sole bowler from the host country who survived the cut.

The top 3 players after 16 games will determine the Masters champion in a stepladder final (one-game matches).
