of their game for hours on end.)

"The true way to soften one's

troubles is to solace those of oth-

other words, take the time to lis-

ten to another bowler's troubles,

and if you talk to enough, you'll

always find someone worse off

than you are.)

"Trust in God, and keep your

powder dry."---CROMWELL

(Pray, but make sure you're

throwing a good ball first.)

"Tis strange---but true; for

truth is always strange,

Stranger than fiction."---

BYRON (Now start believing

some of those stories other

bowlers tell you, or attend a

meeting of a ladies bowling

league.)

“The winds and waves are

always on the side of ablest nav-

igators.”---EDWARD GIBBON

(And so it is that the first thing a

bowler must learn is how to

adjust to varying lane condi-

“Practice courtesy. You never

know when it might become

popular again.”---BILL

“What is defeat? Nothing but

the perfect example.”---SUZY

SUTTON (Could have swore

Marshall Holman said that)

“A vacation is what you take

when you can no longer take

you’re supposed to be adding up

holidays, to sport would be as

tedious as work.”---SHAKE-

ARLINGTON, Texas - The

United States Bowling Congress

Board of Directors has re-elected

Andrew Cain of Phoenix as

USBC president. Tom Bluth of

Davie, Fla. was re-elected vice

president following his reappoint-

ment as a director-at-large.

“I am excited and honored to

have the opportunity to continue

as president of USBC,” Cain said.

“USBC needs to bring forward a

clear, illustrated plan for growth

and my goal is to inspire our del-

egates and associations to support

the organization once we fully

develop the elements of that

plan.”

Cain has served on the USBC

Board of Directors since 2007

and has worked on many key

committees including Legal and

of Junior Team USA in 2001. He

has won nearly a dozen medals in

international competition, and

most recently was a member of

the Team All-Events champions

at the 2011 USBC Open

Championships.

“I heard a clear message at con-

vention that our member dele-

gates want to be engaged and

informed about USBC’s plans

and specific needs,” Cain said.

“USBC needs to grow and needs

to be bold while reengaging with

the grassroots of our member-

ship. I value our history and am

eager to work toward helping

bridge the generation gap so we

can more effectively bring new

bowlers into our sport.”

Bluth is an attorney and certified

public accountant. He earned a

bachelor’s degree in business

administration as well as

LAS VEGAS – South Point

Bowling Center in Las Vegas will

host the fourth annual Professional

Bowlers Association World Series

of Bowling, a multi-event interna-

tional competition, Nov. 2-11, that

will kick off the 2012-13 PBA Tour

season.

The 2012 World Series of

Bowling, the third consecutive host-

ed by South Point, will feature four

PBA “animal pattern” champi-

onships and conclude with the PBA

World Championship. The package

of events also will include six ESPN

television events, plus the 2012

WTBA World Bowling Tour Finals

presented by the PBA. Two PBA

Regional special events also are in

the preliminary planning stage.

“Since its inception in 2009, the

PBA World Series has evolved into

the true world showcase for bowling

that we hoped it would become,”

Tom Clark said. “Our newly-adopt-

ed relationships with the World

Tenpin Bowling Association to

expand PBA competition around the

world will only enhance the drama

that will unfold when we return to

South Point in November. World

Series IV is going to be fun.”

The World Series, which last year

attracted more than 200 players

from a record 15 different countries,

will get underway with an open

practice session on Friday, Nov. 2.

Over the next four days, competitors

will bowl eight-game qualifying

sessions in the Cheetah, Viper,

Chameleon and Scorpion Opens,

respectively. At the conclusion of

each daily qualifying round, the top

16 players will advance to an addi-

tional six-game qualifying session

to determine the four players who

will advance to the ESPN eliminator

finals.

Combined 32-game pinfall from

the four animal pattern events also

will serve as qualifying scores for

the PBA World Championship. The

top 24 after 32 games will advance

to round robin match play on Nov. 7

and 8. After 24 additional games of

match play, the top eight players

will advance to an eight-player

stepladder final.

Television finals for delayed tele-

cast on ESPN will be conducted on

specially-installed lanes in an exhi-

bition hall at South Casino and

Hotel. The preliminary schedule

calls for the WTBA World Bowling

Tour Men’s and Women’s Finals,

Cheetah Open and Viper Open

finals to be conducted on Saturday,

Nov. 10, with the Scorpion Open,

Chameleon Open and PBA World

Championship stepladder finals (in

two sessions) to be conducted on

Sunday, Nov. 11.
