QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup gets under way
The 51st QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup got under way this evening in Sam’s Town, Las Vegas, USA, with an impressive opening ceremony.
An introduction from a Dixieland band set the tone then all the participating countries marched into the theatre in order and were greeted by our VIPs: Martin Faba, President, Pan American Bowling Federation, and Emanuele Govoni, Chief Executive Officer of QubicaAMF.
Bowlers include the defending champion in the women’s section, Clara Guerrero of Colombia, as well as three other women who have won the trophy in the past – Shannon Pluhowsky of the USA (2002 and 2004), Kerry Ryan-Ciach of Canada (2003) and Aumi Guerra of the Dominican Republic (2010 and 2011). And Macedonia will be competing for the very first time.
John Sou, Vice President, General Manager, Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, welcomed everyone to Las Vegas and the facilities of Sam’s Town, before Martin Faba wished everyone good luck. It was up to Emanuele Govoni to speak to the champions of every country and say: “Let the games begin!”
The oaths of fair play and fair judging were taken and the party began with players and official guests enjoying a reception and typical Las Vegas hospitality.
Anne-Marie Board, Bowling World Cup Manager, commented: “I am so pleased to see so many bowlers here, old friends and new. We have 88 countries competing this year and I would particularly like to welcome our returning champions and our newcomer nation. No woman has ever won the event three times so I am sure the competition will be great. And we know we will have a new name on the men’s trophy come Thursday evening.”
The competition gets under way tomorrow (Sunday) with all the players bowling their first set of eight games.
