Vegas Bowling, Osnabrück, Germany

7th to 11th March 2018

The first stop on the 2018 ISBT tour returned to Vegas Bowling in Osnabrück in Germany for the 13th running of Arthur’s Senior Open. A total of 73 men and 26 women competed this year, the format for the tournament was 12 games qualifying from two 6 game blocks, with re-entries allowed.

Age bonus started at age 51 (1 pin per game), then increased by one pin for every additional year of age with no limit. There were additional opportunities to qualify for the finals through Early Bird and Turbo rankings, and for the men a scratch ranking. As with all ISBT events, there was a separate division for ladies. The tournament was played on the Kegel Stone Street pattern, which is from the Kegel Recreational library.

The tournament started on Wednesday, with qualifying continuing until the end of Saturday. The final men’s rankings saw two UK bowlers at the top, Alan Jenkins with 2944 a significant distance ahead of Lol Ellis’ score of 2897. Krzysztof Olesinski from Poland was in third place with 2885. The top 7 would miss the first final round on Sunday, in seventh place was Harald Punessen from Germany. The last qualifier from the normal standings was Klaus-Uwe Lischka also from Germany, with 2675. The players from 8th to 25th, plus six Earlybird and four Turbo qualifiers would bowl the first final round.

In the ladies’ section, Hilleve Huhta from Finland was top with 2672, ahead of Liliane Vintens from Belgium, and Marianne Pelz from Germany. Only the top six would automatically go forward to the final, this place was held by Rosemarie Greve from Germany with 2479. These six would be joined by two Turbo and two Earlybird qualifiers.

The first final round was held early on Sunday morning, and was a four game block, starting from scratch. This was won by Miroslaw Pajak from Poland, ahead of Helmut Ulber and André Geelen from Belgium. The cut for the next round was Manfred Rupertinger from Germany with 899.

In the second final round, the top seven from qualifying now joined the remaining players, and Giorgio Desimio from Belgium led with 1006 over the four games, ahead of Germans Hermann Wimmer and Helmut Ulber. The top ten would go forward to the final round, this place was held by Steve Carnell with 867.

Helmut Ulber continued his fine form in the grand final, and finished an easy winner with 1046 over the four game final, ahead of Berny Stőckl from Germany and Lol Ellis.

The first ladies’ final round saw Martina Beckel from Germany lead with 806 from Marianne Pelz and Marian Verhoef from the Netherlands. Farida Pascoal-Blom also from the Netherlands was the fourth and final qualifier for the ladies’ grand final.

In the ladies’ final, Martina Beckel had a single pin lead after three games, but a 278 made her the easy overall winner, ahead of Marianne Pelz and Marian Verhoef.

The next stop is the Euro Bowling Senior Open, held at Euro Bowling in Deurne, Belgium. The tournament runs from the 29th March to 1st April.
