French Senior Open 2020

ISBT Tour 2020 Stop 1

Bowling Van Gogh, Villeneuve-d’Ascq, France

11th to 16th February 2020

Champions: Martina Beckel and Patrick Rolland

The first tour stop for 2020 was at Bowling Van Gogh in Villeneuve-d’Ascq, France, and saw 76 men and 21 women travel to compete in the event. The format for the tournament was a single 6 game qualifying block, with unlimited re-entries. For those not able to qualify this way, there were additional opportunities through Scratch scores, Turbo games and a Desperado squad. Age bonus started at age 51 (1 pin per game), then increased a pin for every additional year of age with no limit. As with all ISBT events, there was a separate division for ladies. The tournament was played on the Brunswick Crown Jewel lane pattern.

Nine qualifying squads were played, with the top 24 men and 8 women automatically progressing to the final stages.

Bowling started on Thursday, with three squads being played. Jean Marc Marin from France led the way with 1428 including age bonus, just ahead of Dominique de Nolf from Belgium. In the ladies’ section, Netherland’s Farida Pascoal-Blom had a healthy lead with 1287, ahead of Liliane Vintens from Belgium.

There were three more squads on Friday, and Jean Marc Marin was again top player with 1474, but the highlight was a 300 game for Chris Ellis from England in the first Friday squad, this was his first ever perfect game. England ladies led Friday’s scores, Jan Hodge scoring 1271, ahead of Kimberley Oakley.

The final day had three more squads. The first was won by Klaus-Uwe Lischka from Germany, while there were big scores in the ladies’ section, with 1343 from Nadia Goron from France, and 1325 from Martina Beckel from Germany.

In the second squad, Didier Marmon from France shot 1478 to just edge out Keith Hodge from England. A strong block of 1298 from Lynne Walker from Wales ensured her place in the finals.

In the final squad, Patrick Rolland from France led with a slightly improved score of 1377 ahead of Mo Singleton from England. None of the ladies bowling improved into finals positions.

At the end of qualification, the men’s qualification list was led by Didier Marmon with 1478, ahead of Keith Hodge, Jean Marc Marin and Mike Halliwell from England. These four would go straight to the last finals round. The cut for qualification in 24th place was Robert Bruce from Wales with 1341. These 24 would be joined by three Scratch, three Turbo and two Desperado qualifiers.

In the ladies’ section, Nadia Goron was leader with 1343, ahead of Martina Beckel, Lynne Walker and Farida Pascoal-Blom. These four would also go straight to the last final round. The cut for qualification at eighth place was 1241, scored by Marie Anne Brancourt from France. Two Turbo, one Scratch and one Desperado qualifier would make up the ladies’ final.

The Desperado was contested by 12 men and 5 women, Les Grant from England found a big game of 283 to win comfortably, ahead of Uwe Tscharke from Germany. Veronique Perniaux from Belgium took the final ladies place.

The finals started with the men bowling a four-game block, starting from scratch. Patrick Rolland from France led this block with 1002. The top twelve would progress to the semi-final round, last place going to Frank Lindsay from England.

These twelve were joined by qualifiers 5 to 8 for a further four-game block. In the very first game, Uwe Tscharke suddenly found his strike line, and recorded the second 300 game of the tournament. He also won the round with 1061, with the top 8 players going forward to the final round.

The men’s final clearly belonged to Partick Rolland, who scored 1025 to win by over 70 pins from second place Klaus-Uwe Lischka, with André Geelen from Belgium finishing in third place.

In the ladies’ semi-final, Veronique Perniaux opened up a big lead early on, and stayed there until the end, with Jan Hodge finishing some 40 pins behind.

In the ladies’ final, Lynne Walker started with a huge 270 opening game, but was then slowly overhauled by Martina Beckel, who finished champion, with Lynne Walker in second place, ahead of Farida Pascoal-Blom.

The next stop on the ISBT tour is Arthur’s Senior Open, which takes place from the 4th to 8th March at Vegas Bowling in Osnabruck, Germany. Full details are available at the ISBT web site, http://www.isbtbowlingtour.eu.
