the Bar for AllieWright or Brenda Perrotti. Sponsor money for race is due on or before March 1, 2020. We need this information by that date so that the food can be ordered for the buffet. Buffet will include winter comfort foods and dessert.

We’re hosting the National Bowling Tournament!!
We will have a meeting on Tuesday, February 17th at 7:00 p.m. Just as with the National Golf tournament, we
will need many hands to help run this tournament.
Unlike the past, the tournament will only be for ONEWEEKEND, MAY 2nd and 3rd and we are using the
Flamingo Lanes in Liverpool. There will be 2 squads on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for doubles &
singles. Then on Sunday there will also be two squads for the team event with the first at 9:00 a.m. and then
at Noon. We are asking all Syracuse bowlers to bowl on the early squad on Saturday for doubles and singles
and the late squad on Sunday for the team event so the teams from out of town will be able to get on the road
early after bowling on Sunday. We will have sign-up sheets in the bowling alleys in the next week so get your
teams together.
Any questions, please contact Judy Bacon ant 315-575-1677.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMINDER:
Master's Qualifiers - LAST CHANCE - Your Dues must be paid in full by Thursday if your name is to be in the Calcutta on Friday and you will be allowed to bowl next Saturday.
The Master's Committee is still in need of Tournament Sponsors. All Sponsorship money goes directly to the Bowlers Prize funds - 100% Return.
Roll Offs begin at 11:30 Next Saturday February 22nd and continue at 2:30. See the posted start times that are posted in the Bowling Lanes.
We hope this doesn't happen, however it seems to every year.... IF someone can not bowl at the stated time, BOTH BOWLERS Must agree to bowl at the opposite time slot (no before, after or different day bowling) AND those bowlers MUST fine a pair of bowlers in the opposite time slot to swap with them. The Committee will not make these changes for you. ALL EFFECTED BOWLERS MUST AGREE to the time change.
Are you having a family birthday party, a baby shower, a wedding shower, a wedding, or whatever! Why not check
out the club rates and have your parties’ right here! Many of our members have done just that and can’t believe how much they saved by hosting their party right here at their club!
Also, do your kids like bowling parties? Then check out the unbelievable rates we offer compared to other bowling

SECOND REQUEST!!
After 15 years of doing the Spirit, I REALLY need to hang up my computer and let someone else put a new
twist into the Spirit. If you would be willing to take care of putting together the Spirit once a month for the
months of September through June, please let me know. I just have too many other obligations at this time
and it’s also time for some new “blood” to give this newsletter a fresh new look! You can contact me at
judybacon@hotmail.com or call me at 315-575-1677 for any questions you may have.
Masters Update:
Due to some scheduling conflicts and in an attempt to get as many participants as possible for this years Masters Bowling Tournament, the schedule has been adjusted as follows:
Everyone will bowl on February 22nd at 11:30 AM or 2:30 PM. As in the past few years, the first round of qualifying will be single elimination. Winners of the first round will bowl again on Sunday 2/23 at 11:30 AM with the losers of those matches bowling a second match on Sunday at 2:30 PM.
Winners and 1 time losers from the Sunday 2/23 rounds will continue on Saturday and Sunday 2/29 and 3/1 with the Final Four being determined on by the end of bowling on Sunday 3/1.
Finals will be Saturday March 7th at 3:00 pm
-------------------------------------
The Masters Tournament Format will remain unchanged this season. The first matches (Feb. 8th) of the tournament will be SINGLE
ELIMINATION matches, quickly taking 32 bowlers down to 16. These 16 winners will then begin double eliminations. The idea is to
shorten the length of time needed to commit, resulting in a greater number of bowlers participating. As in years past, we’ll hold a
“Bowler Calcutta” auction on Friday night, February 7th in the main bar of the Club beginning at 7:00 PM SHARP.
Championship matches, will be announced shortly. Watch your Turner Blast for the details. The championship match
will be formatted as a 4 BOWLER LADDER ROLL OFF: 2 game matches, beginning with 4th place vs. third. The winner of
that match then takes on the 2" place finalist, and the winner of that match will then try to beat the one undefeated
contestant (twice).
The final matches should roll along at a fast and furious pace, with the 4 Bowlers competing for the Masters Champion
title. After this has been determined, pictures will be taken, awards will be presented and following that, think CELEBRATION
The journey begins with the 10th annual Arlene Sutor Qualifying Tournament which begins the week of January 13th is open
to all bowlers with an established average whether they can manage the Masters or not. A “secret score” and first place prizes
will be awarded. As before, qualifying takes place during regular league bowling. A “Last Chance” qualifying round will be
held on February 1st at 12:00 Noon for any non-league bowlers or league bowlers who want to give it one last chance to better
their qualifying position. League Qualifying costs are $7.00 for the 1st qualifying attempt and $5.00 for subsequent attempts.
Fee for Non-League bowlers qualifying in the Last Chance round will be $10.00.
