The 60' Tenpin Bowling Challenge 2011 "The USPTN" Edition (29.01.2011 - 30.01.2011)

The 60' Tenpin Bowling Challenge 2011

The USPTN team of coaches has taken their own initiative to organize a monthly tournament for the youths in Sarawak. The tournament will be called "The 60' Tenpin Bowling Challenge 2011" consisting of 11 monthly editions and one Grand Finals.
Participants will earn points in the monthly editions depending on their placings and the top 12 after the 11th edition will then qualify themselves to take part in the Grand Finals. The attraction of this tournament and its editions is that every edition will see a different format of play such as, plastic ball challenge, match play, knockout, and others. This is too make the tournament more exciting a to prepare our youths to the different format of play in bowling. Prizes will also defer in every edition as it depends on the availability of funds as the coaches objective of organizing this monthly tournament is to promote exposure and competition among the youths and not developing them into future "money bowlers".
Every edition will also have a special name, example, the first edition scheduled on the 29th to 30th of January, 2011 shall bear the name "The 60' Tenpin Bowling Challenge 2011 "The USPTN" Edition" being that the tournament prizes are sponsored by USPTN. Any sponsor that invest into encouraging this tournament shall have an edition bearing their personal or corporate name whichever they deem fit.
This being a personal initiative by the coaches, funds are self raised and limited and we hope anyone interested in further developing and preparing our state youths would kindly sponsor an edition to keep it going. Your support and involvement is very much needed and appreciated. Any interested sponsor or anyone with any constructive opinions and suggestions please write it down in the comment column or contact Mr, Reginald Walter Angkas, Mr. Angelo Koay, Mr. Myron Khoo or Mr. Jeff Chin.
