Women's Series Deemed Successful
May 18, 2012
By: Mark Martin
WOMEN’S SERIES DEEMED SUCCESSFUL
The first season concluded successfully with an invitation only event at the Detroit Athletic Club for the Metro Detroit USBC Association (MDUSBC) Rip 10 Entertainment Women’s Series, presented by Blumark.
The series began after extensive surveying of prospective participants to find the right mix for competitive women’s bowling in Michigan. Surveys showed that a one-day event on Sundays that would conclude in less than five hours, for a reasonable price was the benchmark. With this information the MDUSBC/Rip 10 Women’s Series was created.
The events would include an entry fee of $35, four games of qualifying, single-game single-elimination match play to determine a winner, an advancement ratio of one in three and points awarded to each participant based on event finish for a season long “Cup” prize list.
In the inaugural season each event paid a first place prize of $500 and a minimum prize of $50 for those bowlers who advanced to match play.
Due to the support of the sponsors more money was paid out in each event than was collected in entry fees. The sponsors were Blumark, Rip 10 Entertainment, Metro Detroit USBC Association, Brunswick, Columbia 300, Track, Ebonite, Storm, Roto-Grip and Innes & Lotito.
A season ending invitation only event was held at the Detroit Athletic Club for the bowlers who placed in the top 16 in the points list.
Shelby Lanes in Utica and Van Dyke Bowl in Sterling Heights, part of the Rip 10 Entertainment company, hosted the events and will continue their hosting in the 2012-13 season.
In the seven events, including the Invitational, there were six different champions and the winner of the season-long “Cup” race didn’t win an event. The race was tight all year with the final spots coming down to the final regular event.
Champions in the first season were Julie Oczepek of Reese, two-time winner Erin Williams of Warren, Elaine Wright of Eaton Rapids, Robin Orlikowski of Grand Rapids, Michelle Ewald of Clinton Township and Michelle Keirns of Holt in the Invitational. The “Cup” champion was Lisa Bishop of Belleville, which was worth $1,000 thanks to the sponsors. Fourteen others shared in the total of $3,000 “Cup” prize list.
The 2012-13 season schedule has been released with the following dates: Oct. 14, 2012; Nov. 11, 2012; Jan. 13, 2013; March 10, 2013; April 7, 2013 and May 5, 2013.
The Metro Detroit USBC Association serves over 60,000 adult and youth bowlers in the Metropolitan Detroit market and is the largest local association of the United States Bowling Congress.
Rip 10 Entertainment is headquartered in Utica, Mich. and operates Shelby Lanes in Utica and Van Dyke Bowl in Sterling Heights.
Blumark is a financial services company headquartered in Rochester Hills, Mich.

WOMEN’S SERIES DEEMED SUCCESSFUL
The first season concluded successfully with an invitation only event at the Detroit Athletic Club for the Metro Detroit USBC Association (MDUSBC) Rip 10 Entertainment Women’s Series, presented by Blumark.
The series began after extensive surveying of prospective participants to find the right mix for competitive women’s bowling in Michigan. Surveys showed that a one-day event on Sundays that would conclude in less than five hours, for a reasonable price was the benchmark. With this information the MDUSBC/Rip 10 Women’s Series was created.
The events would include an entry fee of $35, four games of qualifying, single-game single-elimination match play to determine a winner, an advancement ratio of one in three and points awarded to each participant based on event finish for a season long “Cup” prize list.
In the inaugural season each event paid a first place prize of $500 and a minimum prize of $50 for those bowlers who advanced to match play.
Due to the support of the sponsors more money was paid out in each event than was collected in entry fees. The sponsors were Blumark, Rip 10 Entertainment, Metro Detroit USBC Association, Brunswick, Columbia 300, Track, Ebonite, Storm, Roto-Grip and Innes & Lotito.
A season ending invitation only event was held at the Detroit Athletic Club for the bowlers who placed in the top 16 in the points list.
Shelby Lanes in Utica and Van Dyke Bowl in Sterling Heights, part of the Rip 10 Entertainment company, hosted the events and will continue their hosting in the 2012-13 season.
In the seven events, including the Invitational, there were six different champions and the winner of the season-long “Cup” race didn’t win an event. The race was tight all year with the final spots coming down to the final regular event.
Champions in the first season were Julie Oczepek of Reese, two-time winner Erin Williams of Warren, Elaine Wright of Eaton Rapids, Robin Orlikowski of Grand Rapids, Michelle Ewald of Clinton Township and Michelle Keirns of Holt in the Invitational. The “Cup” champion was Lisa Bishop of Belleville, which was worth $1,000 thanks to the sponsors. Fourteen others shared in the total of $3,000 “Cup” prize list.
The 2012-13 season schedule has been released with the following dates: Oct. 14, 2012; Nov. 11, 2012; Jan. 13, 2013; March 10, 2013; April 7, 2013 and May 5, 2013.
The Metro Detroit USBC Association serves over 60,000 adult and youth bowlers in the Metropolitan Detroit market and is the largest local association of the United States Bowling Congress.
Rip 10 Entertainment is headquartered in Utica, Mich. and operates Shelby Lanes in Utica and Van Dyke Bowl in Sterling Heights.

He remained in the winner’s bracket with victories over Mason Brantley of Detroit 382-320, Jason Stephenson of Davison 438-406, Brian Thompson of Flat Rock 400-398, J.R. Raymond of Saginaw 453-406 and Edwards the first time 461-429.
He also won a paid entry into the 2013 United States Bowling Congress Masters tournament.
“What can I say; tough lanes; great turnout; I’ll take it.” said Waliczek. “I was fortunate to sneak in, then overnight I developed a new lane play strategy and it worked.”
Waliczek averaged 206 for 18 games of competition.
Edwards qualified seventh with 1,283. He also remained in the winner’s bracket with triumphs over Angelo Newby of Waterford Township 364-350, Jeremy Dixson of Saginaw 481-399, Bo Goergen of Sanford 371-353, Jeff Suma Sr. of Auburn Hills 437-409 before getting knocked into the loser’s bracket by Waliczek 461-429.

Anderson had to win a one-game rolloff defeating James Koss of Brighton 214-194 to secure the 32nd and final spot. His qualifying score was 1,207. In match play he beat top qualifier Nathan Hause of Charlotte 372-370 before falling into the loser’s bracket with a loss Bob Chamberlain Jr. of Holly.

Once in the loser’s bracket he knocked out Andrew Burke of St. Clair Shores 477-467, Brian Thompson 403-364 and Jeffrey Suma Sr. 402-346 before avenging his earlier loss to J.R. Raymond 404-392 and finally falling to Jeff Edwards 458-370 to end his day. Anderson averaged 199 and took home $1,500.
