TOURNAMENT
RESULTS Williamsburg Inn Lawn Bowling Club |
The
following table shows results from WILBC tournaments and matches.
After the table there are comments about each event, with the most
recent event listed first.
Eaton-Mahone Pairs This tournament was originally scheduled for August, but Hurricane Irene won the event at that time. So it was rescheduled for November. It is the annual club pairs championship.
The eight teams played a round robin. It was good competition; every team won at least one game and no team was undefeated. At the end of the first day, three teams were tied and two others were close behind. On Sunday several of the contending teams played each other, producing a greater spread. In the final round, Paul Howland and Jack Edwards defeated Bill Bryant and Lew LeCompte 6-4 to win the championship. Jim Halter and Joan Miller, who beat three contenders on Sunday, were a close second with 11 points.
Others playing were Lorri Veden and Bob Hunt; Chico and Ed Watanabe; Ron Landa and Dan Berg; Ray Nugent and Jim McCaffrey; Frances Knight and Jerry Egan.
Williamsburg Open Pairs This tournament has been played on the last weekend in October for many years. This year there were 13 teams -- eight teams from other clubs plus five from our club. Unfortunately, a storm completely washed out play on Saturday. Sunday was a fine day; we played four rounds of short games. The first two rounds were qualifying rounds, after which four teams went into a "final four": Art Anderson and Dick Kattan, Ron Landa and Emedio Bracalente, Joe Kelly and Ryan Hastu, and Wick and Anita Hall. The winners of those two games (Landa-Bracalente and Kelly-Hastu) then played for the championship. Joe Kelly and Ryan Hastu from New York won the title.
Others from Williamsburg were Bill Bryant, Dick Landauer, Paul Howland, Jack Edwards, Dan Berg, Lew LeCompte, Jim Halter, and Frances Knight.
Mixed Pairs This is an annual club championship, one of three tournaments with a trophy. Eight teams entered this year, playing a round robin. The event turned out to be Susan and Dan Berg, and seven other pairs.
The Bergs won six of seven games to win the championship. Six other teams were bunched in the middle, finishing far behind the Bergs. The Bergs have won this championship for four consecutive years.
Other pairs were Edith and Jack Edwards, Jay and Linda Alphin, Cynthia Bryant and Lew LeCompte, B. J. Padley and Jim Halter, Frances Knight and Paul Howland, Carol and Charles Wynder, and Bill Bryant and Joan Miller.
Labor Day Match This is another intra-club match, where the 20 players were divided into the Red team and the Black team. After random distribution, the teams appeared to be fairly evenly divided. The Reds demolished that idea, winning all five games in round 1, three of five in round 2, and splitting the games in round 3. The final score: Reds 10, Blacks 4.
The robust Reds were Joan Miller, Paul Howland, Sissy Hall, Bob Hunt, Jim Halter, Ray Nugent, Peter Hall, Tom McArdle, Lew LeCompte, and Susan Berg. The bumbling Blacks were Frances Knight, Jim McCaffrey, Charles Wynder, Bill Bryant, Jack Edwards, Clyde Haulman, Carol Wynder, Edith Edwards, Dan Berg, and Cary Carson.
Let Jack Lie Singles In this tournament, the jack is delivered as always, but it is not centered to begin the end. The challenge for the bowler is reaching jacks in very unusual places.
Eleven members were divided into two groups. After the five game round robins, Joan Miller and Jim Halter were tied in group A while Jack Edwards won group B. Before the final round could be played, rain came and forced suspension of play, so most of the last round was finished the following week. Joan Miller beat Jim Halter in a playoff to win group A, then defeated Jack Edwards for the championship. Charles Wynder beat Jim Halter for third place. Others who played were Ray Nugent, Jerry Egan, Ron Landa, Frances Knight, Edith Edwards, Clyde Haulman, and B. J. Padley.
Summer Triples Hall, Hall, and Haulman may sound like a 1960s New York law firm. But it is not. It is the team that won the Summer triples: Peter Hall, Sissy Hall, and Clyde Haulman.
In this tournament, each team is required to have a player who has joined the club in the past three years. New players this year were Clyde Haulman, Cynthia Bryant, Ray Nugent, Kay Hess, and Herm Hess.
Four teams played; three were tied at the end of the round robin. In the first playoff game, Lew LeCompte, Bill Bryant, and Cynthia Bryant defeated Joan Miller, Ray Nugent, and Frances Knight by a single point. In the second and final playoff, LeCompte-Bryant-Bryant and Hall-Hall-Haulman were tied at the end of regulation. In the sudden death extra end, Hall-Hall-Haulman scored to claim the championship.
Round Robin Pairs In this club tournament, we play a round robin no matter how many teams enter. Thus the number of teams determines the length of the games. This year there were six teams, so we played a five game round robin.
At the conclusion of the round robin, two teams were tied with 4-1 records: Carol and Charles Wynder, and Susan and Dan Berg. Carol and Charles won a playoff game 9-6 to win the championship. Other teams were Paul Howland and Lew LeCompte; Edith and Jack Edwards; Frances Knight and Ray Nugent; Clyde Haulman and Cary Carson.
Northeast Division singles playdowns Playdowns are held in each part of the country to determine those who qualify to play in the United States Championships. The playdowns in the Northeast Division, which runs from Maine to Virginia, were held in Williamsburg on July 9-11.
Eight women participated, playing a full round robin. Michele Arculli, a member of the Essex LBC in New Jersey, won all seven of her games to claim the title. Last year she played in the Championship on a Northeast pairs team. Emily Gold of New York and Joan Miller of Williamsburg finished with 5-2 records in the round robin. In a playoff for second place, Gold won. Other players from Williamsburg were Ann Wuest and Susan Berg.
There were also eight players in the men's group. After the round robin, three players led the field with 5-2 records: Bill Borowitz from Connecticut, Colin Smith from New Jersey, and Dan Berg from Williamsburg. Berg was successful in the playoffs, first beating Smith and then Borowitz to become the champion. This will be Berg's fifth trip to the Championship; the first one was in Jefferson Park, Seattle, where the Championship will be held again this year. Other players from Williamsburg were Bill Bryant, Jerry Egan, Ron Landa, and Jack Edwards.
In Seattle, Michele Arculli and Dan Berg will join the teams who won the Northeast pairs playdowns held in Williamsburg in June. They are Rusty Hein and Eileen Luba from Pittsburgh, and Gene Oka and Tom Rabolli from the New York LBC.
Independence Day Match On every July 4, there is an intra-club match. This year 23 players participated in a match between the Patriots and the Redcoats. The randomly selected teams were exceedingly close this year: pending the completion of the final match, the teams were 8-8 with one tie. The future of the nation could have gone either way. The Patriot pair was one up coming home, and held on to win its game, sealing the victory for the Patriots.
Players for the Patriots were Charles Wynder, Dan Berg, Bill Bryant, Martha Blanks, Cynthia Bryant, Jay Alphin, Jack Edwards, Jerry Egan, Ed Blanks, B. J. Padley, Carol Wynder, and Jim McCaffrey. The Redcoats were Linda Alphin, Susan Berg, Joan Miller, Lorri Veden, Bob Fichter, Edith Edwards, Paul Howland, Frances Knight, Lorraine Landauer, Dick Landauer, and Christine Born.
Match with Pinehurst Each year Williamsburg plays a match with Pinehurst, alternating sites. The winner gets to keep the Challenge Cup for a year. In 2010, Williamsburg won the Cup in Pinehurst after Pinehurst had held it for 13 years. This year the match was in Williamsburg.
Each club had four pairs in each round. Williamsburg built up an early lead by winning three of the four games in the first round, and all of the games in the second round. After the two clubs split the games in both rounds three and four, Williamsburg had amassed enough points to retain the Cup. The final score was 22-10.
Players for Williamsburg were Lew LeCompte, Bill Bryant, Emedio Bracalente, Joan Miller, Frances Knight, Bob Hunt, Jim Halter, Ron Landa, Lorri Veden, Susan Berg, Dan Berg, Carol Wynder, and Jack Edwards.
Northeast Division Pairs Playdowns The pairs playdowns of the Northeast Division were played in Williamsburg on June 4-6. The winners qualified to play in the U. S.Championship in Seattle in late August.
There were four pairs in the women's event. At the end of the round robin, two teams were tied with records of two wins and one tie (they had tied in the first round). A playoff game was held on Sunday afternoon. Eileen Luba and Rusty Hein of Frick Park in Pittsburgh defeated Linda Alphin and Edith Edwards of the Williamsburg club, 16-5, to win the title.
Eight teams entered the men's event. They played a full round robin -- three games on Saturday, three more on Sunday, and the final game Monday morning. At the end of the round robin, three teams were tied with records of 5-2. In the first playoff game, Maurice Lafond and Jerry DeMello, both residents of Rhode Island, defeated Dan Berg and Ed Reynolds, both members of the Williamsburg club, 12-4. In the final playoff game, Lafond and DeMello played Tom Rabolli and Gene Oka of the New York LBC. At the end of regulation, the teams were tied. In the sudden death overtime, Rabolli and Oka scored to claim the victory, 8-7.
Other members of the Williamsburg who participated were Joan Miller, Susan Berg, Bill Bryant, Dick Landauer, Lew LeCompte, Rob Goldman, Jay Alphin and Burl Roller.
Fran Healey Women's Singles Named after a former member of the club, this tournament is open to all women in the club. The six players this year played a round robin. Susan Berg won all five games to claim the title. Joan Miller finished second, losing only to Susan. Others players were Martha Blanks, Christine Born, B. J. Padley, and Frances Knight.
Townsend Singles This tournament is the annual club singles championship. Lew LeCompte won the championship for the fourth time in the past two decades; his name first appeared on the trophy in 1994.
He won in convincing fashion. After losing 12-11 to Susan Berg in the first round, he won every game by a large margin. The winner of group B, he played for the title against Emedio Bracalente, who won group A. Lew was victorious, 19-8.
Charles Wynder defeated Frances Knight 9-4 for third place. Others in the tournament were Bill Bryant, Tom Mcardle, Joan Miller, Jack Edwards, and Jerry Egan.
Venus v. Mars This event pits the women from Venus against the men from Mars. With five players on each side, there were two pairs and one singles in each of the three rounds. The match this year may have been the closest one in our history. After two rounds, the men led 4-2. In the final round, the three games were decided by a total of four points. The men won two of the close games to win the match 6-3, but it easily could have gone the other way.
After the second round, the players adjourned for lunch to the Golden Horseshoe. The women won all three of the singles games while the men won all six pairs. Those playing were Lorri Veden, Joan Miller, Edith Edwards, Patti Gray, Frances Knight, Ray Nugent, Jack Edwards, Lew LeCompte, Bob Hunt, and Bob Fichter.
Williamsburg Invitational This is a four club event: Frick Park (Pittsburgh), Pinehurst, Williamsburg, and a fourth club named the All Stars with players from different places. There were three rounds of pairs games on Saturday to determine position for Sunday; the two clubs with the best records on Saturday played for the championship on Sunday, with the other two clubs playing for third place. The competition on Saturday was close: Williamsburg finished with 12 points, Frick Park with 10, Pinehurst with 8, and the All Stars with 6.
In play on Sunday, Williamsburg won 2 of 3 games over Frick Park in the first round. In the second and final round, the two teams each won a game, so the result came down to the final match between Anita and Wick Hall from Frick Park and Carol and Charles Wynder from Williamsburg. The Halls needed 3 points on the last end to win. They got 2 of them, with the Wynders winning 18-17. It was a fitting climax since the Wynders were the most dominating team in the match, winning all 5 of their matches.
Pinehurst won 2 of 3 games in each round on Sunday against the All Stars, and claimed third place by defeating the All Stars, 9-3.
In addition to the Wynders, other players for Williamsburg were Jim McCaffrey, Lew LeCompte, Paul Howland, and Jack Edwards. Those 3 pairs won a playoff to see who would represent Williamsburg. Several Williamsburg members bowled for the All Stars: Joan Miller, Dick Landauer, Emedio Bracalente, and Bob Hunt. Bill Bryant was the score keeper.
Handicap Singles 16 players entered the Handicap Singles on April 9-10. Each player had an assigned handicap, and they played four rounds in a "similar records" format. After three rounds, Jerry Egan and Charles Wynder were undefeated. In the final round, Egan beat Wynder, 24-8. Egan scored more than 20 points in all of his games, and won by lop-sided scores in each of them.
Those who finished with 3-1 records were Charles Wynder, Patti Gray, Lorraine Landauer, and Jack Edwards. Others who played were Bob Hunt, Bill Bryant, Carol Wynder, Frances Knight, Emedio Bracalente, Tom McCardle, Brian Tucker, Dick Landauer, Lew LeCompte, Ray Nugent, and Paul Howland.
Particular thanks go to Brian Tucker, a new member from Wilmington DE, who filled in to complete the bracket, and performed very creditably. Bill Bryant, Bob Hunt, and Lew LeCompte were instrumental in setting up for the tournament.
