Fifth Brunswick Euro Challenge to be Held in Saint Maximin, France, in March 2008
MUSKEGON, Mich. Oct. 18, 2007 – Organizers are currently planning the 2008 Brunswick Euro Challenge, sponsored by Brunswick Bowling.
The tournament is scheduled for March 7-16, 2008, and will be held at a facility in Saint Maximin, France, and is being organized by Brunswick distributor Valcke Bowling. Plaza Bowling Saint Maximin, a 28-lane Brunswick-equipped facility located 40 kilometers north of Paris, will play host to the event. Plaza Bowling features Brunswick lanes, scoring, pinsetters, pins and lane maintenance. This location was chosen to attract more bowlers from Western European countries such as France, Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, Saint Maximin's close proximity to Charles de Gaulle airport provides easy access to all international participants. Plaza Bowling also offers ample room for spectators to view the entire tournament.
The tournament prize fund is 90,000 Euros (approximately $125,000), and includes special prizes that will be given in categories such as youth encouragement, “B” bowlers, and ladies.
The Brunswick Euro Challenge is a major tournament on the European Bowling Tour and is open to players from all World Tenpin Bowling Association (WTBA) member federations. Organizers are hoping for a record number of entries in the fifth annual tournament. A total of 31 countries from all over the world were represented in the 2007 Brunswick Euro Challenge.
In addition to sponsoring the event, Brunswick will be introducing new bowling balls and conducting drilling and pro shop seminars at the event. The lanes will be cleaned and conditioned with the Authority22® lane maintenance system by Brunswick.
