BARRHEAD – The Blue Heron Bowling centre has bowlers competing in the Survivor Bowl starting Monday, Jan. 27.
“We have 49 of 150 of our bowlers registered for Survivor Bowl,” said Tracy Overeem, manager of the Barrhead Blue Heron Bowling Alley.
“We will be tracking all scores each week and announcing our own local Survivor Bowl winner at the end of the competition.”
The competition is hosted by the Alberta Bowl and is open to its member centres.
Competitors attend and bowl each week in their five-pin bowling leagues.
Their scores for each game played are entered online on the Bowl Alberta website for the Survivor Bowl competition, according to Overeem.
The scores are tabulated based on pins over average.
Pins over average takes a bowler’s game average score subtracted from the player's game total score.
This puts all bowlers on a fair and structured point calculation.
Beginner bowlers and expert-level bowlers can all be evaluated in the same way, which evens the playing field, and anyone can win Survivor Bowl.
Each week during the competition half of the registered bowlers will be eliminated from the provincial competition.
The last 20 bowlers to survive will compete in a big showdown.
The results can be tracked on the Bowl Alberta website at bowlab.ca.
Barrhead’s Blue Heron will be crowning their own Survivor Bowl Champion.
There are league bowling games 5 days a week at the bowling alley.
Monday and Tuesday mixed leagues play in the evenings starting at 7 p.m.
Wednesdays the ladies league plays at 1 p.m. in the afternoon.
Thursday afternoons, the Youth League bowls each week in Barrhead.
On Fridays, there are two groups of 55+ Bowler leagues that play in the morning and afternoon.
Blue Heron Bowl in Barrhead is a five-pin bowling alley.
