The TAT AMATEUR NATIONALS The Orleans Hotel Welcomed Its Guest Bowlers with Southern Nevada Hospitality Las Vegas, - Bowlers loved the bowling center and the
hot casino action at our host center. The Orleans Hotel and Casino really
knows how to take care of the bowlers needs. TAT surpassed the amount
of entries over the July event. TAT had over 5650 entries
for this tournament. The final match was exciting to say the least,
but in the end, James Hall from San Diego California was our
big $25,000 winner. Amateur Bowlers from all over the world once again ascended
on Las Vegas to participate in the TAT Amateur Tournament. They received
as always, real value for their entry fee. Our squads were almost full
to capacity with over 150 bowlers taking part in the early practice
session and the first Chance squad. Our Sunday Free sweeper

players bowled perfect games. The 4 Chance Tournaments had 167 winners. The 4 free events paid out $21,000 with last cash of $100. Winners were, #1 Jeff CLapp, winner #2 was Ryan Oldham #3 Derek Moreci, and #4 was David Velleux.

The Ebonite Demo Days ran from the 1st through the 5th of Feb. and many bowlers who did well used the Demo Days and the Ebonite staff to help them get the right ball reaction. Dino Castilllo, Paul Enright, Vince Woods and Mike Calderon all deserve special thanks from all of us at TAT and from the hundreds of bowlers who utilized their services. TAT would like to welcome Etonic on board. Etonic gave away 32 high performance pairs of shoes to the bowlers in the 4 Chance Tournaments.)
