The address is 9650 94 Avenue.  Phone 780-538-2695

A couple of recommended hotels in the area are the Sandman Pomeroy (100 Street), and the Best Western.

We now have a Facebook page for our Senior Division.  It is Senior Division Masters of Alberta.  Thank you to Sarah Simmons for creating this page for us!

It is very important to let Bev know whether you will or will not be attending if you have qualified for the Provincials.  We are required to let our proprietor know 1 week prior to the tournament how many bowlers we will have.  If you pull out of the tournament after March 11, please be advised that you will be charged for the tournament.

We will require average verification for those bowlers who have not yet completed 5 tournaments.  Please e-mail, if possible, to Bev @ bgigliuk@gmail.com  by March 10, 2023, or call to let Bev know what your average (or averages if you bowl more than 1 league) are so we can have that information available for the lanes.  You will be required to bring your average verification(s) with you to the tournament if you are unable to e-mail them.  You can reach Bev by phone at 403-340-8961 or 403-597-7674.

The cost of the Senior Provincials will be $115.00 which will cover lineage for the weekend. There will be Pins Over Average as well as Scratch singles pots available to enter into. The cost will be $10.00 per pot per day. You can enter one or both or none of the pots for either day. This is strictly optional.

Please be prepared to stay and fill out some forms and get sized up for shirts and pick a coach if you qualify for the National team.  

You will also be required to purchase 2 elimination draw tickets at $25.00 each which needs to be paid immediately following the Provincial Tournament.

There are also some forms that need to be filled out at the completion of the Provincials if you are a National qualifier. One of the forms requires medical history as well as current medical conditions and medications, Doctor’s name(s) and contact information. We have found in the past that this information is not always readily available to each individual on short notice, so if you have any medical information that you think will be relevant, please prepare it ahead of time and bring it with you. I guarantee it will save you some time to have that pre-prepared.

Tournament Rates Change for Teaching/Senior Division

The board of directors had a meeting on October 15, 2022 and there is an update to the tournament charges.

1.  No shows will continue to be responsible for their lineage if they do not show up and the lineage has been charged by the proprietor.  If the proprietor does not charge, then of course you will not need to pay.  The association will not charge the bowler their portion of the administration fees. (**Remember that all bowlers should notify the zone director that they are coming to the tournament a week in advance and so that they are able to notify the proprietor.  If your proprietor does not charge for “no shows” then this will not affect the bowler.)

2.  The tournament rate has changed for teaching and senior division.  The new tournament rate is what the proprietor charges per game up to $8.00 per game (for Sunday tournaments only) plus $46.  This does not affect the rookie /under 21 rate.  It will remain as $65 for the tournament.

For example:
Proprietor charges $7 per game – 8 games x $7 = $56 plus

Association Fee – $46

The total would be: $102.

Your Zone Director will confirm with you as to the cost of the tournament.

Master Bowlers’ Association of Alberta

                                                August 2022

Welcome back for another season of the Master Bowlers Association of Alberta.

Dear Fellow Masters,

To assist our tournament directors and hosting proprietors, we are asking for your cooperation when participating in our tournaments.

You must Pre-Register with the zone directors a week prior to the tournament. This will allow the proprietors to book the appropriate number of lanes for the tournament. This also helps the proprietor enter names into the electronic scoring before the tournament begins. These actions will help in getting our tournaments started on time.  

We are now negotiating with Bowl Alberta as some of the proprietors would like to institute a “no show” policy where if the bowler does not show to the event, they will be charging the Master Bowlers the lineage for that person.  Those charges will need to be passed onto the bowler and they will be charged the amount. The bowler will not be a member in good standing until the amount is paid.  Bottom line, it may come to “you are saying you are going to be there then you will need to show up or cancel one week prior”.  We will keep you posted as to the outcome.
