The 1st Annual California USBC Queen’s Tournament was held the weekend of July 14 & 15, 2007 at Kearny Mesa Bowl in San Diego with 50 participants. Because of the low number of entrants, the committee met on Friday afternoon to discuss the possibility of eliminating the first round of 32 bowlers in the finals on Sunday. This motion was approved. On Saturday, two qualifying rounds of six games each were bowled. At the end of the qualifying rounds, Dede Davidson was leading with a score of 1440. The high game of the qualifying rounds was a 289 game bowled by Dede Davidson and Christina Wickey. The high series of the qualifying rounds was a 739 series bowled by Laura Lee Daniel. Sunday morning, the top 16 bowlers began the final rounds. Andrea Snyder completed this portion of the tournament with a 763 series. The high game of this round was a 279 games bowled by Andrea Snyder. Pam Pancoast was alternate with a score of 1274. The top eight bowlers then began the second round of the finals at 12:00 PM: Andrea Snyder (763); Dede Davidson (753); Michele Carter (695); Jennifer Jones (688); Elisabeth Collins (675); Gina Mauk (664); Rachel Elhard (660); and Laura Lee Daniel (659). In this round of competition, Jennifer Jones bowled a very nice 300 game. Rachel Elhard captured the top spot for the stepladder finals with a super 793 series. The stepladder finals bowlers were from top to bottom, Rachel Elhard (793); Laura Lee Daniel (771); Dede Davidson (732); Jennifer Jones (699); and Elisabeth Collins (696). The match between Elisabeth Collins and Jennifer Jones ended with Jennifer moving on to bowl Dede Davidson. Dede moved on to bowl Laura Lee. This game ended with a 235 tie, so a 9th & 10th frame roll-off was held. That also ended in a tie, so a second roll-off was completed, with Dede moving on to the final match with Rachel. After the last ball had been rolled, Dede Davidson was crowned the Queen. No date or place has been chosen to hold the 2008 2nd Annual Queen’s Tournament. That will be decided and announced later. Compliments go out to the bowlers who competed in this tournament, and also to the staff, management and employees of Kearny Mesa Bowl for their help when needed. Fred Pasquarella and his score monitors have done an excellent job,
