We have had inquiries about our 2010/2011 tournament schedule, we have currently suspended holding tournaments at the moment so we may focus on getting more advertising on our website and tournament flyers. These advertising dollars will enable us to maintain this website and the balance will be put towards prize fund in future tournaments. We need your help to grow so please recommend any business you know to get involved, many bowlers have visit our site on a regular basis but have not registered with us (it only takes a moment to do this), our data base is for our own use and we DO NOT share the info with anyone. Lets encourage bowlers to sign up. GTA Bowling has been setup to run nine pin no-tap and handicapped bowling tournaments. Our goal is to offer players the opportunity to compete against other bowlers who are at the same level in the Greater Toronto area. One of the downfalls we have in tenpin bowling is that very little is available for the bowler who carries a 170-205 average, we are unable to compete on the same level as the scratch bowlers and must give up to many pins to compete with the lower average bowlers. After much debate we feel that the format GTA Bowling has come up with will give all 170-205 average bowlers a even ground to compete. Our success will depend on you the bowler, joining our e-mail list and promoting this website to other bowlers will help us succeed.
