    Default Florida Labor Day Weekend Tournaments

    There will be a $8,000 UBA tournament Labor Day weekend at Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando. Bowl Florida usually runs a tournament that weekend in the $6-8,000 range as well and about 4-5 miles apart. Great chance to hit both as their semi finals are scheduled to be able to do both. Qualifying for UBA will be Friday through Monday morning and finals Monday afternoon. As long as Bowl Florida runs, it's usually qualify Friday through Sunday and finals Monday morning.

    The two host hotels for the weekend are running $95 a night. I know one is a Holiday Inn Express but I don't recall what the other was. The Holiday Inn is about 3/4 of a mile from Boardwalk.

    Once I get the flyer for both ill post them.

    EDIT to add flyer and link:

    So the "other" tournament organization has since closed up so this will be the only one that weekend that I have found out about.

    Anyone in FL or even GA going? I leave that Friday morning to head down to catch the Friday squads.

    Was high qualifier in the first squad of the tournament and got my auto cut to the semis. Then bowled the 11 pm squad for brackets and didn't do too bad bracket wise considering I took a drop 3rd game. Next time I have to bowl will be the semis Monday evening.

    12:40am and finally home... 90 people went to the semis. I made the next cut to top 20 seeded 16th. Had one more game and moved up to 11th where I finished. All in all a good weekend financially between brackets and tournament itself..

    On a more depressing note, a friend of mine and fellow bowler from my city passed away after bowling Sunday night of a heart attack while at this hotel. He was only 48 which goes to show you that tomorrow is never a gurantee.

    Congrats on the great bowling, and sorry to hear about your friend. That's terrible.
