Team Croskrey leads the Duane Zeier-led Let's Do It by 28 pins after firing a 2,812. Barb Kakalecik's KRCT is currently in third with a 2,802.

Bernie Dickman's 720, on games of 256 and 259, is top score shot by the men. Karin Osborn's 675, with games of 259 and 221, leads the women.

The tournament, which has struggled with entries the past few years, drew 20 teams and 31 entries for the first weekend.

"That's a good first weekend," said Elks manager Rod Hackett. "We think we are going to have a big second weekend.

"We've already had many calls."

Shifts for the last weekend are noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday. On Sunday, teams and doubles can be bowled at noon and 3 p.m.

Mike Bowles, who started and has maintained the site, which by far, is one of the best local bowling web sites in the country, has changed the address to be aligned with last year's merger of the ABC, WIBC and YABA.
