Weber Cup
The Weber Cup is an annual men's ten-pin bowling competition between Team Europe and Team USA, named after professional ten-pin bowler Dick Weber. It is often referred to as "bowling's equivalent of golf's Ryder Cup". Teams of five from the United States and from Europe compete over three days. The tournament includes a series of single, double, and team (baker) matches.
The Weber Cup championship begins every year in October. The inaugural event was held in 2000 in Warsaw, Poland. All matches are played in a single lane arena, constructed for the event, with banked spectators on both sides. The Weber Cup is shown live on Sky Sports in the UK and on many other international channels around the world.
During the first seven events, from 2000 to 2006, 35 matches were played. Each match is worth one point, and the first team to obtain 18 points wins the tournament. From 2007 onward, the competition has included 33 matches, and the first team to receive 17 points wins the tournament.
The United States had won the first three competitions from 2000 to 2002. In 2003, missing their captain Tim Mack, the United States lost the lead to the Europeans early on day one and never recovered it. Team Europe, led by captain Tomas Leandersson, won the Weber Cup for the first time in November 2003.
Following Europe's recent success in the Ryder Cup earlier in the year, the European ten-pin bowling team went on to a second victory in the Weber Cup at the Altrincham Leisure Centre. Team USA maintained a one-point lead at 11–10 after the first two days of play, but Team Europe pulled away on the third day to secure a final score of 18-11.
In 2005, the Europeans fell behind 14–16, but during the final session of play they won the first 4 singles games. Europe took the title for the third successive year, with a final score of 18–16. As in the previous year, Team Europe captain, Tomas Leandersson won the final point over Team USA's Tony Manna Jr.
In the closest tournament to date; Team USA won on the final evening of the contest, by 18–17.
Team Europe's Paul Moor bowled the first perfect game in the Weber Cup to start the competition against Jason Couch, but by the end of the first day, Team USA led 4–2. The other European win in the first session came from Tomas Leandersson against Chris Barnes. Tommy Jones defeated Mika Koivuniemi, Tim Mack beat Tore Torgersen, Bill Hoffman triumphed over Jens Nickel and the Baker-system game was won by Team USA.
