Here is the updated squad listing for the Ebonite Fall Classic coming up the weekend of September 13-15.  The tournament is full and I currently have over 30 bowlers on a waiting list so if your name is on the squad listing and you are not able to bowl, please let me know as soon as possible so I can give the spot to the next bowler on my waiting list.  Even with a long waiting list, it is difficult to fill spots where I get a cancellation the last couple of days prior to the tournament since bowlers make other plans if they don't have a reserved spot by then.  You can contact me via email at jengelkesgiba@gmail.com, by phone at 319-269-6909, or by Facebook message with questions about the squad listing.
