Copa de España AMF 2008

The qualification round of the Copa AMF España 2008 is underway at the Alegra Bowling Center, in Madrid.

Scores are avaiable (PDF) at the special web site of the AECB Madrid Delegation.

So many pins were knocked down the very first day. We must remember that the handicap that is going to be use in this tournament is not the usual one. But even with this differece, we have up to 4 of the 28 participants with scores over 1300. And 13 out fo 28 over 1200.

Leading the tournament is Jesus Cambronero (Galaxy( with 1339. Folowing him, just one pin behind, José Luis Ricote (Vaguada)

Qualification round will continue during the week before next Sunday's big final. Scratch winners (six qualification gamesplus 6 finales games) both in men and women divisioon, will participate, according to the rules, at the Hermosillo World Cup next fall.

I just hace one doubt. Sules says that winners "will represent Spain". But, given that Catalonia will send players to the World Cup and that the World Cupt itself is a private event organised by aprivate brand, Spanish representation will be "unoficial".

I mean, given that it is supposed that no official License will be requiered and that AECB players will be allow to play as FCBB members are.

But I am not pretty sure. By the way, the Tournament Rules are talking about "representing Spain" but they don't say at all that the Spanish nationality is a must. Could foreign players represent Spain?

I think this is not the most important thing, but I am not sure about these answers. Anyway, the Tournament itself is good new. This kind of event shouldn't dissapear of our calendars.
