I KNOW YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING WITH ANTICIPATION. THE FIRST TRI-STATE CHICKEN BOWLING
TOURNAMENT IS NOW ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS.
THIS TOURNAMENT DECIDED THE KENTUCKY, OHIO, WEST VIRGINIA CHAMPION FOR CHICKEN BOWLING 2008.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN UNDER A ROCK AND NEVER HEARD OF CHICKEN BOWLING IT GOES LIKE THIS:
TEN CHICKENS ARE ROUNDED UP (METAL TARGETS FOR THOSE OF PETA EXTRACTION) AND HERDED ONTO A FLAT SURFACE.
THE CONTESTANT IS ALLOWED TWO SHOTS. BOWLING RULES APPLY AS IN THE LAST FRAME. IN CASE OF A SPARE THE SHOOTER GETS AN EXTRA
SHOT. IN THE CASE OF A STRIKE THE SHOOTER GETS AN EXTRA FRAME (TWO SHOTS). TO THE KNOWLEGE OF OUR STAFF EXPERTS THIS
HAS NEVER BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN A SANCTIONED CHICKEN BOWLING MATCH.

IN MAY 2008 THE VIED TEAM (GRACIE AND HER RIFLE HOLDER MARK VIED) PRACTICED THE TWO
PERSON PRONE CHICKEN BOWLING POSTION. THIS ONCE AGAIN
RAISED ARGUMENTS FROM THE JUDGES AS BEING JTC.
JUST TOO CUTE! IT WAS FOUND TO BE A MOOT ISSUE DURING THE JUNE CHAMPIONSHIP GRACIE HAD A SLEEP
OVER AND DIDN'T ATTEND.
ROGER WIER DEMONSTRATES THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE HOW MUCH STUFF CAN I PILE UP IN ONE PLACE AND STILL HAVE
ROOM TO SHOOT POSITION.
