Welcome to the W. D. Tournaments web page! We are beginning our twenty-second year of running scratch tournaments in the Chicagoland area. Although we have seen a decline in scratch bowling events over the past few years, we will again strive to promote the sport as it should be. Our tournaments are conducted on demanding but fair lane conditions. If you are looking to average 220 in tournament play, we suggest you look elsewhere. If you want fair cashing ratios and are looking to improve your game, our tournaments are meant for you.

This year we have changed the dates and location of the Grand Boot Hill Tournament. It will be held on August 30 and 31, 2008 at Stardust Bowl, 37 Lorraine Avenue in Addison, IL. The tournament will continue to be one of the most challenging scratch events in the country. This year we will be offering three different events on three different oiling patterns. To find out more about the Grand Boot Hill Weekend you may e-mail us to be put on our mailing list or download the brochure from this web page when it becomes available sometime in May.

For the past three years we have been running scratch events in Las Vegas in February. As of this time we are not sure what our plans are for this coming year. When we decide where and when this tournament will be run, the brochure will be available on this web page.

Our tournaments are open to all bowlers except PBA members who were exempt during the '07-08 season, bowlers who are exempt for the '08-09 year and bowlers who have won a national title after 1987. Senior titles are excluded from these rules.

If you have any questions regarding any of our tournaments, you may call Woody Demma at (847) 955-1933.

If you would like to be added to either our e-mail or regular mailing list, you may e-mail us at Wdtourney@aol.com. If you are a competitive scratch bowler, Stardust Bowl in Addision, IL will be the place to be on Labor Day Weekend for an action-packed two days of 'Competitive Scratch Bowling At Its Best'.

Have a good season and if you are up to the challenge, come out and test your skills on real bowling conditions.
