Candlepin Challenge - June 16th, 2007 (CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW)

Special thanks to Bob Whitcomb for providing this show that I have been trying to find for quite some time now. :)
This was the final show of the 2006 - 2007 season of the Candlepin Challenge, featuring the top three bowlers from that season with the highest two game totals overall during a single show (excluding any results from the youth shows like the ones Dave Godwin, myself and John Joyce were on.)
The top three bowlers featured on this show were:
John Zappi, with a 312 two game set from his win on 10/28/06
Bob Whitcomb, with a 311 two game set from his win on 2/24/07
Jeff Surette, with a 302 two game set from his win on 4/28/07.
The opening match in this show features Jeff Surette as the #3 seed, taking on Bob Whitcomb as the #2 seed, with the winner facing #1 seed John Zappi in the two game finale to determine who would win the top prize of $5,000. The other finishers would each receive $2,500 for coming in 2nd place and $1,000 for third place.
This telecast was definitely a fun one to watch that featured clutch shot making when it mattered most, and also had an exciting finish as well that went right down to the last frames to determine who would take home the top prize.
Hope you all enjoy, R.I.P. Dan Murphy.

Who is the gentleman in the front with the horn-rimmed glasses and grey beard? He rarely misses a show. Does he ever play?

Any more of the Candlepin Challenge videos?

The opponents have to slap one another's hands after every frame? Annoying.

Never saw Tom Olstza or any of the OG’s doing that! Not until the match was over.
