The action started Saturday with an 8 game qualifying block on the 2025 USBC Masters pattern. The pattern features 44 feet of oil with over 32 mls of volume and a ratio of 1.5 to 1. While very difficult, the pattern produced scores similar to years past. Leading the qualifying block was 2-time Manitoba Open winner, Austyn Ducharme with a 1672 total. Ducharme was 1 of only 5 payers to shoot plus in qualifying. The cut to the top 16 was Derek Jackson with a 1456 total.
The top 16 returned on Sunday for 3-game total pin matches. After 2 rounds, the 4 undefeated players would be ranked by their 6 game total and placed into the stepladder finals as the 1-4 seeds. The highest 6-game total of the 4 players to lose in the winners bracket in round two would earn the 5th seed on NDBowlTV.
After 2 rounds, Jamey Kragh, Daren Seney, Thomas Wolf, and Michael Neibauer remained undefeated and earned the 1-4 seeds on NDBowlTV respectively. Peyton Sumners would go on to earn the 5th and final seed for the second consecutive year.
NDBowlTV Results:
Sumners def. Neibauer, 174-170
Wolf def. Sumners, 216-185
Wolf def. Seney, 180-148
Wolf def. Kragh, 215-161
Thomas Wolf emerged victorious on NDBowlTV for his 2nd consecutive Masters title and 3rd overall since 2020. Wolf began his day with a victory over Dale Newton, and followed that up with a win over Dawson Unrath to advance to the stepladder finals.
Wolf turned in a masterful performance on NDBowlTV by filling 28 of 30 frames with 1 of the 2 opens being a meaningless 10th frame with the match in hand. Wolf earned the top prize of $1100 and a paid entry in the the 2026 USBC Masters next spring. Great bowling, Thomas!
Since NDBowlTV owner and host Daren Seney qualified for the finals, the stream was turned over to Blake Wallstrum and Josh Kragh who did a great job filling in on short notice which was much appreciated. You can watch the archive of the show HERE.
Thank you to the folks at North Hill Bowl for hosting the event and putting in $2500 towards the prize fund. We appreciate everyone who made the trip to Minot this past weekend to support North Hill Bowl and The High Plains Bowling Network.
