The person that runs our squads for the Hoinke called and told me it was canceled. So I called western bowl and asked about the sale of the bowling alley. They didn't say the alley was bought but did tell me that it's closing in May and the tourney was canceled for this season.
I talked with Russ Hoinke last year and he told me if the alley gets sold he was going to probably run the tourney at another location. He wasn't sure if it would be in Cinci or maybe another state.

from what i heard from my association manager yesterday during a district meeting one of the ISBA members was telling him that it was done at least for now i'm sure with the revinue lost they'll start it up i mean look how many people go bowl that and pack that house on a weekend in the middle of summer
I would be willing to bet the tourney will continue at another location. I'm sure it's a money maker. Russ Hoinke told me that the thourney #'s are down but that it still draws a lot of bowlers. He said it's the leagues and open bowling that is way down. The land western bowl sits on is valuble and it may make more sense to sell it. However, they still have the rights to the tourney which could be ran at another alley in Cini or the surrounding area.
I was looking forward to the trip down to Cinci this season. Always have a blast down their.

And I read Russ' post on the PBA Central Region site and saw that he confirmed the closure..

You'll probably see my earlier post, but I am helping to run a smaller tournament in the Cincinnati area in March. It's a 5-man team tournament paying $3000 first prize (based on 120 entries).
Please see http://www.mmlimotournament.com for more information. I will be adding more information shortly for this tournament on the webpage.
Any questions...please contact me here or through the website.
Thanks!
Paul
