SM BOWLING CENTER awarded a brand new ISUZU Crosswind XUVi A/T to the 6th SM Bowling Cup National Champion John Gasataya, 16 years old from Cebu. The National Finals was held at SM Megamall Bowling Center last May 27, 2007.

The national finalists faced a tough game series from the top 24 trimmed down to top 8, down to top 4 and lastly top 2.  Kap Aguila of SM  Bowling Center Megamall was the consistent top placer but landed only at third place in the top 4 game series, he went home with a trophy and P25,000 cash prize.  At 12 years old, Christelle Peig  of SM Bowling Center Fairview ranked second runner up and received P40,000 cash and a trophy.

Gervic John Gasataya took the lead in the final best 2 games of 3 series against Roger Balanay of SM Megamall in the Top 2 championship round.  Gasataya won with the score of 505 pins with 23 handicap over Balanay’s 440 with 31 handicap. Roger Balanay at 1st runner-up received P70,000 cash and a trophy. John who was the second runner-up of the 6th SM Bowling Cup National Semi-finals last December said he was challenged to show more in the National Finals.  Daily practice and routine physical training combined with his mental skills made him bag the title and bring home to Cebu a brand new Isuzu Crosswind.

Considered the biggest bowling tournament in the country today, SM has given out over P5 million prizes for the 6th SM Bowling Cup including the two Isuzu Crosswinds, one to the 14 year-old Louie Chuaquico in the National Semi-finals  last December and the other one recently to John Gasataya.  Pitted against over 200 participants nationwide, young bowlers dominated this year’s tournament.

Not only this, SM Bowling Center also gave away P100, 000 for every perfect game rolled in the 6th SM Bowling Cup Tournament.
