About the North American Bowling News

Back in the year 2009, the quarterly periodical, 'The Duckpin News' decided to discontinue its hardcopy newspapers that were circulated throughout the bowling establishments in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Rod Weaver (of SpareTalk) was approached by one of the well-established lady professionals -- who was also a proprietor of one of the local tenpin establishments -- to attempt to fill the void with a replacement newspaper. Since Weaver was a supporter of not only the duckpin game, but also the sport of tenpins, Rod decided to create a magazine-style publication that would accommodate the various forms of bowling across the North American continent. The result was a quarterly publication, entitled 'The North American Bowling News'. In all, 16 issues were produced, plus two special editions to accommodate the soon to be established, 'Inter-Continental Duckpin Bowling Challenge'.
