A £1,000 prize is to be awarded to tenpin bowler Paul Pasion (pictured) for the first perfect 300 score on a QubicaAMF TMS string pinspotters installation. This occurred at the Airport Bowl in London last week.

It was the world’s first sanctioned 300 game and came in his final game in the Horlicks Marshall four-person league at the Airport Bowl, close to Heathrow, on January 15.

There are now over 7,500 TMS String Pinspotter installations operating globally. In July of last year, Martin /Webster, chairman of the British Tenpin Bowling Association announced that the organisation would bring string certification in line with free fall and that bowler averages and 300 games bowling on string machines would be recognised equally with those bowling on free fall pinspotters.

Roger Creamer, QubicaAMF’s director of international relations and sports development will make the award to Pasion at the Airport Bowl this month.
