The tournament is named after the late Moosman who was a member of both the Bowling Green and Ohio Halls
of Fame. Moosman, former proprietor of Varsity Lanes loved both team bowling and developing youth
bowling.
The tournament combined those elements as each of the top three teams received money to award in the form
of a scholarship to the youth bowler of their choice.
The tournament is coordinated through the Northwest Ohio Bowling Proprietors.

be contested in Al-Mar leagues throughout March until April 3. The finals are April 4.
