The made-for-TV invitational was held June 6 at Bowling Center Châteaubriant, France.

    Organizer Bruno Bidone, who took one of the six spots, teamed with Sergey Andreev, Russia, to win the Doubles competition. In the title match the duo, seeded second, defeated top seeded Haugen and his partner Willy Garraud, France, twice to win the event. Pictured right: Andreev and Bidone (l-r).

    2010BPCTVPair.jpg2010BPCMichaelHaugenBrunoBidone.jpgAll six players bowled 8 games qualifying on a 40 feet long oil pattern. "The Bowling Promotion Cup lane condition is a 'flat' oil pattern", said Bidone (pictured right with Michael Haugen Jr.) "Premium shot making and precision accuracy are required to conquer this difficult condition."

    The top five determined the Singles champion in a traditional stepladder format while the No. 1 (Haugen) teamed with No. 6 (Garraud), No. 2 (Andreev) with No. 5 (Bidone) and No. 3 (Hulst) with No. 4 (Krasavkin) in the doubles final in Baker format.

    The 2010 Bowling Promotion Cup will be broadcasted on Eurosport 2. All times CET.
