In it's effort to promote the sport more Oman Bowling center in Khuwair will host a tournament between 26-27 of june which is open to any women in the country.

last day to sign up is june 26. The fee is 10 rials and it's open for females 15 and up.

the first prize winner will get a crystal cup. The top 3 finishers get money and the top 5 finishers get gsm's plus some promotional items from Sultan stores. There are also certificates and medals.

if any members of the sabla participate fill us in =)

hmm not so into cups, money.. how much :p as for GSM depends on the brand.. hmm ok I don't think I will join :p

I never went bowloing in my life. Do a lot of women go bowling? and do you guys expect a lot of women to join?

I dunno I'd think there'll be women signing up especially the non Omanies hope the Omani ladies sign up

Bowling in Oman has really caught up the guys are playing in world tournaments so it's good that it's catching up

Interesting... Are crowds allowed to witness the tournament? :think:

i'd think crowds are encouraged

Really! Then more girl participating would be discouraged to join... :p

lol for sure most of the crowd will be guys :p and as DD said more girls will chagne mind about joining..

well there should be security and all

Aha same as in mahrajanat right :)

Cool! I want to go watch them.

I wonder how good the players are :hmm:

LooL i remember i used to go Bowling in Khuwair.. LoL it was soo fun :p... and yeah when it was my first time in bowling i got a really high score :D... i am sure that its only luck and not talent......

anyway its interesting coz it will be the first time for women...

if i join im sure i will win :P
*yeah right*:mmhmm:

Wardat khaleej , should be informed. If I was there , I would have loved to cheer for the participants.

well tell thicky she should come here more

paradise u never know :p

Ok ok i am going to check it out, but if i am going to be cheered by dudes....i aint going :P

hehe thanks for the info. thicky

no prob and good luck tell us about it ok

Warda the place there is FULL of teenage guys... the place is really nice to hang out in BUT thats the only thing annoying about it.... and in 2nd floor u go and play computer games and ofcourse guys go there... and instead of playing they will watch the girls playing bowling downstairs :mmhmm:... but u know 70% of the guys are Non-omani..

i need to check that place out when i'm back in oman

well i think the organizers want this to be successful (or so i hope) so they must have thought of a solution

I never saw Omani ladies playing Bowling here in Oman. But, I saw some in India! They were good! Lets see if they will participate!

Women's Bowling Competition in Oman..
Wow.. thats something you dont hear everyday! :D (Maybe its because this is the first? :rolleyes: )

Well I'm glad the women in Oman are given a shot at such sporting tournaments. I'm sure there will be so many contestants, and with some good talents too. Hey who ever said you couldn't score straight strikes from under a abbaya? :p

Well I have to admit that most of what FS has mentioned is true unfortunately. However I do believe that the organizers would try to make this as successful as possible, hence trying to eliminate discouraging factors as such. :)

I'm veryyy sure that a large number of foreigners will participate (obvious), but they will mainly be Filipino. By God they must be some of the best out there. Mashallah 3alaihom, they're fully equipped and fully loaded :D

Ofcourse I'd want any of the sabla ladies to take the title though :)

So anyone up for it besides Warda perhaps?

Lol @ AP...
though I wouldn't have minded participating I guess it wouldn't serve much since I never tried it, unless I were to depend on luck!
But I do hope the prize goes to our women... well... good luck to the participants!...

We need an insider... to keep us updated with how the event goes.. :mmhmm:

wardat , empress.... if i joined i would be the best player ever right ! :rolleyes:

Sure thing , Cute-One . But you are in Qatar ! Wait a minute , I never saw you bowl , I don't know whether you will be better than Warda and I . :D

Alright, female sabla members.. that might be joining... whats the highest score you have every had? So far that's Wardat_il'7leej and Empress. Anyone else?

Sure thing , Cute-One . But you are in Qatar ! Wait a minute , I never saw you bowl , I don't know whether you will be better than Warda and I . :D


damnnn...... we went twice last summer ! :Shock:

where's the bowling center in oman ??
i didnt even know u had one ??

Well since you asked, I'm assuming you're quite familiar with Muscats roads and places :)

Its in Al-Khuwair, opposite the Holiday Inn. Its relatively new, its been less than a year I think since its opening. :)

i love bowlleing although i break my nails always

Oppppppppsieeeeeeeee , I forgot about that , but I don't remember how well you did .

@ DD , I don't think I am any good :D

Bonita,
there is another one in Bahja center and another one in ruwi (sheraton if I am not mistaken)

Bonita,
there is another one in Bahja center and another one in ruwi (sheraton if I am not mistaken)
I believe there is one in Sultan Qaboos University as well!

there's another place to go bowl can't remember if it's seeb novtell or that place in Ruwi

i heard they are openning a huge one in shatti is that true ?... right across janeen restaurant

i've no idea

Yes they're all somewhat true...

Existing ones: Bahja Complex, Al-Khuwair (Oman Bowling Centre), Sultan Qaboos University and Sheraton Hotel (Ruwi).

The one in Novotel (which is now Golden Tulip Hotel) used to exist. It was shut down a couple of years ago (maybe on or two), a restaurant is now open in its place.
Yes they are currently building one in Shatti Al-Qurm, right behind Ramada Hotel (across the former Jenin). :)

Interesting, might pass by for a while on the 27th. Just cause theres nothing else to do!

Existing ones: Bahja Complex, Al-Khuwair (Oman Bowling Centre) and Sheraton Hotel (Ruwi).
PLUS the one is Sultan Qaboos University :)

Thanks for pointing it out FS...
All done! ;)

Yipppeee another bowling center, and this time in a prime location :D

next sabla meetin bowling place :p

so none went to check out this competition??? 26 was yesterday and 27 is today.. :hmm:

I'm a bit sad to report this but oh well

In the trade and crafts room they gave the awards and they gave recognition to the Omani women who participated. Unfortunatley the competition was won by a non Omani :( and it was the Philipino Dang who won in 2nd place went to princes, 3rd was Sherly and 4th went to Taiwan and 5th went to Noora.

As for the Omani ladies first place went to Aida Al Farsi with 531 points and 2nd was Nawal al A'aghbary

As you can seebig difference between the first place Aida and 2nd place Nawal but hopefully they get better :cute:

I passed by for about 3 minutes, it was full of guys, so we just left. :)

I missed it.. how could've I missed it with nothing better to do?! :mmhmm:

Oh well I'll try making it for the second Women's Bowling Comp... sometime within the next 6-7 years maybe? :p

Just as I suspected.. a non-Omani took the title.. but hand's together for all the Omani women who have participated nontheless, they truly deserve some recognition for the efforts, participation and sportsmanship :)

7amaaas i didnt know that.. if i am in oman i would have signed up cuz i thihnk i am pretty good in bowling..

Okay I guess Im late for this
Maybe my first step is to learn

A bowling place for women!? Wow,I am proud to hear that Oman is progressing! I think i'll pay a visit to the place! Thanks for letting me know y'all!

well better luck to us next time Inshallah. :)

Angel_Eyes: It's only a competition, not a standalone place only for women...

How do you bowl in abaiya?

Fayid fatak?
