A complete list of past champions from 2007 to 2019 is shown in the following page. The event was not organized in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. There were only two bowlers who achieved the perfect game of 300 in the past 13 years of the annual event.
This special tournament which is held every December was organized at the initiative of the three bowling organizations from Saudi Arabia, namely Unified Filipino Tenpin Bowlers of Riyadh (UFTBR), Filipino Tenpin Bowlers of Jeddah (FTBJ) and Filbowlers (bowlers from the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia). The main objective is to gather Filipino OFW bowlers who are on vacation usually during the holiday season and celebrate the friendship and camaraderie in the bowling lanes thru a special bowling event. The first tournament was held in 2007 and it continued annually. Hosting of the event was assigned alternatively between the three bowling organizations. During the initial years, participation was limited to OFW’s mostly from the Middle East where there are many Filipino active bowling aficionados. In the 2012 Tournament hosted by UFTBR, the participation was extended to include Balikbayans (bowlers who are permanently residing in other countries and are in vacation in the month of December). This was done in order to increase the number of participants and also to reach out to Filipino bowlers from Europe, USA and other Asian countries. This was a milestone as far as the annual event is concerned as it was evident that there are many Filipino bowlers from other countries who are just as eager and excited to play, meet, and have fun with fellow Filipino bowlers while playing this game which we all love.
