IBIBO 2026: Official Oil Pattern Announcement!

The countdown is on – we are just days away from the start of IBIBO 2026! It’s time to reveal the lane conditions you’ll be tackling this year. For the 2026 edition, we will be playing on the:

             2026 U.S. Open Pattern 1

Why we chose this pattern? 

Out of the four official U.S. Open options, Pattern 1 is the most accessible for bowlers looking to practice at their home centers. While the other three patterns require advanced, multi-tank lane machines (such as the Kegel Flex or Atlas), Pattern 1 is specifically engineered to be laid down by the Kegel Kustodian – the standard machine found in most bowling centers worldwide.

Technical Specifications:

  • Machine: Kegel Kustodian
  • Oil Type: Kegel Fire (Single Tank)
  • Pump Volume: 50 µL per board
  • Brush Speed: Constant 500 RPM
Get your arsenal ready, hit the lanes for your final practice sessions, and let’s enjoy the game!
See you all in days! 🔥🎳

IBIBO 2026: Avem Ungerea pentru 2026!

Numărătoarea inversă continuă – ne mai despart câteva zile de startul IBIBO 2026! A venit momentul să aflăm ungerea pe care o vom întâlni anul acesta! Pentru ediția din 2026, vom juca pe ungerea:

                    2026 U.S. Open Pattern 1

De ce am ales această variantă?

Dintre cele patru ungeri oficiale ale US Open, ungerea 1 este cea mai accesibilă pentru jucătorii de bowling care doresc să se antreneze în avans la centrele lor de origine.
În timp ce celelalte trei ungeri necesită mașini mai avansate, Kegel Flex sau Atlas, ungerea 1 este special concepută pentru Kegel Kustodian, mașina de uns standard găsită în majoritatea centrelor de bowling din întreaga lume.

Specificații Tehnice:

  • Mașină de uns: Kegel Kustodian
  • Tip de ulei: Kegel Fire (un singur tanc)
  • Volum pompă: 50 µL / board
  • Viteză perie: Constantă, 500 RPM

What a Grand Finale!

The 14th edition of the IBIBO International Bowling Open has come to an unforgettable close, and what a finish it was!

At only 17 years old, Balazs-Becsi Mate from Romania delivered a truly spectacular performance, rising above a field packed with international talent to claim the IBIBO 2025 Champion title. His game was calm and precise, a masterclass of focus and technique that left the audience in awe.

The final was dominated by Romanian players, despite more than half of the qualified athletes coming from abroad. Dragnia Mihai Alin secured an impressive second place, while Romeo Gagenoiu fought his way to the third spot, overcoming the Greek contender Montsenigos Eleftherios in a thrilling match. (You can view the full final ranking here and the recording of the final on YouTube)

With unusual high scores and electric energy all around, this was a final to remember, a perfect showcase of passion, skill, and sportsmanship. And, of course, the after-party was unforgettable, celebrating not only the winners but every bowler who made this event so special.

A huge thank you to all participants, supporters, and partners who made IBIBO 2025 such a success. Your energy and enthusiasm continue to define the spirit of this tournament.

We can’t wait to see you all again next year.  IBIBO 2026 promises to be even bigger, bolder, and better!
Until then… keep rolling strong!
