    TBA Board - can anyone add to my list for completeness

    Looking back at annual reports since 2017 is quite interesting. Can anyone add to the 27 names listed. In all fairness some barely had time to sit down so their names may have missed appearing in an annual report. I know I have met 6 of them. Hish Fernando Sid Shekar Graham Pearson Ryan...

    Show some bloody EMOTION

    No I did not mean Kournikova and I certainly wouldn't categorise anyone in the way you crudely did. I was merely equating the way sponsors & broadcasters treat athletes differently (a person's sporting talent is sadly often not the main driver for sponsorship dollars or airtime). I used Ana...

    Show some bloody EMOTION

    I want to see the sport of bowling grow and flourish. The Prizemoney isn't worth getting out of bed for at the present time. It is actually embarrassing what these people play for. It isn't a genuine living. The girls all require other sources of income just to survive. Whether you like it or...

    Show some bloody EMOTION

    I just finished watching the Qubica AMF Masters Promotion tournament on Youtube. This event is a PROMOTIONAL event. It is to PROMOTE the sport of Bowling. A field primarily made up of USA PWBA players and European players from both sexes. Now I was not intending to single out 1 particular...

    Is Belmo the bowler of this generation?

    For a numbers person like myself I love using using statistics to build an argument but the stats below are so compelling and blatantly obvious no-one can question them. Since 2014, no player has been the No. 1 seed at majors more often than Tackett. He’s earned the coveted spot atop the...

    Is Belmo the bowler of this generation?

    So Tackett wins again and again giving him 21 titles. Belmonte has also increased his tally to 31 titles. Both have now won 21 titles since 2015. In the PBA World Championship Tackett was again dominant out averaging Belmonte by 6.62 pins per game. Belmonte ultimately finished 2nd but was only...

    Quite possibly the most ridiculous format of all-time - PBA

    Oh well, bowling in Australia is led by the TBA. That is all that needs to be said. The sport has already had many great moments in its 60+ year history in Australia, as to what happens in the immediate future is up to the next generation of bowlers - whether good, bad or indifferent...

    Quite possibly the most ridiculous format of all-time - PBA

    I am confused - all I have stated is that the format used in the Tournament of Champions was garbage. Jason Belmonte was nowhere near the best player last week and the ridiculous format gave him the opportunity to pull off the most unlikely victory in PBA history. In any other event from the...

    Quite possibly the most ridiculous format of all-time - PBA

    I don’t think many people would even contemplate trying to give me a history lesson but that was incredibly amusing. The facts are that the ridiculous format used in the 2023 Tournament of Champions gave Belmonte the opportunity to win when he clearly wasn’t anywhere near the best bowler last...

    Quite possibly the most ridiculous format of all-time - PBA

    Hmmmm, yes the record books will show Woods and Belmonte both have 15 major titles BUT!!!!!!!! Bowling is still predominantly a USA dominated sport. When you win a golf or tennis major there are players from all over the world. These sports are played at a very competitive professional level...

    Quite possibly the most ridiculous format of all-time - PBA

    Well Jason Belmonte has just created history in becoming the first bowler to ever win the Tournament of Champions 4 times. This is a tremendous achievement. The 2023 Tournament of Champions also made use of the most ridiculous format in the PBA's 64 year history allowing him to achieve this...

    Quite possibly the most ridiculous format of all-time - PBA

    The PBA Tournament of Champions has been playing out this week and it has just reached the Stepladder Finals stage after 42 games of Qualifying & Matchplay. The only problem with this made for TV farce is that the Stepladder Finals will include the top 17 bowlers. Not the traditional 5 or...

    Is Belmo the bowler of this generation?

    Almost everyone would argue that Jason Belmonte has been the most successful PBA player over the last 15 years since winning his first title in 2008. Belmo has now won 30 titles placing him equal 7th place on the PBA all-time titles list. He requires another 4 titles to equal the late great...

    WE ARE A BOWLING NATION OF INDIVIDUALS AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL - we barely trouble the scorers in teams events!!!

    When you look at the record of Australia's bowlers on the international stage we initially appear to punch well above our weight. Well, we certainly do at a singles level and I don't believe that anyone is going to win an argument with me on that score as we are unquestionably the second most...

    Walter Rachuig Trophy News

    Hello Bert, 1. I will say it one last time. It is not my Trademark as I have very clearly stated. I DO NOT HAVE OWNERSHIP. So how could I proceed with anything? I wrote yesterday's post because I wanted to make it clear that I do not own the Trademark. You only have to look at the IP Australia...
