Just wondering why the average cut off is 360 ,i have bowled ina few of these tournaments before and the cut off has been 380,i'm sure you would get more entries if the cut off is 380
regards

Hi Scott,

Back in the 90's when Marathons were at their most popular the cut off was always 360, this gives more lower average bowlers a chance to compete, the higher average guys eg 195 ave. have to find a partner 164 or below.

Would love to bowl but 360 is a bit low , 380 would be a bit better.

Which I could perfectly understand back in the 90's.... However we are no longer in the 90's.

What about the guys that average 220-230 at that centre? a 360 cap all but rules them out from bothering...

Oh well, it happens...

thats your badluck for bowling in a centre where you are given a 220-230 average!

No-one is given a 220-230 average, It is obtained by knocking over pins, however if you could name a centre over this way that isn't a wall, I would be happy to attend. I also can't wait for Epping to open, as anvilane pro is a more true surface than HPL.

Until then, Keon Park should take into account the fact that there are a massive amount of 200plus average bowlers in their centre that might want to compete, and a 380 cap would draw more entries, ESPECIALLY since their lanes are walled up.

Just my opinion...

ha ha ha ha took the cake

Are you high?

I merely state facts. Nothing more.

 

[Mr X]

The "fact" is that the majority of bowlers at Keon Park or in any Centre do not average over 200, 200+ bowlers have plenty of tournaments to bowl in why do they ALL need to cater to this minority. Its about time that the rest of the bowling community with averages between 140 and 200 had the opportunity to bowl in a decent tournament and win some cash.

 

[CHRISSY]

Its your tournament and thats your call but most of the handicap bowlers that have any interest in bowling in this kind of event are bowling graded in ECCC. Just an idea to get better numbers after all it is 9 no tap.
Tonx my 6yo nephew has a low enough ave too bowl with you but he will only bowl if you can give him a lift to the wiggles next week lol


Christian

Is there a limit on ave for a single bowler ?

 

[tonx]

only bowl if you can give him a lift to the wiggles next week

Sure thing mate! I was headed there anyways [/hijack off]

 

[chucker]

nah i was just having a very boring day at work and couldn't think of anything better to say? maybe there might be a 155 average out there to bowl with me who knows?

We don’t have much down here for average bowlers

 

[dejinshathe]

My league average is 124 - but I'm getting better! Who wants me? hahahahaaa! Where's Keon Park, by the by?

 

[AMF KEON PARK]

This is not a sanctioned tournament, so anyone with a league average is able to bowl.
