Put me back in Simmo. Looks like u need every bowler u can get.
Dont see 2 many Seniors names down there Tony.
Top 12 sounds like a good idea.
Still got a 1 in 3 chance of cutting if you had 36 bowlers.
PISS POOR.
Pity some of these guys travel interstate and support there tournaments, but refuse to support the local scene. (fruit must be cheaper interstate)

i agree with you tony, it is unfortunate that finally some centres are putting all this effort into getting some sort of tournament going and having very little support from the bowlers. i know some have had to pull out for valid reasons but as you said tony where are some of the up and coming stars of bowling in S.A. anyway just my 2cents worth. good luck to everyone on the weekend, i hope we all bowl well...

First of all, well done to all SA bowlers putting the effort to get some tournaments organised and run, 10 out of 10 must be given to people like Simmo and Streaty for trying to get things moving in SA.
Granted, some bowlers have valid reasons not to bowl, for myself, i'd be bowling if it wasn't for injury. But I don't know of too many young people who can afford to keep putting money into tournaments like this, maybe they are looking at the bigger picture? Ranking points? I don't know, perhaps the younger generation can enlighten us....
The changed scheme of payout means you have to place at least 7th to get your outlay back, perhaps it's more beneficial for the kids of the state to save that cost and put it towards the bigger events? Again, something I don't know much about, but just may be a couple of reasons why the younger generation aren't bowling tournaments like this.
I will come out to watch it anyway, hope all bowl well.
Just my 2 cents worth....

PS. I know of someone who is very interested in bowling the tourney tho, is it too late to submit an entry? The form said cut-off was the 9th September....Please let me know Simmo.

Yeah Michael.
I told simmo to pull me out of tourny due to injury last week. Told him if I can bowl i'll turn up on the day. With the numbers they have at the moment i think they'll take entry's right up until the 1st balls bowled

Unfortunately this tournament was put on on a seniors tournament date which is on the state calendar. I guess Salisbury didn't want the seniors to bowl in it.
Des, great idea. I hope you find someone to do it justice. How about one of the young fellas like Ashley Warren?
Hopefully with the increase of entries and if they cut to top 12 we may see an increase in the bottom end of the prize fund.
Cheers

I heard a whisper that matt has been in hospital with suspected maninga cockle, so before you go on bashing these younguns for not bowling these tournaments think about what else they have in theyre lives... most of them work on weekends because they also study and dont have all the time in the world to do things during weekdays... most of you think they get theyre parents to pay for theyre bowling payments but they also help out themselves so try thinking again that travelling to a tournament costs alot of money and the rewards if succeded are much better than staying down here...

Alex, I was not picking on anyone in particular. In fact I did say "with the exception of a few bowlers" it is not being well supported by our up and coming young stars.
It is still a sad thing that bowlers want to travel interstate to bowl in a tournament which costs more to enter, has possibly stiffer competition, all the travel expenses, less likelihood of cashing and being left a lot more out of pocket than driving across town to support a local event.
I still encourage these guys to travel if they can afford it because they need the valuable experience.
For so long people have been complaining about the lack of tournaments in Adelaide. Some centres have taken the initiative to do something about it...so where are all the bowlers?
Oh yeah, what has happened to the Youth Circuit?
Cheers
Tony.

I do see you werent also pointing at matty but also the other youngsters as you said Ash... i referred to him in my last post with the costs (i dont really like mentioning names and all that), he had a 700 rachuig bill to pay... now because that hes not an adult and cant work full time im guessing a $300+ tounament entry thats including the hotel and stuffs on top of that rachuig payment, id say he would have a hard time paying for another tournament entry fee ontop of all that...
As for the SAJYC i became disinterested in that and those tournaments were clashing with other tournaments and im guessing other bowlers were disinterested... payouts werent amazing and slowly became too much...
Money will always be the problem... its my problem at the moment and cant travel (or i would).
Anyways enough bad grammar from me... i really hope the numbers pick up for tomorrow, i for one will always support these tournaments and hope many others will aswell because it is a good thing for SA...

Alex, I very quickly suggested Des give the sponsorship to Ashley (or someone like him) so not sure what your post is getting at.
Cheers
Tony
It is fantastic the way you support the local tournaments, you are one of the rare few who turns up to just about everything and I congratulate you on that.
Cheers
