8 weeks is longer than optimum, with the usual cumulative average system they calculate on the first 3 weeks, so a 3 week (12 games) moving average fixes sandbagging pretty well

Averages for handicap purposes should be "Moving Average" would eliminate sandbagging and make each match more reflect the current abilities of each player/team But, that's never going to happen because once Bowling has a bad idea, it sticks to it forever

If our views were reversed, I wouldnt expect you to stop posting and I'm not going to. Please just ignore my posts

I believe in what I'm trying to do. Please just dont read my posts

Sorry you have a problem with this Steve/Amagill. FWIW I'm trying to change Bowling for the better, profit was never the driver

According to the sports psych books I have read, the most successful sports scoring, breaks the game into smaller parts, where mini wins can be followed and engaged by both player and spectator. eg six tackles in NRL, 1/4s in AFL, 4th Down rule in Gridiron, Par in Golf or Game/Set/Match in...

Couple of things, A 12 frame points game does not offer the same opportunity to build tension and drama compared to the build up available in (points in games) and (games in sets) in a match, which can be far more engaging and entertaining. The commentators did little differently to their normal...

Jason, Just confirms how everyone is different. I'm happy to admit you are a better bowler than I am, but I dont get what you get when you say Perhaps it's my motor racing background, the most perfect practice is only practice for the "real thing" racing. I'd happily exchange a perfect practice...

I'm not driving to Shellharbour every week to bowl, but geez, wish I could find a tough house shot to bowl league. I'm using 15yo gear but still manage to score ok, despite throwing very poorly all over the place. It's ruining my game for when I need to be accurate when bowling away in...

Thanks, but results are all that count, so I've done nothing really

I apologize, I thought I had bowled in a couple of those in past years, but no not 2 day gigs. I hope it all does go well, I admire anyone trying to help bowling

not Shellharbour, Gosford, Maitland, Grafton ?

Not meant to sound as criticism. Correct if I'm wrong, Every stop is an existing tournament ? So people do have tournaments, so the purpose of a series is to entice more bowlers. I'm all for more bowlers competing, but I dont get how the series as such, will result in more entries. I dont get...

Was thinking that you're trying to entice more bowlers to enter tournaments. A series with 8 stops and spread as widely as you have, may be a deterrent to some, especially newbie's.

There's a lot of road miles to bowl the whole series ? (3300 km if based in Sydney)
