It would be easier, quicker and cheaper to change the pins for the day & afternoon ladies & school kids leagues than change the oil patterns. Secondly, all the ball manufacturers have invested heavily in technology, and they want a return on their investment. First there was rubber, then...

Blocked lanes are not just a problem here in Oz, but worldwide. Bowling Digital features an article(24/9/07) by John Jowdy, who says that the problem is also rife in the "good old USA" as well. Many informed people have claimed that the problem of higher scoring is because of the reactive...

Hi Gino, Was it you who bowled in the SPC this year and made the finals?

I think Belmo is on the right track.

I'm sure Brenton Davey and a few of the more "Senior" bowlers will back me up, when I say it was like going back in time to say 10 years ago,and the old TBA, when there wasn't a "walled up shot" in Tournaments or league. Everyone had to work to score, not like it is today. In qualifying @ SPC...

Hi Brett, Could you please enter me in D squad. This is definitely my last "Open tournament". Thanks Brien Show-Yin

Oops!!! forgot to congratulate all the finalists, and especially Adam. Good bowling mate!

O.K have seen the TOTAL scores for qualifying. How about the individual games bowled during qualifying?

Any chance of seeing the qualifying scores? There are a few of us who didn't have the opportunity to bowl, or get to the centre. Ta.

Hey Lindz, I hope you won't be claiming a handicap, especially after the VSS1 event. lol Brien

Sorry Tonx, I'm withdrawing because of a prior commitment. Will be up for the next one as long as it doesn't clash with other tournaments. Keep up the good work. Regards Brien

Congrats Andrew. Looks as though "Viper" will be the pattern for VSS2???

Re: VSS Event number 2 Hi Tonx, Put me down as a starter. Send me a PM when you want help.

Here are the qualifying scores for Scratch and Handicap. Note some of the Handicap bowlers finished in the Scratch section because of their scores. For the knockers who may snigger at some of the scores, come along and try your hand on this condition, and then you will realize how hard it was...

Congratulations Tonx, It was good to see you get a reward for all your hard work & organization. Every person I spoke to seemed happy with the tournament, and although the conditions were tough, there didn't appear to be any sour grape comments. I enjoyed myself immensely, but because I had...

Forgot to mention. Great to see so many bowlers supporting this series. If we can keep up the interest, then the "Victorian Sport Series" will outstrip those in the other states, and become the breeding ground for "Open Tournament" bowlers, whose numbers have been steadily falling the past few...

Hi Tonx, Can you move me to B Squad Thanks Brien S

Big scores coming out of Keon Park. Get the bowlers on a Sport Series and see what happens !!!

Hope some of these "hot shot: bowlers come and have a go at the Sports series. I'm guessing that a lot of bowlers are in for a rude awakening, myself included, but am really looking forward to testing myself.

This is a good idea. The Sports Series in Qld.,NSW, and now starting up in Vic. is a good beginning for the more accomplished bowlers, and the "up and comers", but the problem is still back to attracting numbers. As I read the posts, the focus has shifted from attracting bowlers to the...

What is the prize fund breakdown?

This is starting to look very promising. Keep the support up for tonx.

Hey Lance, Sorry to hear you've done a fetlock(or whatever). Hope you are back on the track in time for the Melbourne Cup(tenpin). Look forward to kickin' yer ass on the lanes again-soon Regards to Tanya

I am absolutely stunned. I have known Ray(Ivan) for may,many years, and he has always been an absolute gentleman and I am proud to say- a friend. I last saw Ray at the AO, and he looked as well as ever, so I was shocked to hear of his passing. He had mentioned that he was intending to move back...

Hey Ralph, Are you still on the injury list as well? Saw you at the AO but didn't get a chance to say "Hello". Can you round up any guys in "the West" to support the Sports Series?
