The eagerly awaited news regarding the venue for the 2013 Adult National Championship and Australian Masters was released by Tenpin Bowling Australia’s CEO, Cara Honeychurch today. Kirwan Bowl in the tropical city of Townsville has won the bid to host this year’s event following an exhaustive...

There's conformation of the worst kept secret in the history of tenpin bowling. Looks like no WBT Australian Masters this year

Ditch = Happy Seniors

Like Robyn and Glenn, I would prefer to keep it at 16 games. 10 games Saturday & 6 Sunday. 5 or 6 bowlers per pair. 30 games pair with no re-oil, makes for an interesting Saturday. David, With 48 & 60 in A & B squads, weren't we going to be using all 24 lanes. With 23 & 24 out of action now...

My dream is to go to a tournament and actually bowl where the pattern hasn't been advertised. :)

That was being talked about yesterday. Was also mentioned that they may look at an alternative WTBA pattern better suited to the center to the original 1 that was decided on. Whether there is any truth to that who knows. Guess we'll find out when we turn up in Canberra.

sorry missed that

David, I don't know if you know or not. The 1st 3 Senior tournaments of the year are being used for the Senior World Championship Team selection to be held in Las Vegas in August this year prior to the Adult World Championships. It was only organized in September last year by the WTBA. The top...

thats exactly what killed 95% of the bowlers at keon park on the weekend. never seen so many open frames

Whatever that has to do with bowling in Senior tournaments in 2013 i haven't got a clue. Anthony L's comment was:- "either people that are "NOT yet 50 yrs old" OR "from bench warmers that do not bowl in the tournament. never said she was in the "NOT yet 50 yrs old" category. but I am pretty...

And was there the same scathing comments after the Australian Open last year about laying ditches that there regularly is after a Seniors event when the winner averages 230. I think the person that started the post was covered by Tonys "NOT yet 50 yrs old or from bench warmers that do not...

Oh well, saves me watching the telecast I suppose.

Hmmm, didnt we go thru all this a month ago after Caboolture. Look forward to being rehashed again on the 24th March. Then on 28th April we can go back to em complaining we bowl on ditches again.

NO, it props up the prize fund

Deposit transferred today. Thanks Rob Chinner

I don't know if TBA make it common knowledge to the general public what centers, in what states bid for the nationals. There well may have been no SA or WA centers bid this year. Still doesn't change the fact that it hasn't been off the east coast in 14 years. Seems to be only a national...

With Townsville being as shorter priced favourite to host the nationals this year as Black Caviar is to win at Flemington tomorrow, maybe they can re-name them the Eastern Australian Championships. Or they can amalgamate with the East Coast Challenge. And S.A., W.A. & NT can run there own...

Apologies, must have been the one i looked at. only had quick look. Would make sense for all states to have on same weekends. free up more weeks later in the year for other events.

already know you guys are special matty

yeah same as ours Bec. I know S.A. VIC, TAS & NSW all started there State Champs last weekend. Not sure about ACT, NT & W.A.....QLD must be speeeecial if they got theres in May..

seems logical to me. had ours last weekend. thought all states ran on same weekend. Most states got there Rachuig trials in May.

Think it was probably intentional why it has'nt been announced prior to state champs. If for example they announced Townsville as the nationals prior to state champs & people decide it will be to expensive for them, then they dont have to bowl state champs as part of there requiements for...

Good, cant remember if it was AMF centre. 10 years bit quick to expect air conditioning to be repaired.

Kirwin, have they fixed the air conditioning since 2003.

Is the bureaucratic nature of it stopping you from nominating Jim.
