Mr Chester, the subject "Morty Douglass......is he through?" sounds like a bag to me. If you weren't intending to bag Morty then perhaps a more appropriate subject heading could have been used. But then of course everything you write on this forum is generally a bag of someone or something so...
Congrats to the ladies team for winning the teams event and the ladies overall.
Congrats to the whole team for finished 3rd overall.
And finally congrats to Ali for 3rd in the all-events.
Good luck to the whole team for the Seniors Cup and the Nationals over the next two days. Keep...
Congrats to the ladies team who followed up the success on day one with silver (Sandy and Alison) and bronze (Dianne and Lesley) in the doubles. The ladies have a massive 76 point lead going into the teams today and overall New Zealand is only 2 points behind Queensland in second.
Good luck...
Congratulations go to Fred Housham and Allison Hayward who made New Zealand proud by winning the mens and ladies singles on the first day of the inaugural Australian National Seniors Team Challenge yesterday afternoon. :groupwave:
The 2007 New Zealand Junior / Youth National Championships are under way at Tenpin Whangaporaoa north of Auckland. Results can be found on the TBNZ website (http://www.tbnz.co.nz/). The tournament runs from 25 - 27 September and will be followed by the 2007 National Youth Teams Championships...
Sounds like a good different format to me.
Will there be a lane change after every game with the entire group moving lanes together. i.e everyone on 1&2 moving to 3&4?
Is there any chance of NZ players being seeded?
I agree with the scores you have posted. They are what I worked them out to be this morning when I noticed the error. I couldn't understand how my average was higher than I expected it to be!!!!

Sounds like a great idea, and something that I would definitely be a starter for, subject to timing. I would love to see a format similar to a few recent tournaments held in the Middle East where they use two patterns (three would be nice but I think it becomes a logistical nightmare)...
Does anyone know if TBA's decision is perhaps driven by Australian Sports Commission saying to TBA you can't have a "STATE REPRESENTATIVE" competition which is handicapped or includes a team of athletes who are not the "best" in each state?

I suggest that next time you post on this forum that you have all your facts straight.
Children should be seen and not heard and unless you have something useful and worthwhile to say then don't bother saying it.

You are right that Rachuig this year will be interesting if nothing else.
I haven't taken your comments to heart. It just always concerns me that we have a limited number of proprietors in New Zealand who are willing to run tournaments at no profit (and often at a loss) to themselves. This...
I will give you that it got a little drier as you worked your way down the centre........the joys of a pad machine!
On dry, cast your mind back to the "long" pattern at Rachiug last year, it was pretty nicely toasted after 15 games........
I'm not going to say it was wet because it wasn't, but I'm pretty happy to say that it wasn't as dry as Scoops makes out. I have certainly played on drier in Australia!!!
And no one could say it wasn't playable, just look at some of the numbers!
In all sports there is a home field advantage, I can't see why this shouldn't extend to bowling, and the oil pattern for tournaments. In league or rugby the home team always has an advantage when if comes to goal kicking (unless you are the Warriors) because that teams kicker has practised for...
