Personally, I was willing to give the 8 pins a game a go for the sake of increasing entries, so far this year, for this purpose it has proved the opposite. As someone has alluded to, the same (more or less) female competitors bowl the events anyway. The same 5-10 females bowl the events give or...

Donate it back to the Mexicans? ;)

It's a shame they only ship within the US

Are we part of the world? I thought only these far flung places in the middle nowhere were. Cool. Yes, it would be about time.

It's a moot point altogether really, apart from perhaps a little personal pride, no one really gives two hoots what you average in league. I have seen plenty of people with high league averages, not able to maintain those in legitimate competition and vice versa. A proper accreditation system...

I think you know why Geoff lol.

I am surprised noone at Caboolture has a higher average, I am sure I can remember a few guys being above 240 for the league way back when.

Unfortunately Andrew, most people don't understand they are bowling on the great wall of china in their league shot, I see an endless stream sometimes of people posting scores up on FB and whatever, tooting their horn, but come playing on the tougher patterns, those scores aren't anywhere to be...

The World Championships are quite different in format aside from having seperate events. Good post Geoff, there is so much more that can be added to this, but I don't think bowling is alone with changing times, the world has changed and bowling hasn't quite adapted or kept up. The main gist...

I don't think it was the one major factor, certainly is part of it no doubt. But, and a big but, is the bowlers in the south eastern states have had it too good for the last few years, spoilt in a way for not having to travel far and wide like Nationals of yesteryear and the other big thing is...

Andy, my response is meh, with a bit of planning and organisation, cheap fares were well and truly available, I think I got mine on Jetstar out of Sydney for 190 odd return with extra baggage, so I can take 5 balls up, if I want any extras, I will just post them up through Australia Post, about...

Nobody ever said the lane pattern wasn't tough, see above as I believe it should be modified for seniors, but stats are stats, so if Morty and anyone else can see that on average some players are missing 3-4 spares a game and some are missing 2 single pins a game, at a minimum of 20 pins extra...

Location, no not really, it has been in Townsville before, many times, it has been everywhere many times, and to be honest, if someone wants to travel to compete in Nationals, then go for it, regardless of location, yes, most of the population is south east coast, but could it possibly be more...

I made a similar post about patterns and nationals but in relation to the juniors a couple of years ago. The basic gist was I felt as though the pattern laid down for the juniors for their nationals was too hard for the majority, especially considering the amount of younger juniors that attend...

If anyone is up late tonight, you can see the guys first game on the tv pairs I think.

Aside from this being a poorly formed thread, the one thing until Jason posted, that I think anyone has failed to mention is that, if you were to look at the post of FB and I saw it, along with a couple of others, is that if you are up on todays equipment and knowledge, you would quite easily...

From what I understand the person that matters is Geoff, just highlighting something I thought was odd based on some information from previous. Happy to be corrected anytime and certainly not saying anything is wrong.

Totally agree with Matt above. EJ and Mandy and the crew put in massive hours to get this event up and running, source wonderful sponsors and ensure the event runs smoothly. They should be thanked and congratulated for being the type of people who want to see bowling prosper for the sake of the...

So the Nationals entry forms have been released with the prize payout for the Open Masters as below. Guys: 1st - $5000 2nd - $2500 3rd/4th - $1250 5th-8th - $625 9th-16th - $300 Total payout $14900 Womens: 1st - $3000 2nd - $1500 3rd/4th - $750 5th - 8th - $375 9th - 16th - $180...

After a shaky start from both players, Belmo has stormed home to another title, big congrats with a dominating win 235-211 over Chris Barnes. Big result to hopefully land him Player of the Year later!

In a traditional nostalgic essence, this may be true, but such an American thing to say, that only be bowling on the PBA tour can someone be one of the worlds best, but so much more opportunity to earn bigger dollars for less expensive in other parts of the world. It would be nice to say you are...

Money problems are everywhere, but you are changing the parameter settings now, you do understand the geographical nature of where we are located? So it is tough for those who leave family at home in the States too right? That might be so but they probably face max 1 day travel somewhere, as...

If you or anyone else want to help me cover my mortgage and feed my family, plus give me a job where I have more than 4 weeks of annual leave, so you know, I can spend time with the family as well as chase my dreams, just let me know, actually let all us 'elite' bowlers know, we will take you up...

Its a shame the schedule isn't bit more masters qualifying friendly. Good to see a bit of proactiveness regarding accomodation options though.

I think what Aldo was trying to say was they don't have a TB account and thereby won't be posting here (only guessing), and by having entries either phoned, emailed or sent via own website, I am also guessing it is much easier to track entries and ensure noone misses out. People on here just lob...
