Deano Can you put me down as a reserve for both Squads C and D. I hope no one else has to miss this event but if they do and they are in either of those Squads then I want to be moved into the first spot that becomes available.

I have sent a PM to Dean regarding this suggestion. However it would only work if with the following scenarios: 1. No further entries into B after mine and 5 currently entered bowlers pulled out and the four remaining were moved to B - 28 each Squad. 2. If we combined A and B and had 5 to...

Dean Can you please place Terry Silva into B Squad. Looking forward to my first trip to Mildura. Haven't been up that way since I visited Swan Hill when I was about 10. Do you want payment before we arrive?

Just a reminder to everyone about our two sponsors offering accommodation. Firstly we have the Mildura Grand Hotel which is right in the middle of town close to some of our finest restaurants (15% off if you mention the tournament) (03) 5023 0511. Secondly we have Aaah! Willandra Houseboats Hire...

There is nothing wrong with the current rankings system. Yes you can say it is subjective but everyone at the start of the year had the same opportunity to choose to firstly register to be included and then bowl in any or all events. The fact only 26 people have chosen to bowl in the minimum...

I was just enquiring if anyone travelling in for this event has not filled all the available beds in the accommodation they have booked. If I can get an offer from someone to share accommodation then I will be driving up. However I need to find out ASAP so I can arrange the time off from work...

Look's like if you love bowling you're going to definately love Point Cook if all the three centres go ahead.

Just thought you might like to know that if your thinking of bowling on a Tuesday night then you should come down to Chadstone and bowl in the Pacesetters League. We bowl @ 6:30pm 4 person teams. League is a prizemoney league bowling from mid January through to November. Currently $25.00 per...

With the $A currently higher than the $US and expected to remain so for some time here is something to consider. With the Australian Masters thanks to TBA and AMF and the WTBA attracting overseas bowlers again of the calibre in attendance at Rooty Hill is the following proposition viable: The...

Just wondering if all teams have been finalized yet. Can someone post them on this site so we can have a look at them.

I have to restrict my choices to those that I have had personal experience with: Black U-dot Original Red Hammer (still have one that has only had about 15 games bowled with it) Blue Hammer Red Reactive Hammer Vicious Strike Hammer For surface hardness I would have to go with the Grey...

Very sad to see businesses that were flood affected being shafted by council red tape. Especially after the government said that they would be accommodating for flood affected businesses. Anyone who wants to know more can check out this link: Headworks cutting property off at the knees |...

Hey Wayne It happens all the time in league and so it should as how else do we expect the newbies to improve. However I go with Wal's comment that I might have a bad game or even day here or there but you turn it into a marathon and I'm sure I would come up trumps 9 out of 10 times. The...

News to me. Alex and Mark bowl in my league and I know Ryan and Warren but I don't know Rob and Albert. I hope the new bowlers are looking forward to and enjoy their first Dunn Shield. Looks like I will have to do some coaching before November.

I'd be surprised if we have a team from Chadstone this year. Myself and another bowler from my league were the only bowlers to use league scores to qualify for the roll off that did not go ahead. I am waiting to see what happens with regards to an actual team. Hopefully some of the PTBL bowlers...

Michael Thanks for the informative reply. I apologise to you thinking that those poor games were attributed to lack of sparing due to non use of plastic. I was unaware that until you mentioned in this thread that you were thinking of it that you had never regularly used a plastic ball for...

If there is one thing worse than being a Kiwi it is to be a New South Welshman so I bet they were glad to succeed from that situation. On a serious note though it would be nice to see this happen if the depth is there in NZ.

Hey Micheal a bit off thread topic I know but: I understand the idea of having that extra spot available in your kit for that higher or lesser performing reactive ball especially when travelling by plane. However given your and George's professionalism and attentiveness to your games I'm a...

I beg to differ guys I thought it was self explanatory that the Defence Force will field the 10th teams in both the mens and womens Rachuig event. Now on another note in answer to Michael Little's post I would say you are correct there is little interest in Rachuig. I don't think that is...

As a user or as some who are posting to this thread would say an abuser of the use of a wrist guard for over twenty odd years I have been interested to read the insights and opinions of the various posters. I too find it necessary to use a thumb slug. However this may be due to the fact that...

Hi Guys Just wondering if I can get someone to take my gear up to Toowoomba. I plan to fly in but don't want to pay an arm or a leg for taking my gear with me. I can drop the gear off to you as early as Wednesday the 21st as I bowl on Tuesdays and I will not need the gear after that until I...

For those planning to fly up to Toowoomba a bit earlier in the week instead of flying in on the Saturday. Virgin Blue have an extended Happy Hour on right now with $95.00 flights to Brisbane up until Thursday 22nd. Still flights available when I post this message so jump on and save. Be mindful...

Dale and amagill Thanks for that I did leave out lane conditions. Here is my take on todays bowling reality in a made up scenario. Note: I believe the following scenario would apply to the majority of todays bowlers with only the more mature long term league / tournament participants or...

John In days past whether to bowl A or B Squad was about if you liked freshly oiled lanes or not. Most tournaments did not reoil between the first and second squads. Funnily enough although I did not like traditionally oily centres like Moorabbin I tended to bowl Squad A all the time. I could...

Hey Jason although I have not had the pleasure, some guy with a wrist gaurd must have really did a number or two on you. Now I do wear one (an original cobra) and could bowl ok before I started wearing one about the late 80's / early 90's but riding skateboards in my teens (broken wrist...
