Given how far (at least a 3 hour flight) and how many times (everytime) I have to travel to get ANY rankings points, its really not worth me chasing. Its nice to be ranked highly, but if i did start chasing rankings points to try and get the $1000 at the end of the year, I'd be much more out of...
Scrubs, Supernatural, Stargate (both), Whose Line, NCIS, Num3ers, Raw/Smackdown/ECW etc, M*A*S*H (classic), 3rd Rock from the Sun, The Glass House (very much missed), The Sideshow
I've just sat through and read all of the comments, and everyone has said exactly what needed to be said so articles like this dont happen in the future. It is also good to see people who aren't involved in the sport supporting our comments.
Congratulation Jase
I was amazed and excited when i heard about your win, but not entirely surprised. I've seen you win international titles and championship medals, but I'm sure this one would have to be worth so much more. And the way you've conducted yourself throughout this whole journey...
It's a double edged sword really.
It better reflects the best overall team in terms of their final placing, but can cause a team with less points to be infront of a team with more (as was the case here). But it does stop states/territories/zones with one very strong team, who may be 20...

Well Done Chris
Just as a little side note, both 300 games by Chris and Mitchell were against North Queensland. Not to mention, both against Justin Muscat. He must feel like the most unlucky guys there right now
Dont think Booker is going to be doing too much at all for the next little while, he's out with a "sprain and strained contusion of the neck" not to mention knee and elbow injuries on top of that.
Benoit beat MVP (retains US Championship)
Great Khali beat Kane
ECW Originals beat New Breed
Mr. Kennedy won Money In The Bank
Cena beat HBK (retains WWE Championship)
I've seen one Osku vs Belmo match (2006 Kuwait Open), and it would have to bee one of the best finals i've ever watched. Hopefully we'll all get out wish at World Tenpin Masters
In regards to the prize fund issue, i think some bowlers may find this article from bowlingdigital regarding a similar incident rather interesting.

how do you think people from over in WA feel when in order to do ANY kind of ranked events, we have to travel across the other side of the country! in the last few years there have been an increasing number of bowlers from WA travel to be considered in the higher ranks of bowling in this...
This seems really weird to me. I just flew from perth to melbourne on virgin and had no problems, i told the woman at the check-in counter that i had 3 pieces of heavy sporting equipment. She just checked them through no problems. Maybe they haven't all heard about it yet
I have been fortunate not to have much in the way of injuries, but did strain muscles in my upper arm once, so i had to strap my wrist and arm for a little while.
Cramps in you hand, fingers and thumb are quite painful as well. Be careful next time you pick up you ball with just your thumb...
