Bec Whiting, Dena Buxton, Ann Maree Putney, Narelle baker and Leesa Bartlem to b squad please

Nothing against Mentone Cup because I agree its a great tournament. I believe the reason the woman did bowl so well was because it was a simple house pattern, if it was another pattern then it may have been a different story. Just my opinion...

300c, 300t, Exodus Iron and Higgs Force SOLD

I think you will find that a lot of non bowlers also watched the show, a few of my work colleagues loved tuning in every week to watch the bowling on channel 31

Yes they cant control what you say but I know they are definitely banning bowlers from bowling anything accredited due to what they have said about bowling

I get what you are saying but I think we have a lot of evidence to say this hasn't worked, hence why the eight pins has been brought into play. Like I have said earlier, we can't judge that this system hasn't worked yet as it has only been two tournaments. Maybe we can also use the system...

If people don't like the 8 pins advantage for woman then please provide a solution to how we are going to increase female entries?

I think TBA is doing a lot more for the sport then bowling centres! I have lost count of how many times I have gone to practice at one of my local centres and been turned away because they would prefer social play. If most bowling centres had it their way, there wouldnt be any leagues or...

Rachuig trials have been the start of May for the past few years. Only reason i know is because I haven't been able to roll off due to having an event on at work and its also that first weekend in May

Defiant and invasion sold

I dont really get what you are saying doug... In a league you verse a team every week so in order to do a pre bowl you find out who you are versing that week and then organise a pre bowl...

Sorry natural is back on the market

At Dandenong we use the rule that if you want to pre bowl then you must do it against the team that you are versing. If this isnt possible then no pre bowl

I agree with Paul when the prize fund creeps up over the $250 mark, that's when I question if I actually want to bowl the event or not. Also agree with Matt. An event I love going to is Wodonga Skins. 10 games for $260 and each skin is worth $1000. I think to myself if I can just bowl one good...

I disagree I think there is a lot more power players and two handlers then strokers these days in the men.... I guess how can we judge that the system is going to work after only two tournaments, this needs to be monitored over a 12-18 month period then we can make a true judgement. I believe...

What i meant by this Matt, the argument is why are the females the only ones to get the eight pins, what about the average male who isnt up there on the winners board hence why i said how can you determine the average.. No matter what average the female has they are still going to get the eight...

Natural sold

The originally thread was started to voice if we all thought the eight pins was working so me being a female who is entitled to the eight pins just gave my general opinion, but apparently that was the wrong thing to do because no one agreed anyways. If you guys don't want to support the eight...

Things aint going to happen with a click of the fingers. Give them time and you will see a change. The reason our sport is declining is because of people like who you are very negative about decisions being made.

TBA have changed a lot in the past few years, they take everyones opinions on board hence why they introduced the eight pins and other stuff. If you want to help our sport then start believing in our governing body

My last post on this thread How do you determine a low average male bowler or even female for that matter. At their home centre they could average 200+ due to an easy house shot but then come to a tournament and be lucky to average 170....

We are all entitled to our opinions i guess Paul. Either way i dont mind what happens, if i dont get eight pins, i am not going to stop bowling tournaments just because of that. Oh wow I didnt know you were grammer police as well Paul! I dont see how you and Carlos are on my side because...

Yes woman do need to get off there ass and train to, i didnt mean just the men. And i agree we need to support our own division, i have always said this. I try and encourage a lot of the woman to bowl the tournaments but most of them just say they dont want to waste their money No i havent...

To gain speed i believe some do yes and some patterns need you to play real deep which a lot of woman cant do. To be completely honest i really wouldnt mind if i didnt get the eight pins, i would still bowl the tournaments but for others they like to get the eight pins.

I wasnt bagging those bowlers at all. I was just saying a little hard work can go a long way, that is all i meant. If anyone puts there mind to it they can easily smash the patterns and be up there on the winners board. Training hsrd equals results, you dont see people who dont train...
