Very well done Shelbs.

Get a few more and book a houseboat :)

Acceleration is measured in a direction, in this case, towards the pin. Momentum is the ability of an object to resist acceleration, in this case to stop or deflect. What the modern balls do is increase the momentum of the ball at the point of impact by having a weight block and a surface...

Out of curiosity, why was the sponsorship lost? I still saw the signs etc on the walls.

TB is not an official TBA site and whilst it is good they allow you to advertise tourneys it is only a minority of people who see that. Why would you want anyone to promote TB when there is a perfectly good TBA website that could possibly be better utilized and publicized? If a website must...

I am probably going to be made out to be the bad one for pointing it out but Total Bowling is becoming obsolete. Tourneys need to find other ways to advertise if they want good numbers. Like stated above, TB is only a very small part of the bowling community and it is getting smaller.

Any updates on how the tourney is going?

There will be atmosphere regardless of what squad you bowl in or how many people are in it. This is in Mildura, enough said. There is still plenty of time for the squad to fill. It wasn't that long ago that none of the quads had more than 9 bowlers.

Curiosity got the better of me here. Why would you want to combine the squads just because A squad might not fill? Everyone has the opportunity to join A squad if they like. If there are advantages or disadvantages to being in any squad then isn't it up to the bowlers to decide which...

no. electronic aids are banned :P

your usual constructive and narrow sighted input Fitzy. Good to see. How about you quote the other posts that are off-topic. You are like a little kid. You jump on the side of whoever you think is winning and you rarely have an opinion of your own unless someone gives it to you. Grow some...

Perhaps you need to look at that again and decide who is throwing the tantrum. What I wrote is plainly there for all to read. I don't need to say I said something else or that I didn't write it. How about you post where I have said anyone does not deserve to be there or that any bowler...

I will no doubt be there and I have already offered my assistance off the lanes. I have not decided whether or not I am bowling yet. I bowl because I enjoy it. Not because of rankings points, not because of ego, not because of prize money. I truly do not care if I win/lose when I bowl league...

Michael, where in any of this thread does it say people use rankings points as a reason not to bowl tourneys? I believe I said they don't bowl tourneys just to get ranking points. If you include masters and make it 5 events then it is only 26 people who completed their maximum number of...

Michael, how are you going to improve a system if you don't know where it needs improving? You need to identify the possible faults so that you can change them to something better.

Bec, so no matter how well you bowl in 3 events, someone who bowled the 5 could get lower results and be ranked higher. Enough said.

If you use your best 3 finishes would you still be ranked where you are?

That's fine George. If you lot who are high on the rankings system are ok with a system that only ranks the top 33 bowlers in the country then you be happy with it. I personally think it is faulty. lol @ $3000. Take wages, travel, accommodation, food, drinks etc out of that and it is nowhere...

Bec, if you had only bowled 3 tourneys where would you be ranked? It is a fault of the system that allows people who bowl more tourneys to be ranked higher. Some may deserve it and some may not but it allows it to happen.

Sam, where did anyone in this entire thread say they were better than anyone else? Stop clutching at straws and trying to divert the topic and get back to discussing the rankings system.

Why should they? Give me a reason. What if they simply do not want to? What if rankings don't interest them? What if they simply can't? Or dare I say it, what if like most people, they don't need to prove anything to yourself or anyone else.

Bec, You just summed it up. You are the ones able to travel to more tourneys. Thank you for finally admitting it. Can you tell me where in any post made by anyone on this thread that someone said those at the top of the rankings did not deserve to be there please.

Bec, how many more tourneys have you bowled than the people below 14th spot on the rankings? Do you really want to go down this path? How about you go back and read my post a bit slower and then comment on what I actually wrote.

Sam, give me a meaningful reason/incentive to bowl in one and I will be there. Yours is yet another post made by someone that is completely off topic but wont be removed. How about you look at the system, identify the faults in it and work on improving it.

I said the post was stupidity, very much like your own. I did not say the person who posted it was stupid. Also, unlike you I stay on topic and actually post something whether people agree or not.
