Perhaps if you idiots bothered to read posts and comprehend them we could have a sensible discussion for once. Get back on topic. Whether or not you want to admit it there are bowlers who are more than capable of bowling that level who chose not to. The ranking system allows people to...

More stupidity by someone who refuses to see reality. That is not what I said at all.

Not everything is about ego and not everyone feels the need to prove themselves to others. No-one has said the top 10 don't deserve to be there. What was said is they can get there simply by bowling more tourneys than others and that is a fact. Whether you like it or not, not everyone is...

Agreed, winning a tourney with 100 entries should be weighted more than winning one with only 30 entries and losing should be the same for all events. George, You only need to look at the people at our centre to know there are at least 2 and maybe more who could compete at that level but...

Haven't you noticed that very few people even care about the rankings? You are trying to justify a system that the majority agree needs looking at. There are a number of issues working against the tourney scene and that has all been discussed before. The rankings system will be extremely...

Roysa, who said they had an issue not being on the list? Not a single person on here.

Piece of info. The ranking system is based on your best 4 finishes plus masters, a potential 5 events. Of the men, 19 out of the top 51 listed have bowled 4 events or more - 37%. Of the women, 14 of the 51 listed have bowled 4 events or more - 27%. That's a combined 32% of those listed on...

There needs to be a system that is fair and caters for all, not just those who are fortunate enough to bowl more events. If you need evidence just look at the rankings. The ones near the top are generally those who bowl the most events and this seems to be a simple case of how the system works.

Anyone who is fortunate enough to bowl in a lot of events and have a heap of points will of course be happy with a flawed system that rewards it and possibly shows a false ranking.

Something I fully agree with. Only a few people care about the rankings. I will go a step further than the original question for this post. Do we even need the rankings system?

Until you get all the bowlers bowling in comparable events on comparable conditions and in the same number of events you will always have a faulty system. I know all those bowlers at the "top" of the list like to think they are the best but the truth is they are not all the good bowlers we have...

About the only thing right with the current system is that something exists. I think rankings points are a joke to start with and are only there to pamper a few people's egos. Not all the good bowlers bowl in ranked events so the whole system itself is a farce and will always be so.

Doesn't matter what setup you have it will not suit all situations. The current rankings system is a joke due to a number of reasons but no doubt they have been discussed before.

Good luck to all. Have a good weekend.

Don't know you personally but well done. The first one is always one to remember.

In fairness to some of those who posted they never questioned Belmo, they just said rules are rules. To quote someone else "mountain out of a mole hill".

Not very often I agree with you Roysa but I have to this time.

Rules are rules and he broke them. Now he has some sort of penalty because of it. I am not sure where the issue is. Perhaps because of who he is you lot think there should be a second set of rules maybe............

lol.........

bluey, i don't care who you are or who you think you are. If you think something I have posted is untrue then say so. Until then, you can follow the rules too. I post my opinion as I see it. Hooligan, if you don't agree then fine. It does not mean that me (or any other person) shouldn't...

A little bit of fairness wouldn't go astray. If you are going to warn me then at least be consistent.

I don't need to justify what I type to you or anyone else but I will give you a reply anyway. Yes I said that. It was after 2 or 3 posts of people treating the Nationals as just another tourney on our calendar. You can read whatever you want into it and make up whatever bull**** you want but...

AMF did not put $100k into the event. It was nowhere near that. Much of the prize money was paid by entrance fees. I seem to be forgetting myself again, according to Michael I am ignorant and don't know how things are. Michael, I did not say Cara needed to be there 24/7 and I did not infer...

You deserve a special reply. 1. I don't care what you think. 2. I post reality and common sense and if people don't like it then the issue is theirs, not mine. 3. The ones who taint this forum are the same ones holding back the promotion of the sport in the country. They are stuck in the...

Perhaps the issue is not the sarcasm in my posts but the way in which other people on here seem to think the nationals is just another event. I have no issue, and I really don't care, what Cara does or doesn't do. What I have issue with is the fact that the usual suspects on here justify...
