Put my name down for the Sydney Cup today, hoped I could still get in B squad. No problem I was told, you are entry 33. that's not for B squad, that's the whole event. Time for some serious thoughts on major tournaments. AMF are putting in decent money but not getting decent entry...

The inaugural Cassell Classic has been run and won by Jason Belmonte. There were 65 attempts at qualifying about 30 short of expectations. The condition was a tougher style house shot, carry a little tough and surprisingly the left side did not work this event.(lefties have won just about every...

Actually to obtain a 300 during Asian Zone, European Zone, American Zone or even World FIQ Championships is not that common. Greg, Yes thank you, Sam is bowling very well lately, however, do you really think she has what it takes to become part of "The Gang"!!!!!! Catch you all on Saturday...

We are all go for the weekend, spots still open in some squads, so if you can make it call the bowl on 02 42969922 AF

Qbert, I won't give you another lame excuse, I have posted many times on this forum in relation to various issues, and quite obviously to you I am a blatant liar. I would love the opportunity to sit down face to face and go through the various issues and see what can be resovled. I will be back...

Great topic just I think that you are going up the wrong path. Selection methods are not changing why some tournament numbers are dwindling (Melb Cup did have 120 odd not bad I thought) Format and cost are changing peoples minds about playing. Format: 1. Too many games in one weekend, to...

Sue is turning 40 so we are running a tournament in her name to celebrate this milestone. Dates: 20 and 21 July Where: Shellharbour Bowl Format: 4 games qualifying (multiple attempts allowed) 4 squads saturday 2 on Sunday morning before final. Top 14 go into final Final is same as PBA...

I'll take that as a compliment, I believe in the selection system used this year, I believe that is is fairer than ever before for more bowlers, and whilst there can be a few slight changes, all bowlers can expect to be rolling off in some format and some bowlers being selected next year. And...

Michael, we are on the right track, in fact your thinking is already pretty close to what probably went on in the selection room. With a one definate exemption, I am fairly sure that the ORIGINAL 3 men and ladies selected were taken on results from ranked events, I mean we can bag the selectors...

George, I think you have missed my point 1.Rankings is this country is done as a service to bowlers by TBA. It is a requirement for funding by the Sports Commission to do this. The national ranking only serves to show who can bowl well on the condition served up. I am fairly sure that you will...

Brad, Why don't you contact your local pro shop!!!!!!!!!!! Luv Sue

for once I will be brief: 1. Winning the upper com bucka west open may look good on a resume.....but 16 games of matchplay on the desert is not good form for the 6 game (now 3 games on 2 conditions) FIQ format....6 games per day, very common is this country. 2. Rachuig may not be the...

Samantha Fisher - Age 14 Has had an average well in excess of 180 numerous times during tournaments and league competition. Also just bowled extremely well in the grand final of our Brunswick Trios Competition last Thursday night where her team came first, so she should win herself in excess...

or should I say BLAZE... Tim Mack yesterday shot 1047 (4gms) starting with a 300, just one hour earlier he shot 300 in the doubles event, using the new Eraser Blaze, some are calling it an asian record in a tournament, but I am pretty sure that M R shot 2 300's in one night in Tassie. You need...

QBERT, when I walked into the room where the selectors were in melbourne I did not see you there, but I am more than happy that you have a handle on all the going's on about selections, I will have to remind myself to ask you first when I need to know something. AF

Now if I ain't eating my words now, (in reference to previous post on FIQ selection) QBert, I have resigned from the team because I felt that my mind would not be 100% on the job. I have a sponsor who has in the past and again will be paying for me to play in Vegas at the High Roller and Mini...

Discussion point (A) This year TBA ran 3 rolloffs for ladies, Mens and Youth National Teams. All were open to every registered player in the country the opportunity to make their National team. All three were played on the same condition, the 1999 World FIQ Champs. Contrary to some opinion...

Insider, glad you know how long the pattern was on the weekend. The condition was 41 feet not 38 feet. With all your inside knowledge I guess you also know that the FIQ champs this year are bowled on 2 conditions....one 41 feet and the other 32 feet. Whilst Paul did leave a couple of 8-10's...

Are some of you guys on crack?? Did any of you actually look beyond personalities and really look at what has happenned to the sport in this country. We are not getting any better at this game, in fact there is about 10 guys who looked even the slightest bit at ease on the condition........we...

Just some dot points I can pass on to you: Lane conditions: Whilst the kegel dude has not arrived he has advised me that the pattern will most probably be 40 to 41ft in length, and as per FIQ rules will have 5 units at the end of buff. He will post the pattern at the bowl by Thursday afternoon...

Scoops, Mate I actually finished 4th, not alot of money but I have paid for the entries, and hopefully I can win a few matches in the Asian Bowling Tour. You automatically get $400 US for making the top 14. See what happens tomorrow. Lanes were hooking....George, there were 6 lefties in the...

You will be able to change ball surface during practice each day. remember points are awarded to only those people in the roll off. whilst everyone is trying to qualify for the final, the only names to appear on the TBA roll off results will be those who have paid the $20 fee or are in the...
