Is this tournament being run in 2006? If so, can someone supply dates so I can ask for leave and book flights well in advance? Thanks, Pete

Hi all, Just wanted to bounce an idea off you all - a mate of mine from queensland (hi jase) told me that one of the regional scratch tournaments in Burdican was offering 1/2 price entry for anyone who had an average under 170 in an effort to attract a bigger field. Has anything like this...

Can anyone tell me the following ... 1. Name of the bowl this event is held in 2. Name of the hotel across the road 3. Dates of the tournament... I want to get in and book my accommodation and airfares early! ALSO - anything regarding the surface type and oiling machine/...

Hi all... Looked on the callendar for bowling tournaments around Brisbane in October, November, December (or Sydney in December) - but nothing listed in the Callendar. I did notice ipswitch tournament entry form - but the tournament was not on the callendar. Can anyone tell me is there...

Anyone heading to Darwin for Arafura Classic, I have a couple of spare beds at my house if you need somewhere to stay. Interstate and international bowlers have begun arriving for the Arafura Games - looking like it will be a big event this year - followed by the Arafura Classic. Hopefully a...

Here is a question for you all - and lets cut straight through the B/S for honest answers please.... How much money would have to be on offer in order to get the majority of Australias best bowlers to a tournament? $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 first prize? or more? ALSO - how far down...

Authors at the site - http://www.bowlingball.com think so... Below is an opening extract from their latest newsletter... It appears that the bowling industry watch-dogs in the USA are not happy about the ever growing numbers of high-average and high-score bowling, so in an effort to bring...

Read the Sporting Quotes - they were great! Here are a couple of non-sporting ones that I read on insurance claims where people had crashed their cars... "All I rmember is watching the sad faced old woman as she bounced off my bonnet and onto the bitumen" "I was temporarily blinded by...

Just read the topic of bringing pins back up the lane - some good reading - GDF one on Tim Mack takes the cake.... HOWEVER - I personally have knocked over a 5 pin (completely over on its side) - which 'bounced' a certain way and stood back up between the 7 and 8 pin spots. I have also slid...

Never been there... Would like to go this year. Can anyone tell me the closest major centre to Dee Why (if flying from interstate - where do you fly to and how do you get to Dee Why?). ALSO - accommodation and bowling equipment suggestions open! Thanks. Pete

As far as I am aware the final conditioner pattern has been established and programmed into the machine for the Arafura Classic tournament. The Darwin bowling alley - Planet Tenpin - will not disappoint those who are expecting some slippery stuff - and having had a bit of a bowl on the...

Big THUMBS UP to the organisors of the SA Cup and for TBA regarding the introduction of the new requirements regarding lane dressing. The condition set was excellent for bowler development and separating the "men" from the "boys". (This post is coming from one of the boys by the way - or...

The majority of readers have probably never heard of them - I hadn't until I purchased 5 recently from http://www.donkee.com bowling products. Bulldog is a new company starting out that use the AZO moulding factory in the AZO down-time. There is no similarity in their equipment at all...

Can anyone from Perth pls advise where a close & cheap motel is in respect of the Cannington Cup tournament hosting venue? ALSO - to WA-ites, are the lanes there dry or slick in comparrison with the rest of Australia.... Oh yeah - anyone who would be prepared to 'billet' a bowler...

Given the introduction of the tba lane conditioning codes for national tournaments, I have a couple of questions about the SA cup oiling pattern. 1. Has anyone from either the centre or AMF comfirmed that the pattern will meet the sanctioned requirements for ratings this year? 2...

Can anyone who has attended the tripple header in Singapore (and surrounds) in October / November tell me if these events are on again in 2004 - if so - can anyone tell me where I can go to find the dates??? I have also been told of a tournament coming up in Phillipines with a $20,000 US...

Someone told me that you are not automatically ranked, that you have to register. Can anyone advise how you register and when you have to register by? Thanks.

Hi folks, Instead of re-inventing the wheel, I thought I would bounce the idea of a league format off all of those 'experienced' bowlers out there, just in case this idea has been tried before without success.. ('experienced' is a politically correct substitution for OLD) THE IDEA is to...

Good luck to all of you having a chuck this weekend.... Wish I was there, you don't realise how lucky you guys are in S.E. QLD with the number of tournaments and high quality and just plain nice bowlers. SE QLD must be the best area in Australia to live if you want to take your bowling...

For anyone entering the Arafura Games or Arafura Classic Singles, Here is a hint... Dont bother brining any polished equipment - the lanes are gonna be wet wet wet...... Bowling a Track Enforcer, hit with equivilant of 600 grit and left that dull, the deepest I was able to go was 18...

FYI, Here is a link to a place offering a monthly FREE draw for some neat bowling items. http://www.donkee.com/drawing.htm GOOD LUCK !
