Hypercell = Hyperhook!
Almost non existant in this country, I wonder why? They trialed it at the Koolfoam in 1999 with great success and then ????? it dissappeared. There are tremendous advantages to bowling re-entry events and the prizefund takes a good whoop in the $&@#.
I would like the see the views of other bowlers with a dummy tournament I will post below. Tell me what you think and why it would work or why it wouldn't. Here goes.....
DUMMY Superclassic, Champion of Champions (great name I know)
Location: Bankstown Sydney (just an example)
Format: Multiple re-entry, 4 game qualifying, $50 a go. Finalists to be divided into 3 pools. State Pool (A), Inter state Pool (B) and Combined Pool (C). Top 12 in the Pool A, the Top 12 in pool B and Top 12 in the combined pool C advance to the semi finals.
By this I mean locals can qualify over the 1 WEEK PRIOR to the semi's to boost local numbers and promote the event more in their state. Qualifiers will bowl 4 games at $50 attempt. If bowlers do not make their top 12 for their pool, they still have a chance of getting in Pool 3 which will be the combined pool of Staters and Inter Staters. Qualifying squads to be run over Friday and Saturday (should be able to get heaps of squads in, rewashing after every 3).
Semi finals, Top 36 bowlers bowl on Saturday night in the semi's all from scratch. All bowlers will bowl 6 games, field then cuts to 18.
Finals (Sunday), Top 18 to bowl 17 games of head to head matchplay, 30 for a win, 15 for a tie. At the completition of the finals the bowler with the most pinfall from the semi and grand finals is the winner.
For those who didn't quite grasp the concept. You must qualify to get into the finals. Qualifying is $50 per attempt, you can have as many goes as you can afford. If you are bowling in your home state you get to qualify up to a week before the event. Your scores go into Pool A (Home state pool). If you are from out of State, you can bowl anytime Friday or Saturday in order to qualify. Your scores go into Pool B (interstaters). There is also a second chance Pool for next highest 12 scores from each pool, namely Pool C.
Interested to hear your views..............
