From the looks of it all 7 Tournaments would qualify for National Rankings status.

This would be great if it got off the ground. Sounds like the earlier you get the dates set in place the better.

Looking at this years calendar there would have been no clashes with any of the Ranked events so let's hope this can be maintained for next year.

Are we still talking about an AMF Grand Prix Series. Because I was wondering if you had considered incorporating the Northern NSW Open into the series. Doing so would take it to 8 events. I understand they were considering moving to different dates. This may be another avenue of adding to sponsorship. Just a thought.

Victorians would definately look at bowling more regularly on this circuit if all tournaments on the circuit became ranked events. Can't have you New South Welshman hogging all the rankings points now can we.

With the advent of the new cut price airline by Qantas and with Virgin Blue looks like the 60 bowler mark per tournament may not be a problem.

Have to admit a bit of envy towards you guys up North. Although things down here are improving. We had 65 bowlers turn out to the inaugural AMF Classic at Boronia on Sunday.

90% of 210, 8 games qualifying, Top 12 matchplay, 1st $500 plus Super 6 entry 2nd $500. 12th $200 Some cash was payed out to as low as 33rd $20. 60 men 5 women (great to see 4 got some cash back).

Not an ideal format but it's a start.

Hope the sponsorship works out and we see a vastly increased National Ranked Events Circuit next year thanks to your good work.

Well done Glenn, it sounds like an awesome series. I have no doubts you'll get a fair few Queenslanders down there. Keep up the good work and I'll see you at a stop some time.
