Hey Fuzz,
Just a few quick things to bring up I dunno if you can do anything about them but we will see. I've noticed a couple of date clashes:
Both Stage 1 and Stage 3 trials clash with 2 Youth Ranking Events (Canberra Youth and Bankstown Youth I think).
Shur Graphics on the 20th also clashes with the newly introduced Masters Challenge down at Mentone.
I know there are barely any free dates around anymore but just thought I would let you guys know.
Cheers,
Hughesy

Hughesy thanks for the info below as always the calander is getting much harder each year to prepare and decide on which dates may be suitable.
The one positive in all this is that if a bowler wants to plan their bowling all year they can select which tournament they will chose so as you can see its becoming a buyers market.
It just goes to show that the sport of Tenpin Bowling around Australia can be seen in a positive way.

Gunther,
As soon as they come off the printing press I will make sure that the MTBA commitee will have copies sent out so as those that can not get acess online will be still able to enter.

"Could you please make sure some entry forms for some of these events get mailed to country centres as some centres are not on line to download which meens we miss out."

Fuzzy,
I have looked at the calander for this year in regards to holding ECCC roll offs and clashes with national events. If both Stage One and Three are put back one week this aviods any potential clashes.
As Brett has previously mentioned Stage One clashes with Canberra Yth Cup and Stage Three clashes with Bankstown Yth. However if these stages are held one week later, Stage One would be held on the 4th-5th of June with Stage Three on the 5th-6th of August. These two dates coincide with the Perth Tenpin Cup and the Mackay Open.
Before everyone jumps on my back indicating a clash of dates still occurs, i have researched these two events. Last years Perth Tenpin Cup featured three Victorians (Paul Trotter, Nat Shelley and Dave Rogers) and the Mackay Open has not been held as a ranked event previously (but given its location, between Rockhampton and Townsville its unlikely Victorians will travel to this event).
As it can be seen, these events are not populated by Victorians, hence the perfect opportunity to hold rolloffs on those weekends arises. I am aware that the ECCC rolloff dates as previously mentioned by Fuzzy do not affect adults, however they clearly impact on the youths.
Holding the rolloffs at the current proposed dates results in five of the scratch youth boys from last years ECCC team to make the decision between bowling East Coast or bowling in the youth events. We all enjoy bowling East Coast, however, i believe i would not be alone in saying that we prefer to bowl nationally ranked youth events.
Im not sure if anything can be done by the M.T.B.A. to change the dates, but I hope, as well as other Victorian youths that they can be changed. Otherwise i can see Victoria sending away weaker teams to Toowoomba.
Hoping to hear some responses soon,
Craig

i don't think it matters what day's the east coast trial dates are on, someone will always say it clashes. A firm date needs to be settled on and that's it. Not like last year with the different dates for the youth bowlers. if people want to bowl in other tournments then so be it. there are other bowlers that will bowl And as craig has put may not be as strong but they are willing to bowl for victoria. I think the last trial date is late enough considering we are going to qld and need to organise flights and places to stay. All these dates are good to me. By the way craig there is a whisper that trotts may bowl. i was thinking of bowling perth cup. so i would like the dates to stay as they are. just my thoughts...

Thanks for the reply Al, the main reason I posted was to see what kind of responses were made!
That being said, as some of you would be aware I made east coast for the first time for a few years in 2004 (due to going away with another sport). Last year made me realise just how much I enjoy bowling east coast. If the dates remained the same as outlined by Fuzzy, I will reschedule my plans for the year and choose different youth events to bowl in (and I would encourage other youths to do the same :wink: ) to ensure i can bowl east coast.
(I did previously mention that I prefer bowling ranked youth events, and whilst this is still true, I wouldn't want to miss east coast like I have previosuly - just wanted to clear that up!!)
Noddy, hopefully the whisper is true about Trotts. He is a great team player who will always stick up for his teammates. So lets keep our fingers crossed
Cheers,
Craig

Thanks Craig, i missed bowling east coast last year and will always try out for the team at any cost. it's the best team enviroment that i have bowled in and can't wait try out again. if the dates were changed i would not bowl perth cup. well let's hope we can get the strongest teams possible for the tilt this year.

hey just to throw another spanner in the works but if stage 2 is held on the 25/26 jul it would clash with the Qld Ladies Classic in Caboolture, i would like to try out for east coast this year but until the dates are confirmed for stage two its hard to decide...i know i haven't bowled before but there are a couple of other ladies who would probably try out that would possibly be looking at going to Qld also.
