what are the pba tour finals
« on: May 29, 2017, 10:28:01 AM »
I see on CBS sports network pba has a tour finals event round 1.  Is that live.  If not when did they do the matches.

Meanwhile a number of Pets.com ver 3.0 unicorns that will never make money (hell a lot of them have business plans even my 6yo could point out the flaws in) are worth billions in Silicon Valley.  What a world.

You're supposed to browse ebay once you start drinking.

Pretty sad they can't find good sponsership anymore.Heck the majors hardly pay anything.Seems like when Microsoft guys bought it that was the decline and it never has recovered.The Main Event Tour finals is sad.The Bowlers don't even look like they want to be there.Hardly any crowd really sad.And good old Tom Clark just a grinning like a possum.Almost been CEO and Commissioner 10 years.About time for him to go.

But then who will fly around the world including partying at the Olympics on the bowlers dime?

The owners of the PBA obviously do not care nor do they have a clue. Somehow, the PBA members need to take back professional bowling as they are the ones with the most at stake.

They need a PBA member/Bowling propiertor as a CEO/ Commissioner.Someone that was successful on tour and has a successful bowling alley business.The last Main Event show had 25 people maybe watching.Really sad the payout is actually decent 30,000$.Probably only because Main Event is popping up everywhere.I am sure they put the money up.They are building one in my city opens next month.Hopefully they know how to keep bowlers happy.We have 3 other centers here .Owned by Strike & Spare and they are terrible.Anybody have a Main Event they bowl in.If so let me know your experience there.

The PBA can't bring in sponsorship. Therefore, it's doomed. You would think that with big wigs from MS owning the place, they could get some cash. Oracle, Amazon, not Google or Apple. Imagine seeing the Sun Microsystems Tournament of Champions. Nokia present the US Open. The AMD Ryzen National Championship!

  I agree this no sponsorship is ridiculous.There are tons of great bowlers around the country.They will never get to showcase their talent.
  You can't make a good living being a PBA member.Only a select few make enough to survive.10 years is long enough this guy needs to go.This ship has sunk.
  I keep hoping somehow bowling makes a comeback.Not for me I am old news at 56.I still love the game Just hoping for the younger guys to get to experience winning some  good cash.

A waste of time from a viewers standpoint.

Sadly, the last five posts pretty much sum up the way it has always been.  I came out of college in 1971 to a 10k per year job
  That left me in better shape than a top 20 money winner on tour.
