Matt McNiel/USBC Masters
« on: February 22, 2013, 08:47:46 AM »
Matt McNiel is sitting in 14th after 15 games. He made the cut and is heading into the double elimination match play. Crossing my fingers hoping he does well and makes the top 5 for Sunday's telecast. Would be pretty cool to see 900 Global/AMF being represented on t.v. again. Good luck Matt!

Is he allowed to throw it since its the usbc masters. Or does he still have to throw different equipment since its a PBA event and AMF 900 global didn't renew there contract so there equipment can't be thrown. Would be nice to know what he is throwing now though.

It's a USBC tournament so all USBC approved equipment is allowed for use.

The telecast is owned by the PBA so if he makes TV he'd have to throw something else.

I thought it was too before I saw 900 Global's facebook page where they confirm that non-PBA registered products cannot be used on the telecast.

That wasn't a PBA tournament, so the strict use of PBA regisrered equipment doesn't apply.

I agree with svengali.
Back when I threw Roto and they weren't PBA regisitered I asked that question to Schlemmer and Hank while I was at the Masters.
Jokingly I asked them what I should do if I made the show.
There response was we will put some Storm stuff in your hands "cheap".

Another question might be.

What will he be wearing on his feet?

He is a Lind's Laker.
free agency it is until i get a better offer.   LMAO

There was also a brief 900 Global sighting on last week's show when they first showed Michael Haugen. It was an old promo clip and he was holding a 900 Global ball.

Looks like Matt made it the 3rd round of match play where he was beaten by Parker Bohn III by 12 pins. There is still hope, he is bowling against Sean Rash in the elimination bracket.

Stop posting the live feed, it keep crashing from so many people watching it, lol.

As for McNiel, being that I am from MN, I would love to see him make the show.  Rash will be tough, but Matt has been bowling really well and anything can happen.
