Tommy Jones had the most titles this season, he should be in it. Mika only won one one I think? Is PA in it?

Each of those bowlers, (not because she is a woman) other than Liz has a reasong they could be voted bowler of the year. I would vote for P.A., though I really don't care for the guy.

i think it should be a 3 man show: allen, barnes, jones. mika and wrw didnt do much, and johnson= big deal, may have been the first but wont be the first to win a tourney. watch for a girl out of the tampa area: melanie ogrady: youngest wibc 300 member @ 15. i think next year she wants to go to tour trials @ 17.
