So let me get this straight, the TD lied as to what the lane condition would be?

Said one thing to get entries and did another after the entries showed up?

That's pretty low.

What do you care..? You ain't never gonna show up!! If you did, nobody would know you anyway!!

Mike L,

You are not what I am talking about. You have an awareness of when it is your turn. I am talking about the guys who get into 2 brackets, and decide to go and try and find their bracket, when they are the next bowler up, and then go try to see what their opponent is doing. And besides, when you get in a ton of brackets, it doesn't take that long to figure out where you are, since your in all of them, and probably have a good idea of what you shot compared to the rest of the field.
I agree with the two lane courteous, I didn't do it, and for that I know a couple of guys around me backed off, but TD said no two lane, so I didn't give it, unless a bowler had a string going. But in all fairness, when the PBA every other pair of lanes rule is done correctly, it really is the fastest pace you can bowl.

Fastest PACE hands down.... You never need a traffic cop to determine who is gonna bowl while 6 guys look back and forth at each other!!

Sorry but no the fastest pace is one lane. It takes us 3 and a half to 4 hours tops to bowl 6 games at every chambersburg/hagerstown tournament, everyone gets up and goes. We start at 9 or 10 and im on the way home at 1 or 2 at the latest and thats after a stepladder final.

Tommy,
I understand what and who you are talking about. Yes of course most of the time I know if im still in a bunch or not, but I do look but yes I am aware of when I am up.

I've been on tour and the PBA every other lane courtesy is NOT the fastest pace. What are you people smoking? There are so many pre madonna's out there that stand on the approach that seems like minutes. Now you get all the local scratch tournament guys who try to act like the pba guys on the approach and it takes even longer to bowl. I read it earlier and I have to ask the same question.....What in the world are you time keepers thinking about on the approach for anything longer than 3 seconds?

Dave, I appreciate the support, I'm glad someone has my back on here.

"PWOICantHearYou" and "tommygn", I was on your pair/to the left of you Sunday, I hope I didn't slow you guys down. Unfortunately, it was a long day for all of us, regardless.

Does anyone know who "Donald Trump" or now "MSU Bwlr as well" is anyways? I am guessing they are the same person who has nothing better to do with their time.

BTW, i hate to brag and I'm only doing it to prove a point, but I got 5th on Sunday with +19, and have cashed in my last 5 tournaments. Obviously I have bowled myself out of a lot of paper bags as of late.

I was wondering who you were dave...I tied with you at +19 for 5th. i can't believe someone would bash you for your bowling. you weren't slow at all in my opinion and you handled yourself fine on the lanes. You are also a great bowler. Don't listen to this nonsense. great bowling sunday and hope to see you around again.

Sorry Dave Lughermo but I am not your alter ego Mich State bowler.

I am all for tough conditions. I am not bashing the condition, I am bashing the information given on the lane condition. The TD was better off not saying a word because from what I hear the lanes did not play like a normal 35 foot flat pattern and the scores obviously showed this.

Modified house shot, how many of you are old enough to remember when 12 foot patterns were legal? That was the house shot at some centers. I remember when 32-36 became the norm before the 38-44 we see at houses now. When a pattern is sprayed or rolled across a lane, that is the house shot.

USBC is trying to roll out the Red, White & Blue program which are nothing but modified house patterns. Okay, maybe not the "house shot" you play on at your home center(s) but it is a house pattern.

Rick provided what he said as it was posted right here January 27 at 10:36am on Ball Reviews. Thursday at league, 72.5 miles from Colony, I was talking to a tournament bowler about the pattern. We both said the scoring pace was not going to be high. There is no real need to empower people with knowledge that the average bowler cannot decipher. We all want to do better without any real work and nothing works like that. In case no one has noticed, folks whine when they easy and whine when they are tough. We are an uphappy bunch when things don't go in our favor.

Bakes you and Tony are the only ones who seem to whine when they are easy.

Some of us just bowl on the easy and tough stuff and accept it. I wish you would as well.

I prefer the lanes tough and have bowled on many tough conditions. Never once have I bowled on 35 foot pattern with a -74 score to cash. The east has too many high caliber bowlers to have scores this bad on a 35 foot flat pattern.

I'm not buying what Rick is selling.

Hopefully her learns from this and doesn't say what the pattern is next time. that way when a -74 is 16th place everyone can hop on here and talk about 35 foot patterns in the middle of the lane and 47 foot patterns on the gutter.

Once again DONALD TRUMP, if you want the oil pattern sent to you I can do that. I have an ION machine and a pocket KOSI to run the shot anytime you are in town. If you want it email to you, send me a message and I will email it to you. It was a 35 foot pattern from gutter to gutter, to call me a liar and you not being here just insults me and the bowlers that did show up and bowled. You are just making yourself look more like an inmature person and no one will take what you say serious again. Just my opinion, and statements. I offered the send the shot to you and you had NO REPLY back, so you should not comment on it any longer. Thank you and have a great bowling career in New York.

Mr Ed Onkey, luckily the feelings are mutual. I hate you more...especially when you get me kicked out of the golf shop at Caesar's

Poffy, I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight after that remark. I thought you were better than that

Hold up. I didn''t even bowl in this tournament, so my name shouldn''t be brought up at all!.....

Trump - I have been around this game a long time and I have bowled on and been successful on tough and easy patterns. I don''t want to bowl tournaments on THSs anymore. As a tournament director, I have made the decision to not put those out at any of my tournaments because they don''t make you go to your B, C or D game. I have said it once before and I will say it again. THE PBA SHOULD BURN IN HELL FOR STARTING THE STUPID TREND OF ANNOUNCING PATTERNS BEFOREHAND.

Just use your 10 minutes of practice and figure them out.

Lastly, being a TD is truly a THANKLESS JOB. I am sure Rick did not set out to start any drama when he scheduled this tournament. All you can do is put the patterns down and hope it plays like you expect. I hope he does not get discouraged from running them because we need them.
