Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. Funny thing happend when I went to the link though. It actually took me to another FB page that had the Cleveland Kickoff info the first time I clicked on it. I had not know about that one. Might be going to Cleveland next weekend now.

Why did I think TOC was alot shorter? Are there two patterns? Is one for teh seniors and the other the regular TOC?

The current TOC pattern is around 39 feet. However, the TOC pattern from several years ago was 50 feet. They will be using the 50 foot pattern.

I'm not familiar with it. What kind of volume are we looking at?

I think it was pretty low volume, maybe around 18 mics?

Here's the title match from the 2007 TOC which (IIRC) was bowled on this pattern: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDu1TK81qG8

Looks fun. Should be even better when everyone takes charcoal and fries the front so we have insta burn before the ball skids backwards. Should keep the scores in check. I think they were a little higher than they wanted last year.

In Cleveland or at Legacy?

Legacy. Cleveland has always used a pattern that they don't disclose in advance but is always tournament worthy.
