***OFFICIAL PBA Tournament of Champions THREAD***
« on: March 28, 2007, 04:01:23 AM »
First of all, one of my favorites is back on the roster... ROBERT SMITH! Let's see what he has done in his time off.  Hopefully we can see some great players on the telecast this Sunday (they are all great, but you know what I mean).  Also, it is the longest pattern of the year - 50 feet.  It almost looks like the US Open pattern but just 10 feet long on the backend.  I know I couldn't do well on it.

The Vertigo is the best ball Storm ever made.  Find one if you can.
I might have the strongest drilled Black Widow in history.

No offense to Barnes but I hope Healey rocks his world.  That guy is just solid.  I don't know though because Barnes must have the momentum going for him.

wow way to end PDW with a 300
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

There was a draw party last night.  The MC drew one name out of a hat, that guy drew a name out of a hat to be his opponent, and the opponent drew their lane assignments/seeding out of a different hat.  The "PDW vs WRW" article on the PBA site explains it.

Yeah, never mind my argument of old format vs. new format.  Drawing names out of a hat is definitely the best way to influence who gets on the show.
