09-10 season
« on: June 06, 2009, 11:36:50 PM »
some interesting turns in the season with the us open in february (earlier than usual) and a tournament named after Mark Roth (FINALY) and something I find quite interesting the red white and blue open (if anyone can shine some light on that tournament that would be appreciated)

I heard an interview on the Go Bowling Radio show that the USBC is promoting a new concept for local, state and national tournaments with varying difficulties of lane patterns called red, white and blue.  This may be a tournament using this concept.

By looking at the schedule, it looks like we have to wait until Jan 10th to get a live final from ESPN

I thought Carolier had the US Open for the next few years?

Thats what I thought.. I thought they made a contract extension to keep it at Carolier for a couple more years. Somehow they must of gotten out of it.

PBA announced that quite a while ago.  They'll save tons of money not having to move from location to location for most of the first half of the season.  I do not agree with having the pros bowl so many tournaments in a row without longer breaks though.  I predict some of the older bowlers will not be able to keep up with pace (WRW, Duke, PDW, etc.), as well as some of the younger bowlers with health issues (Smith).

Riggs - I see that and I'm surprised they moved the final.

I'm not real keen on having the tournament in one house and surface... then wait 3 months move 1000 miles and have the TV finals in another house and surface.

But I guess when you are bleeding money.

I thought they had a contract with Wichita to hold the PBA world championship there for 3 years, this would have been the second year.

I wondered how that got broken and moved to Michigan. Maybe the TV final was a bone thrown to Wichita.

I see all the named pattern championships are being held during late Summer.  I gonna assume that we will get to see them eventually, but when?

It looks like they are gonna bowl one televised tournament and then take their winter break and not come back until January.  I would think that during this break they show at least a few of the tournaments bowled in August...but I could be completely wrong.

Anyone else think think this schedule looks like stupid?

I understand that the PBA needs to find cost cutting alternatives but having them bowl so many tourneys in a short time may not be the best idea.

First thing I see wrong if your a bowler with a nagging injury during the month of August, half of your season is lost because 7 tourneys are that month.

Second is that if you make the finals on Sept 4th for the PBA world  championship, you'll have to wait until Dec 13th to bowl in the TV finals. A lot can happen with injuries in those 3 months especially with so many games of bowling for the exempt players.

Yes, totally agree with you. What I'm wondering is what are the players going to do with this setup? Since the tournaments run in a row at the same house will they just stay there most of the time or keep having to drive or fly to the same house.

The other thing that I really don't understand is who does it benefit for the fans having all these tournaments taped delayed. Doesn't the PBA understand that we HATE THAT! We are going to know the winner first of all and it doesn't make the tournaments special following them just to have to wait weeks down the road to have it tape delayed. And what is with the World Championship having the finals December 13th which at least that is live but does anyone realize that the match play part of the tournament ends September 6??!! Ya, let's have a long, prestigious major then remind that the bowlers that are in the finals "don't forget to fly all the way out to our bowling center two months from now!"

If the PBA was going to do this brainiac idea having 7 something tournaments in one city why not just have them LIVE! Yes, we would not have bowling from Sept 5 to sometime in December but at least they would be live! So what if it wouldn't follow the true "pba season". Whatever that is anyways. I missed the PBA tour year tournaments pre 2001 anyways.

The other idea and this makes more sense if the PBA was going to have mass tournaments in one city, why not just have them at the END of the PBA season. Then it wouldn't interfere with the season and you could have live tournaments.
