Hey Brad,
The event was in Portland, Maine.
@luv2c10fall - you're missing the point. The league and entire house for that matter is comprised of people who are bowling for fun, not like most of us who post on here. The challenge shot is put out to ensure that scoring stays low, and all leagues are mixed leagues. Think of it this way, this house is comprised of bowlers/teams that you'd be more likely to see during an open bowling session or at a rock and bowl. They place an emphasis on fun and not scoring, that is all. So, yeah was it a good representation of a true amateur bowler in a typical center? Perhaps not, but wait and see what happens on a yet to be seen show...
@Gatekeeper - they were tailgating at 7AM for the 11 AM tapings. These guys are hardcore. It didn't hurt that Shipyard Brewery kicked in some major sponsor dollars for the event as well. Let's just say everyone had a good time. Several of tour guys said that this was the best environment that they ever bowled in. The Pro-Am was insane. Way better than what they showed for the team event. I've been to some significant sporting events, and the only thing I can compare it to would be a world cup soccer event in the UK, Spain or Italy.
