ToC
« on: December 11, 2003, 07:18:04 AM »
I am really looking forward to this weeks tournament. The Tournament of Champions is always great. I was just wondering what everyone thinks of the seeding. I think they should bowl so many games and place them by that in brackets, instead of picking names. But whatever, I still cant wait till Sunday. What does everyone else think?

I think that I should've taken today off and gone to watch like I did last year!  Actually I was there for the telecast too!

But this year I'm just going on Saturday...Should be a great tournament!  

To answer your question though:  I have mixed feeling about just picking names since that's not the method they use at normal PBA tournaments.  I think they should just stay consistent and use the point standings...but that's me!!

Rags, it's Chris Warren, not Del.

Boy, I'm getting to be as bad as Randy Pedersen at calling matches.  Talk about the kiss of death...

Wilson over Wiseman
Parker over Maximum Bob
Jaros over Kent
Weber over Soutar (had to get one right...)

Rags,
That was an interim result. The final was 30-29. Mika lost.

Wow, what a funny game this is.

"My Week" McCune went from being carried out of the bowling center a week or two ago, to beating the hottest player on the planet.  Of all the upsets, this is definitely the biggest.  Too bad it doesn't count toward the points; McCune needs a bunch of them, or his professional bowling career is over.

What am I saying?  I CAN'T STAND THIS GUY!
