Area Tournaments
« on: January 05, 2008, 11:28:29 PM »
Comming up you have the Greater Southwest Open @ Northrock Lanes in Wichita, KS. Bowl where the PRO's bowl when they come to wichita. Always alot of high scores shot here but once you bowl, you'll agree it's one of the BEST around.  Just look at how many 300's and 800's are shot here each year and even in the tournament. It's worth the entry just to get away and have a great time!
 Here is a link to their web site for more information;

 Also comming up is the Greater Ozark Open in Springfield, MO. It has a Big Payoff as does the Southwest. Springfield just runs longer than the SouthWest. Both of these are situated in a location where there is plenty of sites to visit and lodging is not a problem. Here is a link to their web site also;

 I hope to see everyone there, especially in the brackets! handmeDN

That's some big scores down there. We go to the Greater Ozarks in March I believe. Never been to the South West though.

That's because Northrock is a strike fest. If you look at the local averages, there are people who average 220ish at Northrock and can't even average 200 at some other houses. There should be a Northrock Avg Change chart just like there is for sport leagues.

Personally, i believe this is the reason why the SW open is fading... fast. Back when it was in OK and scores were reasonable people wanted to bowl more. Now, at The Rock, its who can carry better and odds are you have to shoot 775+ in single to CASH...

Who wants to waste their money on odds like that?
