Title: How many years have you competed?
Post by: DanH78 on March 17, 2008, 03:21:30 PM

This year was my 7th consecutive USBC (formerly ABC) Tournament.  My father has attended 38 straight.  

How many years have you gone and have they been consecutive?

It IS next year!

This year will be my 8th consecutive.  I was asked to sub in Reno in 2001, and have been coming ever since.

This will be my 4th, but I missed Corpus Cristi.  Reno - Baton Rouge - Reno _ Albuquerque.

I've also bowled 2 Womens USBCs, both in Reno, the only place I can get a team of women to go and bowl. And for those who want to know, I did not bowl the Women's & Open in the same year, though it might happen next year with the open in Vegas and Women's in Reno.  I don't think I can pass either one of them up.

This year is my 16th.  Completed over a 36 year period, 1973-2008.  Just couldn't get away as often as I would have liked.

I got a late start, not going until 1999 (Syracuse).  I have gone every year since, which will make this year my tenth straight.

My son, who is 21, started going in 2005 (Baton Rouge), so this will be his fourth.  I hope he will keep going for many years, because he could easily get in 50 or more.

This will only be my third year in a row. Even though I haven't done all that well it's still a great time. And with Vegas and Reno coming up, I'm in at least two more years.

Tonight will be my first. It was awesome watching the 8:30pm team squad march out to the lanes last night. No doubt that I'll be more than a little nervous come 8:30pm tonight when I'm marching down the aisle.

In 1999 I moved to Raleigh NC .. prior to that I had been going on a regular basis with a bowling club in NY. Can't seem to get my record from BOWL.COM .. only shows my NC residence .. guess the prior records are tied to a different abc/usbc number!

15 for me. First 10 in a row starting in Corpus in 1992 right before I turned 21. That's the year the tropical storm came through and flooded the convention center. We had to bowl around the dripping roof on lanes 1 and 2. Missed Billings and last year in Reno due to work. Can't wait till I get back in June!

I've never been .  I have wanted to go for some time, been bowling since '82, just always seems to be something going on where I cannot save up the money.  Cars breaking down, buying houses, losing jobs, etc...

  Planned out the whole trip a few years back.  My dad ended up dying that year ( same day as Dick Weber ) and I didn't feel like doing much of anything for a while.

  I think I am going to try to get there the next time it is set up at the bowling stadium in Reno.  Would love to see and bowl in that thing.
