Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in a pretty and well preserved body; but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming. "Wow, What a @*#% ride!!!"

I gotta start saving the previous years shots to compare years....from what i can tell, its a 4:1 ratio shot with a medium amount of volume 22mL ...I wanna say the pattern was a little shorter last year BUT i am prolly wrong lol

Medium? maybe not, if I played 4th arrow and deeper with a Visionary Blue/Green Centaur. Wasn't last year's 26 ml, per lane? I could be wrong.
This is a LIGHT oil amount. But the lanes being the Reno Bowling Stadium and a Lefty's Paradise, who knows until we see some results.

There was supposed to be a pretty substantial renovation since the last time we were there, and I believe one of the items on the list was new lanes. So all the old notions of how the lanes played, i.e. Lefty paradise, should go out the window

I think if not mistaken they mean two different things, the 50 ml per board is oil thickness, the 23.25 ml is total volume
if you get the us bolwer magizine there is a fantastic article in teh bronze tip section that covers oiling patterns

That part is not important.. What U really need to look at is the length and shape of the pattern and total volume..
But basically what Trig said..
The machine is set to pump oil out faster.. It's just a another way to set up a pattern to get the sought after taper with the new type of conditioners..
From the looks of it, if it's Kegel doin the lanes, breakpoint is aimed to be in the 8-10 board range..

dont be fooled those with hand can hit the inside on team event and score big if it is similar to last years shot

Hand is not needed, as far as I am concerned. Last year I watched several people on a couple of squads before I bowled. They played around the 1st arrow as breakpoint. All of them were completely lost by the end of the 1st game.
My rev rate is only in the 250 -300 range, well below yours. I used a 2000 grit dull Visionary Blue/Green Centaur, looking for a breakpoint around 10 board at 42-44 feet, roughly. Turned out I was hitting just inside the 4th arrow, maybe 19 board. Stayed there for 9 games; by end of singles/doubles, I HAD to move my feet 3 boards deeper, keeping the same breakpoint.
Except for being such a crappy spare shooter (bringing plastic this year, instead of urethane) I would have shot 1850; missing 6 easy spares brought that to 1780 or thereabouts.

anyone know which oil they use? i think kegel does the lanes, but wasn't positive.
Yes, it's Kegel. I believe they signed a contract a few years ago with USBC through 2008.
The oil is Kegel Infinity -- it's listed on the lane conditions page.
