Given what is at stake this season, and that we have watched people qualify at 63 or 64 and then climb to the top 32, how much grousing might there be if some names have a 9-game total that would have placed them in the top-64 but who miss the cut because of the way this week has now been changed.

Granted, someone could post great games in the last two of the B-squad qualifying block, but after the first 7, only the top 13 were on a pace to beat the scores posted by the top 32 of A squad.  While there is no easy solution in cases of power failure like they had, it looks like Parker and a few others who have struggled this year might get screwed out of a cut while others who are not on a high enough pace will squeak in.

Hey Michelle, thanks for putting up who was on what squad, I was just trying to figure out how I was going to remember that, I thought something strange was happening, because at 1 p.m. here, 4 p.m. back there, only 7 games had been completed and they should have been done long before that, interesting that they changed their minds on how the cut was going to be determined, will still be tough for B squad bowlers I think.
