Jorge, I know the feeling, but as itsallaboutme stated, the average base for that tournament is always really high. 

This year's invitational handicap was 90% of 246, so my 223 average garners 20 pins A GAME!!!  I love that.  But I believe I was only entered in scratch (was asked last minute to bowl).  We did well in team, but even with 20 pins a game, I didn't do anything else.

Maybe its my understanding of the word PRO...
This is just me but it means you are the best and are entitle to certain benefits.. 
Amateurs dont have the right to participate in professional event so why should they be allow to participate in Amateur events...

Zanatos,
    Actually Amateurs can compete in PBA events. I have bowled probably close to 10-12 PBA Regionals over the years and I have never been a PBA member. The USBC Masters is a PBA title, yet is open to any USBC member (I believe), and I believe the WSOB is open to anyone as well.
     Reminds me of NASCAR, having the Sprint Cup drivers competing in the Nationwide and Truck Series. A lot of people like it, says it makes them better to compete against the best. Plus if you do win, makes it that much sweeter. Last time I checked the PBA players were human and they can have bad days just like the rest of us.

Spmcgivern,
     Are you from the Houston area? Did you ever bowl at Copperfield? Maybe I know you, lol.
 
And I know, as I said, wasn't expecting to finish in the same spot, but after bowling 25 pins a game over my average (in round figures of 5), and getting a few pins of handicap a game, I figured I would have been top 10, maybe top 15 at worst. But to be like 20th, seemed to me something was out of whack. Either there were a lot of sandbaggers, or a large group of people bowled their best 2 days ever, or something is wrong with the way the handicap is given. Maybe the real answer it was a combination of all 3, who knows.

Have only bowled Copperfield once (that I remember) when I subbed for Bubba Haney's team a few years back.  Was based out of College Station at the time.  I have been based out of Alpha the last few years with some bowling at Arm I & II also.

I didn't get down to that side of town too often, lol. I think the only time I bowled at Arm I or Arm II was the year the state tournament was there. I bowled the Wed night scratch league at Copperfield while I was there. Good league, had Shawn Maldenado, Pete McCordic, Bill Lillard...and a bunch of other really good bowlers in it.
