Doc,
I think the Black Turbo is a good idea. I personally keep my urethane dull and my plastic highly polished when I go to the Pete.
I would add a few pieces of advice to what everyone else has posted so far. First, be prepared with a backup plan - i.e. when you have no reaction on a lane, start headhunting, going straight at 'em. You can go from either the left corner or the right corner, whichever is more comfortable for you. However, you'll find that you actually have a "playable" reaction on some lanes (not necessarily a pair of lanes). Last year, on 15-16, I had a hook-stop-hook reaction with my plastic ball on 16, but nothing on 15, so I was hooking plastic on 16 and headhunting on 15. BTW, I ended up shooting 220 on that pair, which was high for the pair that squad (second was 208), earning me $100 (our squad has pots).
Another bit of advice I'd offer is to keep a close eye on the people bowling on the pair next to you, so you can read the pair to some extent before bowling on it.
You are not allowed to take your bowling bag into the tournament area. You may take in an accessory case/pouch, if you so desire. You are also not allowed any food or drink in the tournament area. You are given a short (roughly 15 minutes) break after the third game, during which you may grab a quick drink or take a bathroom break, or whatever. There is another such break after the sixth game. They will also announce the squad leaders during these breaks, so you will have an idea where you stand.
One more thing. You get no practice on the lanes before starting. If you have time, and there are lanes (outside the Petersen section) available, get one and throw a practice game or share one with someone else, just to get loose. If you are only bringing the two balls, you may not be able to do this, because once you check in your two balls, they are sent in to the tournament lanes by way of a shopping cart and the ball returns, and you won't see them again until you are ready to start tournament play.
As I mentioned to TP, I'll be stopping by Hoffman Lanes for the start of your squad to say hello to all of you BR folks.
Good luck!
