Sorry, you'll be there a week too early for us.  But good luck to you and your team, and we're expecting a full report when you get back!

No, it actually started on July 31.  I think there have been three full weekends of competition already.

If you haven't seen the standings page yet, it's at http://www.renolaketahoe.com/bowl/tourn/nationalmixed/results.php .

So you gonna be at league tonight?

My wife and I are going. We just aren't sure exactly when. I think it won't be until the last weekend, which is October 23-26. We are hoping to bowl on the 23rd and 24th.

We don't have team mates. If anyone will be there at that time and wish to bowl with a couple of real amateurs, let me know.

Gravy, several of my friends are/were placed in the top 3 in different events. (Mixed doubles, team and men's singles.)

They describe the shot as being fairly dry. I was recommended to take my Battle Zone Bullet, along with my Inferno and plastic. (The guy knows my game and arsenal.)

I need to go back to the results page for the tournament and refresh my memory. I do remember that one couple, currently 4th or 5th, both play right up the third arrow. The gal throws plastic. She is 2nd in WIBC handicap, I believe. Her husband throws a small swing shot. Might go up the third arrow and out a few boards.

One guy, who was 3rd handicap ABC but since dropped a little, stands about 25, out to 10 and usually strikes. He usually throws a Fuel or a Ti Messenger Pearl BSP.

Trios WIBC team were all pretty much up the 10 board. All were using reactive resin balls.

Most everyone said that aggressive balls were too much. Several bought the Storm Power Charge to use while they were there.

If you need more specific information, I can talk to most of the people that have been there as most are in my Monday night league.
