I know this was sort of started on another topic but here it goes....Hopefully someone can answer these questions?

Okay someone Bowls League, gets 200+ Ave and aquires "The Card" (Their little toe is in the door).

Now Regional Level?

How Many tournaments will a person go to a year?
On Average - How long is a Tournament?
How much does it cost to enter a Tournament?
How much traveling is involved going to all these tournaments (Planes/Trains/Automobiles)?
How much practice time a day is involved to be contender or the best?
What place does a person have to be to break even in money after competing in a years worth of tournaments? (Paying for travel, eating, lodging, equipment)

I don't know if these are the right questions to ask, but it seems to me it takes alot of time, dedication, and money to bowl at this level.

--------------------
Just try'n to keep it on the O LINE!

I will try to answer some of your questions and I'm sure more will chime in.
Tournaments are held on weekends.
Cost for members is $195.00 ($250.00 FOR NON MEMBERS)
There is a tournament just about every weedend in one area or the other.
Travel time is depending on what tournament you choose, a lot of the guys limit them selfs to 4 hrs one way.
You should plan on at least 10 games a day 5 days a week plus weedend bowling.
Cost are dependant on your lifestyle so I won't try to answer this one.
