Is there a place that a tournament director can look up to find bowlers 'tournament averages'?

I continue to hear people in my town complain about some people who they say are baggers.  A husband and wife have been bowling for several years and they bowl 3 or 4 nights a week and bowl on the weekends.  They both have numerous balls and seem to know what they are doing with a bowling ball.  However, the guys average has gone down every year for the past 3 year and he's booking about 180 on an easy house shot.  She books around 150 to 160.  He's had the front 11 before and can pop off some big games.  Just last night he had the first 6 or 7 before missing and shooting 267 the first game.  I don't thing he shot 170 the next two games.  I was told that his wife shot a 730 a few weeks ago.

The wife bowls doubles with another girl who is also accused of being a bagger.  I don't know these people very well nor does it affect me one way or the other but the bagging question is always brought up when someone talks about these people.

Now my question:  When these people go to tournaments and are asked about reporting winning, what if they are not honest?  If people are baggers, do you really think they'd be honest about reporting their earning?  NO!
Does the ABC have a Data base where a tournament director could pull up their info and see that they average 210 in tournaments but book 160?

I can't help it, Hot Chicks Dig the Hose

Hose--It sounds like this local bagger couple can't shoot spares if they can pop off big games on a THS doesn't mean much and then miss spare after spare.  

What kind of tournaments do they enter?  In my area people that are known baggers are always rerated before they bowl.  If they don't like it tuff luck don't bowl.  I've seen this a number of times over the past few years.

Also as you know Hose just cuz players bring multiple balls sure doesn't mean they know anything about using them on the correct condition.  

To answer your question from what I know an ABC/WIBC sancitoned tournament must file a document with the ABC/WIBC giving them the prize list and scores shot along with honor scores.  

If that information is available to all tournament directors I do not know but it should be.

I have been a party to a re-rating.

They had started a tournament here and were guaranteeing $5000 first place for the team event. My little weenie scratch team bowled in it and shot huge for us around 3450 scratch and about 3500 handicap. We beat all the other teams entered by over a hundred pins except for one team that ended up beating us by close to 200 sticks with 300 pins handicap.

We didn’t think anything about it but after the tournament the tournament director re-rated the other team. Seems they leaved in a town near the border with another state. Their averages in Kansas were used but their other state averages were about 20 pins a man higher.

After the re-rating we ended up winning and they were second.

Sad ending though, the tournament died after about 3 years. But at least they tried to run a clean tournament.
