For those of you that have already bowled this what did you see?  I see the scores are pretty low and from the surface to the pattern I can see a lot of hook?  Has anyone been yet?

 Most states allow you to bowl, if you pay the sanctioning fees.  Indiana is also like that, just gotta read the rules.  We basically like to travel to bowl for mini vacations.   Our teams are never to go, just like the change of scenery.

That's interesting.  Michigan allows bowlers from other State associations to bowl in their State tourney?  axewelder do you purchase a State sanction to bowl in it?

 

"I bowled D and S again today and they were not even close to what they were when I bowled before."

 

How do you bowl Minor events more than once?  This is allowed in this State tourney?  Weird.

You can bowl each event twice but your first 3 games count for your all event score.

Out of curiosity, I wonder where state tournament will be held in 2012? Don't know what the rotation is anymore since I've been out of the loop since Grand Rapids in 2006.

I could not disagree more with this.  It sounds like the shot has been pretty brutal.  But for the sake of integrity, the pattern should stay the same from the first day of the tournament to the last.

Wouldn't surprise me if they altered the pattern. Things gave been terrible up there the first few months of the tourney. Glad they are trying something different....unfortunate for those who went early.

I guess my bigger concern is the overall health of the tournament. Yes, it is unfair for the guys who went early but I think if they were to tweak the shot at least not everyone would be upset. I don't want to see the conditions I bowlers on drive people away from doing this tournament in the future.

Anyhow, patterns change on their own. I bowled in late January. Very cold and lots of snow outside. Guys that bowl in May when it cracks 70 degrees will see something that plays completely different.
