Bowlers

Just wanted to let you know, VMSBT will be running the 2nd Annual Baltimore/Washington Summer Scratch Classic again at BRC Perry Lanes August 15-16, 2009 paying $3,000 1st place GUARANTEED.  Last year we had 139 entries and we expect that number to increase this year. Just like last year, I will be taking reservations via the website: http://www.vmsbt.com/VMSBT_Form.html and you can also view the flyer for the event there as well: http://www.vmsbt.com/BWSSC_2009.pdf

I will also have the pattern up on the website as soon as I determine which pattern I want to use. As some of you may know, I’m a big fan of Kegel patterns and we will have another one this year.

•   Entry fee:  $140 ($115 prize fund, $20 lineage, $5 expenses) payable by CASH ONLY
•   Survival boards: $10/ea (Starting games 2, 4 and 6)

•   High Game of Day (Included in entry fee)
•   High Senior out of the money prize (50 and over bowlers)
•   High Female out of the money prize

THE LANES WILL BE STRIPPED AND RE-OILED AFTER THE 9AM SQUAD.

Please pass the word along about this great event to all your friends. We are only taking 88 bowlers per squad.

Looking forward to getting those reservations.

I'll reserve the tougher sport patterns for the monthly VMSBTs. One thing I've learned from bowling in various events is that if you make them too tough, you will kill it. I too don't mind a grind out but bowlers like us are in the minority. ..... This year's pattern will be fair and hopefully the scores won't be too high but still VERY VERY playable.

Last year it took plus 184 to make match-play (20th) and plus 154 for a check (27th). I would like to see both numbers lowered by 50 pins. My main goal is to keep 'em fair. Both sides play from the same angle.

LOL... Last year, the 4:30pm squads' back ends weren't as clean as what you guys had on the 9am squad. So when the head mechanic text me with how they played, I told him that the back ends weren't as clean as the first squad. That is why they were so SQUEAKY clean Sunday morning. You guys on the right had way too much friction on the GUTTER. They actually over hooked and it forced you guys too far left. Hahn wised up after 4 games and shelled down and moved back right to get back and finish 5th. That's all Lint and Mullin did on the left was shell down and stay left. Mullin threw a Tornado all day out there.

Yeah definitely more friction at the ditch on sunday.  Knew something had to be different because I didn't drop any positions after the 2nd squad.  It happens though, luckily it wasn't that way Saturday and the lefties let me make a lil money lol.  Oh well, we will see how it is on the 4th.
