I totally agree with making it tougher, I feel if the average bowler sees scores on mid 700 to low 700 as top scores, they might think that will have a shot at it. If they continue to see 850's and 840's, the tournament entries will continue to drop off. Make it tougher, but playable, USBC is designing 3 new oil patterns, red, white, and blue. Maybe one of them should be used. Since a number of the centers don't have he latest and greatest in oil machines. Next year, I know that Hanover Bowling Center bought 2 new ion machines, but Lincolnway still has an old sanction machine.
