Where are the scratch bowlers in MD/DC/VA?
« on: October 10, 2007, 03:55:41 AM »
It boggles my mind when I look at the Greater Baltimore yearbook and see 60 names on the high average page with the last name showing 222. I know the Capital Assn is no different.

So why aren't more high average bowlers out competing against one another?

I think Brizmo has a good point about the rallying behind friends. I bowl sort of "cross area" so to speak so I'm around the "Cap Crew" and the B'more Crew and I see that for the most part people travel in packs. We go to ERT, Dutchman, Williamsburg, etc in groups. The group gets larger and larger not necessarily just because people want to bowl but also because particular people are going so their friends come along too. The few times I've talked to some of the "Cap Crew" about local events, I can distinctly remember some of them saying "I'll be there if [insert friend's name here] decides to come. We roll together."

Even with Triple Threat events, I think its the same. Some folks from a particular Baltimore league patronize the event and others just follow.

Big Daddy's becomes a, "[Insert name here] is going and we can ride together so I'll go too.]

    Steve,

    So you want to join the chitlin circuit? LMAO!

    The Rhodman and Bacardi (now DeWar's) are TNBA events. You can check them out at www.tnbainc.org

    Some old person would be cussing me out right now for sharing that tournament info with you. If they could see the computer screen, they would probably be revoking my "card" as I type this messsage...

    Visit www.gwbs-tnba.org for assistance in obtaining a TNBA sanction. You might need to sanction your league but that's $3.50. And then $15 for yourself.

    Scroll down on the left, click "Forms Download" and in the middle column you'll see links for league sanction form and individual sanctioning.

    TNBA events are typically on house conditions but there is side action for days. For the bracket players, great tournaments to hit because you can play the kind of numbers we never see at local tournaments.

    Man did you miss some good tournaments if you were home. For those that like to strike, Triangle 66's Bowl America Manassas (Manassas, VA) held their 23rd Annual Holiday Classic. The 67 man field bowled 10 games before crowing Brian Cavey (+435) the champ. 30 pins separated 3rd and 11th as it took +300 to cash.

    Then Sunday, Triple Threat held their 4th Annual Open Classic at Greenway Bowl (Odenton, MD). Greenway put out the PBA Shark pattern for the 63 guys and 1 gal who competed. It took +15 for a check and +104 to make the finals for 6 games. In the opening matches, Chuoenn To beat Eddie Givens while Anthony Chapman beat Derek Petty. Anthony went onto beat To in the championship match.
