Well I am not sure what anyone defines as sport shot but all I know is for us from Maryland, we considered it a wall. As far as a true sport shot I would politely disagree. I mean I went on to start with a brilliant game of 180. After my guy Billy told me it was a wall I went 211, 280, 300, 243. They did break down but if you had a brain and were able to throw it on the right side of the lane you had about a 93% chance to strike. They switched the finals format to a stepladder.
