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.]
