I've got mixed feelings about this one. This one's obviously for the fans and the ratings.

However - if the shot is an outside soft shot, there's no woman who would do better.

Mumzie, the pattern for Dallas is C and that pattern rarely plays right of 10-12, especially in that center. Last year i dont think we ever got right of 20 during the qualifying rounds on C

As far as Carolyn getting the exemption, i am very happy for her. We have become close friends over the years and i am glad to see her get this opportunity.

However, I'd hazard a guess that CDB knows every board on every pair at DC West and that between now and the event she will have a real good idea of how Pattern C is likely to play on every pair

Any guesses on what pattern gets put out by Jim for the Big Mama event in a few weeks

I don’t know where she will be able to play the lanes.

No knock on Carolyn but because of her lower rev rate and lack of hitting up on the ball, I believe she will be able to play outside much longer than most of the guys ever could.

I saw her do this during a regional held in town and she has had success at the ABC masters as well.

Only time will tell.
