I understand the cost saving move, but I'm sure that the results of the pre-taped events will be splashed all over this website before the events are televised.
It takes all the fun out of watching if you know who won in advance. (Hint to whoever manages the PBA's Xtra Frame site...don't put who won the tournament in the link!)

Obviously those must not be much of the operating budget.
And I wouldn't want to be bowling well, lead a major and then have to wait 3 to 4 months to bowl the TV final.

Just wondering, why Detroit? I know that Taylor Lanes and Thunderbird are very respected centers, but isn't Detroit one of if not the most effected area's of the United States due to the economy? I can understand the reasoning, but I think a better location should have been implemented.

Detroit has more bowlers per capita than any other city and had the largest USBC membership numbers last time I looked, by a pretty well-sized gap.

Maybe because Detroit has the largest membership in the USBC. Therefore making it a great spot, at least as far as bowling goes.

Good point. They do have the most USBC members per organization.

There is so many bowling alleys in the detroit metro area they are basically stacked on top of each other. I am sure everyone will get to bowl some were and I sure some poeple will make a big deal and B!$@H about it, such is life.
On another note im sure the 2009 masters champion John Nolen is happy about this. Its like 30 minutes from his house.

Or maybe he won't, because maybe one reason he wanted to join the PBA was to get out and see the country?
Also to be fair, Taylor and Allen Park are more like 45 minutes south of his home. --------------------

The South 24 of Thunderbowl is known as the arena. Until just a few years ago it had standium-style seating that could accomodate probably 5000 people. I haven't been in there for a while, but someone told me that they ripped out the seating and put in a nightclub. It was great for watchiing the All-Stars, scratch leagues (Men on Tuesday, women on Wednesday) that enticed the best bowlers in the area to show their skills.
