, I was afraid they might not come back to DFW for awhile. I was going to drive to Tulsa or Denver but changed my mind but I did go to the Motel 6 Challenge after missing it in my hometown last time around and went to the one in Lewisville and was a blast. Irving AMF is an interesting choice for a PBA tournament. I would of thought the Forum in Grand Prarie or City View Don Carter in Fort Worth would be a better choice. In my opinion, this house in Irving is tougher then most any other AMF and other houses in Dallas/Fort Worth in general. It will be interesting to see players play deep on Pattern B. I wouldn't be suprised to see some bowlers attempt a hard right and in shot, and I think scores will be lower then most would think.
I made my prediction who will win the tournament before the season when we all made all kinds of predictions even though most of mine have been wrong, I still stand by it.
The show will be:
Danny Wiseman
Tommy Jones
Jeff Carter
Tommy Delutz
Danny Wiseman is the winner.

Dino bowled very consistant again and DJ Archer also made it. Thats 2 guys from the DFW area made it thru to the round of 64..
Jay Ashbaugh from the Austin area was also the top amatuer.. Way to go guys and good luck tomorrow..
I had the chance to talk to Wiseman, Couch, Delutz JR, Wes and a few others and they where all very accessable and friendly to everyone.. I did see WRW walking around but he just didn't seem to be as friendly as the other guys..

Just got back from watching the ptq, man it looked tough out there.. Only 16 out of 92 where + pins and for you guys picking a lefty to win, guess again. They had a tougher time than the rightys..

Cool. How were they playing the lanes at this house from start to finish?Cool you met Wiseman, he's my pick to win this tournament. Can't wait to watch tomorrow!
Post by: BrianCRX90 on February 08, 2007, 09:58:08 PM
Scores were low as I predicted, way more then I predicted. I thought first would hold around a 220 but I thought 32nd would be around a 207.
The house is hard and with that shot made rections guessworking. With the characteristics of the lanes that tend to play ok outside, I saw just that. There were several players standing right and getting a hard roll on the ball up the first-second arrow directly to the pocket. Most were standing around 30 out to 13. On this line if you got it past 10 it was gone. In fact, I had never seen so many washouts before. After 2-3 only the pattern got ugly and players that were already playing inside were forced to stand deep to extreme deep. There was some good reactions around 5th arrow. Lefthanders didn't have much of an advantage or righhanders.
I also saw alot of missed spares. Not the the many corner pins missed but saw a few inside single pin spares missed including a 6 pin missed by David Traber and a 9 pin missed by a mile by Billy Oatman. There were alot of splits like big fours and other nice designs. Lots of light/weak pocket splits. One of the most interesting leaves I think I ever seen came from Round 1 when Chris Collins who was struggling and one of the ones that was attempting the "stand right, rev it hard from outside line" had a 2 count on one ball. He hit the 6 and the 9 pin and that was it! Rash nearly cracked up about it and Collins was pretty ticked off which is pretty normal for him.
I doubt there was any 300 games for a 230 was nearly as good as that today. Vandinker came very close and got front 10 for a 289.
Local favorites Chris Barnes was getting some cheers and looked good and even more impressive was Del Ballard who was getting alot of support from the crowd and bowled well and very consistant. Eugene McCune who was on the same pair was impressive with his outside line ball that was working well. I swear I think he throws the most powerful ball out there, even mor then T.Jones (who also bowled great). One funny thing was McCune was going back and forth between outside and hard line and deep inside and cranking with slower speed. He got 3 brooklyn strikes in a row on one game, that was funny.Chris Loschetter, O'Neill, Mike Machuga looked well.
My predictions didn't favor too well. Wiseman never got anything going all day, alot of over under, alot of splits. I thought he could come out firing in round 2 but never did. Who did make the round of 32 from my 4 picks was Delutz and Jones. Carter looked good at times and had a chance but didn't do so hot in round 2.
That's it for now, can't wait for match play tomorrow!

What Brian said about lane conditions. Unusual to see Brian Kretzer laying it down on the left edge, targeting 5th arrow with a big arc to the pocket and on the adjacent lane Michael Haugen was piping it off the right corner hard to the hole. Both shot in the 230's.
Bill O'Neill was impressive. Mike Devaney throws a bomb. Parker Bohn was very consistent.
Steve Jaros looked like he had a good look, he was throwing a small belly over about the 9th board. Voss was standing in front of the ball return and throwing over the gutter cap in the last game.
Billy Oatman, a left hander, was drifting right and piping a low rev ball to the right pocket (his brooklyn) off the right corner. I couldn't figure that out.
Carolyn Dorin-Ballard, who was watching Del, is better looking in person than on TV. Del Ballard had a pretty good night.
The Traber brothers are competing to see who can be the fattest on tour.
Hardly any big scores all night. Chris Barnes picked consecutively a 4-7-9 and 5-7. Wish I could go to match play.

Oh ya, I can't wait. I've been every year in Dallas since 2000 when I got to see final round robin match play and got hooked after that. In 2002 I went to the match play and the tv show where Ritchie Allen won his first title. Then in 2003,2004 and 2005 I started going to the qualifying and the match play. The tv show isn't that great to me. But since I was disappointed when the scedule came out they didn't come to Dallas as the center changed management
Irving AMF is an interesting choice for a PBA tournament. I would of thought the Forum in Grand Prarie or City View Don Carter in Fort Worth would be a better choice.

Yeah Brian...I think your right....I use to live a couple of blocks from that AMF Irving house....I didnt bowl league there, but I practiced there a lot since it was so close.....it was always a challenging shot for me...Scores should be a little lower than usual....too bad i moved backed to Houston...I Would have loved to walk over to see the qualifying matches....Oh well, you guys have fun....I`ll be watching Sunday.

I tried a similar line as Oatman in state tournament a few years ago and had a lot of success with it. That's the line I will always try to play on a reverse block condition.
As for the Dorin's, they look like they each go though a can or two of hairspray every time they're on TV. That must be an East Coast thing because I never see the big, styled hair out west.
