only 40 spots for an exemption with this? Look at who so far could be off the tour cause they had one bad year. 4 Bowlers on tv? This is boring. Make it 80 spots, top 50 for exempt players and the rest filled with Tour Trials, Regional point winners and PTQ spots. Cut the field from 80 to 40 from qualifying to match play. 40 goes to 20, 20 goes to 10, top 5 in match play record goes to tv in a STEPLADDER format.
We would have more spots which everyone wants and we have 5 bowlers on tv which everyone wants. So do it cause this 64 man bracket with a whopping 40 man exempt field and a boring telecast of only 4 bowlers stinks!
