Wow...can we dumb the game down anymore?

Do we have to explain NASCAR too...go fast, turn left...

Exactly and I highly doubt that "not being able to understand the scoring" is the problem with bowling.

Stick a fork in it boys........................................


 I've put up with a lot of stupid crap in bowling in my 33 years in the game. They've changed it from a sport, to a game, to nothing more than a da*n recreational activity.

 If they want to appeal to the "younger, hipper" generation, then I am going to just GTF out of the way and let them have it.

 Once all us old guys are gone, there won't be enough "younger, hipper" guys that give a crap about bowling to keep it alive anyway.

 Go ahead, change the scoring. Youve  changed everything else already, might as well screw that up too.

Wow, pretty freakin' dumb if you ask me. Even the leaders of the WBT and PBA put little emphasis on spares. Strike more than the other guy and win!

I read the article...
I think this is the dumbest idea I've ever heard of...

I didn't read the article, and I think it's the dumbest idea I've heard.

With all due respect, even the Petraglia scoring system was a bugger to understand, and even worse to explain to people looking at the sport. In this case, KISS worked better, and still works to this day. Nothing wrong with how the scoring system is now.

BL.

This is so stupid. So they are also referring bowling to golf.  Too bad the money isn't in bowling but is in golf.  Some people say that watching golf is like watching grass grow but there's still money there

So no more PBA averages?
