Notes from the PBA WC!
« on: March 16, 2004, 10:34:58 PM »
Qualifying 3/17:
Saw the end of first shift and beginning of second shift.......first things first..... 25 at the arrows to about 10-12 at the break was VERY common to see!
Except for Mike DeVaney, who was at 30-32 to 5 with a Boost !! Rippin' the Rack! WOW!

Lane changes after each game 'usually' meant different lines and balls...kinda fun to watch. Some lanes were really screamin' some were holding up pretty well.

Before second shift , squad A, started, I'm watching people wrap up and all the sudden Randy Pederson is standing next to me talking w/ someone and watching someone finish,...2 minutes later, it's Tommy DeLutz Jr, watching the same pair finish and looking at the standings board....well after about 5 minutes, I figured, what the hell........."so, what ball is tearin' it up for you Tommy?" He says, " well, one of my round ones I hope ! "  I cracked up......we chatted / small talked for a moment and he had to go get ready, ....said he had to go, "nice talking to you"...and left....NICE GUY !!  Like the guy who lives next door...

Others..........the Traber bros. are huge ! No offense, but they are, saw them talking to one another before their set, standing next to eachother...big boys!........Saw Jason Couch, kinda walking around the place like he owned it (MY opinion!)..Parker Bohn chit chatting w/ everyone, Steve Jaros chatting it up with people....

All in all, a "woulnd't miss it" kind of afternoon.........let's face it, when you get a chance to see the best of ANYTHING in the world, it's great !

Are the lanes re oiled between squads?
There is a huge disparity in scores at the WC,
almost 1000 pins between top and bottom!

No, first squad gets fresh, second doesn't, third does...........and all each get each condition thru out qualifying.......

scores? Because a bunch of locals show up who have cards and kill house shots and they're there to have an experience.........my opinion.......

$8 to get in to qualifying during the day, $10 at night.  Sounds steep but it's like watching league but only there's bleachers behind in the setee area. Between games and sets, some will chat with you too....it's really pretty cool.

Qualifying on Saturday can get expensive....all day pass is like $40 I think..

I thought it was one ticket for everything on Saturday. The price ranges were from like 11.40- 32.00 or something like that depending on what section you pick to sit in.

Maybe that's it Ken, just haven't paid attention to it......Trust me, I'll report out if I go back.  MrsRevs is home with a Migraine....might be able to go see Squad B at 530 ?!?!

I'm considering coming up Friday if My buddy Jim Hilligis (b squad) is still hanging in there. He told me he could hook me up with a free pass, so I might make the drive. He's been bowling really well so far.
