First off I want to say that I loved watching it. I loved the team aspect and I really enjoyed getting to see bowlers that aren't making it to tv every week.

Will they re-draft before next year? The way Rash talked it seemed that teams would remain the same.

Is there anything you would do to change it?

While I also do not want to dump singles and step ladder finals for an all team set of shows, I have learned to enjoy the team television shows. I think it's because I have some favorites and some bowlers I don't care for.

A couple of things that got my attention in this:
- why did WRW always seem to throw the ball so slowly, relatively speaking?
- why did Duke always seem to play the outside line, when some other changed from time to time as patterns changed? Yes, he has had a lot of success doing that, but he is also known for his adaptability.
- What happened to Tommy Jones in this last show? I was shocked.
- Shame about Rhino's wrist. Sad to see him bowling while, he was supposedly in so much pain. This shows "macho" isn't dead and doesn't just apply to use amateurs. He could have done very serious and permanent damage to his wrist.
- I was surprised at how some great bowlers did so badly in this team concept (Admittedly, many rarely bowl team any more. Duke and Jones.) and some not so great bowled very well through out (Jurek). Weber, Scroggins and Barnes again were dead on throughout the competition.
- I think Ciminelli executed great and couldn't seem to carry. Wonder if its seemingly too high speed?

Was this the first show that Billie Jean King showed up for?  I did not see all the shows but on a couple of the ones I did, she was absent.

I also gained some respect for TO and how much he embraced all of this.

I think there is room for both Singles and Team in the PBA. I think what the PBA has to do is separate them though. Show a singles show one week, then a team show the next week, and so on. This will spread out the season on TV and would allow everyone to get what they want within a 2 week window. If the PBA sees a dramatic difference in ratings between the shows, it can then move to showing more of whatever is drawing more viewers and less of what is not. I personally like what I saw of the team bowling this year. You saw some of the pro's embrace it, like PDW and some not so much. A good dynamic and a good way to get something on TV that more casual fans are used to in their league bowling.

That is a good idea, Jorge.  I am curious, what bowlers do you think didn't embrace it?  WRW?  That cat doesn't embrace anything.  That's the only one I can think of.

Monster,
    That is a good idea as well. It might be possible to do a "season" of singles tournaments and then a "season" of team events. That might work out even better as you can have the WSOB and the few live tournaments up front, then do a taping of the team tournaments at a second location at one point and have the shows ready to run. Then do a Live finals of the team event so no one knows who wins. The alternating weeks idea was just a thought to showcase both types of bowling throughout the season.
 
LGD, I can't say for sure on anyone. But yes, WRW, Duke, and a few others didn't seem as into it as say PDW. It just may be there personalities didn't shine through in what we saw. Both of those players personalities are not usually "on" from the first ball. Duke gets fired up as the game(s) get going, same with WRW. Guys like PDW are "on" the minute they step into the center, so it comes across more when they only have 2 frames on the lanes.
 
I agree I would like to see more regional players particitpate as well. Maybe get the high point winner in each region automatically on a team....or top 2 if needed to fill out all the teams. I would also like to see a rule where the teams should have to change out players after each game. For example, you have a roster of 7-8 players, and every game can only have 3 of the same players from the games before. That way everyone gets involved, and it throws some strategy into the mix....maybe you sit one of your better players the first game so you have them available for the title match, etc. Just ideas to help expand on the team concept which seems to be a winner for the PBA at the moment, yours may differ and may be better, lol.
