Kenny, I can see where Russell is coming from...I am assuming he's talking about Sterner..
Mike gets a spot in match play, just for being in the building at the time of Pete's withdrawal. Edwards is 36th after the casher's round.. No other bowler between him and 24th place after that round stayed around for the chance of being an alternate.
By Edwards getting into match play, he'll get the points for whatever position he finishes in. 24th place points would be enough to jump Jason Sterner and Todd Book in the points race.. Jason was the cut line if the season ended without Richie Wolfe or Monacelli winning tomorrow.
I believe this happened with Billy Oatman last year or the year before when a bowler's withdrawing bumped him a few spots in the standing thus allowing him to sneak into the points cut line..
I'm not going to play the conspiracy card, but I can see where this is going to be an issue. If you're hurt you're hurt simply put, but the irony of Mike and Pete being friends and this happening is just strange.
really sucks for Jason in the end..
