Pretty amazing..........

Not that the seedings in the round of 32 amount to a hill of beans, (because when you are bowling "heads up", anything can happen) but every higher seed won their match against the lower seed.

I can't remember that happening in recent memory.  Not a single upset!!!  Well, at least according to the seedings.

I'd prefer to go back to the round-robin match play.  You make the cut, you bowl 24 games.  None of this maybe-you-only-bowl-four games stuff.  That was one reason why they dropped the match play round of 64: Someone on a bad run might only bowl 16 games of competition in a month.  How can you reasonably compete with guys bowling twice as many games each week?  Plus, WRW was getting his butt stomped by the amateurs.

But match play from 32 on is alright.  It'd be better if they televised it, or at least brought back the Strikepass.  And the wildcard match on TV (not that I mind the Skillz Challenge, but there's way too much filler).
