and sorry to get off topic.. but the shootout is just ok for me too. I like watching the guys bowl , and talk trash, and get interrupted right when they are about to bowl.. but there is just something missing in it for me. Maybe I never saw what they are bowling for or what the whole thing is about. Just seems like a bunch of matches thrown together that don't mean much.. I think I would rather see some sort of big money skins competition or something like that. The baker style is a nice change but it loses my interest after a game or so.. It makes the guys that throw horrible shots look bad in that they only have 2 shots a game.. and the guys that make a good shot doesn't have that big of an impact cause that is what they are supposed to do. During the normal year when a bowling strings a great 10 frames together or battles back after struggling that is what I like about the regular season.
also .. not sure what I think about the endless 10th frame..
sorry about the rambling .. just throwing out random thoughts..

Six Flags Shootout is boring
I know THAT'S right. If I want to watch a few goofballs clowning around and having fun while bowling, I'll go to the local center on glow-bowl night.
It doesn't even feel like a real competition.
P.S. AND, who the heck bowls OUSIDE? Maybe the N.B.A. would be interested in an outdoor game down at the municipal courts?

Could have added a new major or two for the same money in prize funds.

I don't like that two of the teams are wearing practically the same jerseys. Somebody should've flipped a coin between Lumber Liquidators and Bayer to decide yellow versus some other color.
Oh, and speaking of jerseys - I am really getting sick of bowlers looking like NASCAR drivers. Fagan is the worst! Yeah, I know that it helps the bowlers make some extra cash, but it's still an eyesore to see corporate logos all over a shirt.
And speaking of Lumber Liquidators - thank heavens they finally filmed some new commercials! I couldn't take seeing another season of that same guy in front of the original Lumber Liquidators store. It became worse than seeing Walter Ray "leave it open" ad nauseum!

Anytime bowlers try to be cool it is a disaster.
You are so right about that. Face it , bowling is a nerd sport. Golf is a nerd sport. Cycling however riding 2500 miles in 3 weeks with 1000 of those miles up in the Pyrenees Mountains is VERY COOL! Tennis is a bad arse sport for those in prime shape. Running is a sport for those in prime shape. Power Lifting is for the strongest.
Bowling is for the nerds and none of those guys are cool at all...sorry...
Yes, I am a BIG nerd thank you!

Seriously. The tourney he won last year for he qualifed for through the TQR. AND it was one of those ridiculous tourneys with a different shot on each lane. Im sorry that takes some serious skill, no matter how many hands you use.

I enjoyed seeing different bowler's styles one right after another. I did watch all the preliminary rounds. I was looking forward to the finals which I thought might be more exciting. However my brain says it wasn't all that great - I fell asleep about half way through the finals - it was kind of like watching guys take their practice shots before the match starts, interesting for awhile, but too much of the same thing. There was a lack of intensity by the players which was contagious
I think if they had 4 man teams and if each bowler had 3 shots in a row and the last bowler has the 10th it might be a little more exciting. If they get their 3 then that is pretty huge.. and then if the next guy starts out with a strike, it is a big increase on the score.. but since it is there first shot their is some drama as to if the shot will be good or bad.. but then they have the 2 others to adjust and make up for it..I think it would showcase more of their skill and ability to adjust or not adjust if the first ball is bad.. the way it was it was like .. ok these guys are supposed to strike.. but they are waiting 10 or 15 mins to throw one shot so I can't get on them that bad for not striking. Like you said.. it was like watching them throw warm ups.
