Well, I wish they would go back to the rabbit squad like the old days.  Take the guys who were up in points entered directly into the tournament(not automatic cash) and have the others try to get thru the rabbits.  I'm trying to remember what the field was back in the day.  I think it was 120.  Still bowl your qualifying round.  Then, exactly what they did.  Take the top 24 and do 23 games of round robin and the last game for position.  1 out of 3 cash which would only give 40 cash spots instead of the current 64 and the money would be better too.  You bowl a lot more games than the current format on tour and really, does allow for more bowlers to bowl.  These "best out of" matches doesn't give the bowlers who bowled best during qualifying a fair shake.  I know the #1 seed having to bowl the #32 seed have lost their matches a lot more.  It's like penalizing the bowler for bowling well in qualifying to have them start from scratch again come these seed "matches".  I was glad how they did the tournament this week.  If you noticed, most of the bowlers who were in the top say 8 going into match play, pretty much stayed there.
