The PBA tour trials in Merilleville to determine the final 8 exempt spots for the 2004-2005 season are just around the corner.  Anyone beside me excited about watching the leader board change over the course of 5 days and 45 games?  Is there anyone who will be trying their luck?  (If so, good luck!)

Maybe we should have a friendly competition to see which one of us predicts the most bowlers who end up winning exemptions.  Pick 8 bowlers before the start of competition ... whoever gets the most of their 8 picks right becomes the "BR Crystal Ball Master"

I'd love to see Kelly make the exempt tour, but the chances of one of the three gals finishing in the top 8 are slim.  The guys have the advantage of having played on the conditions all year long, and sometimes you just have to overpower the condition, which is where the guys gain the advantage.

ak57, I've searched everywhere online for a reference to Jefferson, snowball's chance, and Philadelphia, without success.  I'll take your word for it, but could you give me a reference to the original quote?

Sorry, no women- they lack the experience bowling on the PBA patterns.
