going into the last game Chris Loschetter, Brian Kretzer, Dino Castillo, Rudy Kasimakis, Tom Daugherty, and D.J. Archer had guaranteed themselves a spot in the top ten with points.
Going into the last game
7) Chris Collins Plus 746
8)Byron Smith Plus 724
9)Andres Gomez Plus 718
10) Bill O'Neill Plus 706
11) Bob Learn Jr. Plus 700
12) Richie Allen Plus 698
13) Randy Petersen plus 645
Randy Petersen basically needed to throw 300 to qualify, he threw 265 the game before that so I thought Randy could do it he went front four then left ten pin, four pin, ten pin...and he was done...good job Randy
Well Richie Allen, Andres Gomez came out on fire...both going into the eight frame had 280 and 279 going respectively. Byron Smith going into the tenth had 246 if he struck out and Bill O Neill had a nice string going and then he hit I think it was a 2-4-5. Chris Collins qualified rather easily with I think a 775 but he was kinda shakey
Here's where things get interesting.
Byron Smith goes 4-10 in the first ball in the tenth CONVERTS the split and strikes to go 216 for 744 total.
Richie Allen goes 258 and Andres Gomez goes 246 so they have locked themselves spots in the top ten.
Bill O'Neill needs to go 7 spare strike to finish tenth...dead flush in the pocket strike...bill o neill finished in tenth place with 755.
Brian Kretzer, Chris Lochetter, and Byron Smith even though he didn't qualified all bowled amazing today. Congrats to the guys who made it, and it was awesome meeting some other ball reviews guys as well. I had a great time here and highly encourage everyone next year to come see it. Mo the guy of Morich does look like a mad scientist but he really does care about his equipment and his guys. Happy Bowling everyone.
Paul

what does the pba have to prepare itself for ? do you honestly think that tommy jones, chris barnes, mika, patrick allen, walter ray willimas, jr., brian voss, norm duke, etc. are worried about who made the exempt list ?
And 4 years ago, could you even name mika koivunemi?

these are all good players but mika is a level above them in my book.

I still contend the best bowler not to make it was ken simard...he's so smooth and tears the cover off of it...wow

I wasn't talking about about hot heads just overall game. Too hot and then not for someone who has been slinging it for a few years on tour conditions. Nice guy, really good physical game but just never saw the mental side jump up to the physical game level. Hope he goes back to the Southern region and re-tools and wins a spot for next year. He reminds me of another southern guy who did the tour for some time and who i believe works for Kegel now, Norm Titus.

hmmm heard dino castillo was catching breaks throughout the week like nothing, i'm talking about 2-3 breaks PER GAME, heard this from one of the guys that just came back from the trial who unfortunately had to pull out on the fourth day.. anybody else see this?
I know this is a late reply...but anyway...I was there on the second day...he was paired with Eugene McCune and Brian Kretzer...and was carrying brooklyn left and right...along with plenty of trip 4's...while McCune and Kretzer didn't seem to catch a break...but that was only one day
