You know that Machuga and Wolf rarely miss spares.
Something was rotten in Denmark, yet again.
I think they've got to start using the lanes in the house where they bowl
so that the winner should be a person who bowled well there.
Using special lanes for the telecast is FUBAR!!
Machuga put every ball in the pocket in the final match and lost.
It shouldn't be that way. It's wrong when the best execution loses.

it's not the tougher oil pattern. it's a lack of focus and concentration.
Greg,
Everyone of them? Horse manure!!!
Wolf and Machuga don't make those kind of mistakes even on TV.
What would make you say something like that?

Saying its the "unknown lanes" is stretching it pretty far, dont you think? I guess whenever theres another arena finals anyone who loses can use that as an excuse now... LAME.

even the best miss spares.......walter ray williams, jr. and norm duke included. i have seen machuga and wolfe miss spares on telecasts before. when you aren't finding the pocket or carrying all ten it's easy to lose focus and concentration when it comes time to shoot a spare.
I've seen everyone miss A, one spare.
Wolfe missed 2 or 3 spares. That's ridiculous. One, I can understand. Two or Three in one game, I cannot.
Look, something else was going on there and I cannot blame the bowlers (except for Rash's Demons).

Jeff,
The upcoming TOC @ Red Rock will be the same, the tournament will be contested on the regular house lanes, then they will utilize the VIP lanes for the telecast. If I remember correctly the scores change dramatically for the worse the last two tournaments there. All I can see is that it allows them to have the TV lanes set-up early for the telecast.
By the way, I will be there to watch the TOC wednesday through the ESPN telecast.

But the flagging of single pin spares with plastic has little to do with any of those variables.
Sure everyone misses a spare now and then but not 4 single pins in one show.
Other than maybe Kelly Coffman throwing at 10 pins
