Title: Which pattern for which event?
Post by: charlest on February 01, 2005, 12:43:20 PM
How do I find that on the PBA website?
I'd actually want to know for the US Open at Carolier (NJ). A friend is bowling in it and wants suggestions about possible balls for it. I don't see the pattern published yet.

Thanks.

Never Mind. I see it's special: 40 ft of flat oil.
Glad I'm not bowling!!

No PBA pattern here. US OPEN pattern for it. Get ready for 2 shots every frame. Very TOUGH.

From memory of the last few years isnt it basically a flat heavy pattern that goes ALONG way down the lane? Would that be pretty close CJ? Or am I thinking of the TOC?

BTW, not wanting to hijack the thread here... but... keep up the good bowling CJ. Your knocking on the door every week, looking forward to seeing you on the show soon.

good luck and high scoring

charlest, CJs right, but if you want to see what the pattern is being used for an event, click on the Schedule link on the PBA page, then just pick the event.

For a description of each pattern, there is a Lane Conditions link near the bottom of the left column.  Each pattern is described there.

cgilyeat,

I did add the pattern description in my edit of the original post. See above.

However, here's the US Open event description,
http://www.pba.com/CP/eventdetails.asp?ID=162&ttype=1
If you see the pattern there, let me know. I can't see it.

I did find it on the Lane Description description page,
http://www.pba.com/laneconditions/default.asp,
where they have a section entitled,
"Major's Patterns". I clicked on the US Open to see
