CDB was whacking them in practice with a Total Inferno and a Strike Zone, but made a game-time decision to throw the Absolute.  She looked like a genius for about three frames.  

Lynda never really had a great look with anything in practice.

The lights made those lanes transition in a hurry.

I agree, I had it video taped and was just about to watch it, thanks for the time saver!

BTW, next time you want to post about something that involves the winner of a tournament like the PBA Tour tv finals that are soon to start, put in the subject line "Spoiler" not the persons name! Im not that mad about it but some people do take it pretty hard sometimes.

Don't bother complaining about it to him.  Greg has proven before that he won't respect the wishes of other posters and not post winners in the titles.  This wasn't the first time and it won't be the last.  I understand that it's ridiculous that you can't browse the site before watching the show, but that's really the only solution if you don't want jerks to ruin it for you.

which one of you self-appointed moderators have been authorized by ballreviews.com to decide how long a person has to wait to post a comment on a television show that happened almost 9 1/2 hours earlier ? i'd like to know.

I kinda wonder why folks that haven't seen the show would wander into PWBA forum to see what was up???  Now if you saw Greg's post about it on the home page I can understand your frustration.  Bruns Mike's idea of a title like US Women's Open "Spoiler" is always a good idea.  

Liz did a nice job.  Rather have seen a youngin' Shannon win it but oh well.  

BTW....nice rollin' this weekend Greg.

Well, you hit the nail on the head.  For me, it was on the front page.  I saw it yesterday so I already knew the outcome.  Nevertheless...

Further, when I hit "Latest Posts", which I usually do when I haven't been on in a few hours, it's there in the PWBA section along.  "Well just skip it".  Right.  I can skip a 1" tall space 2/3 of the way through the list.  That I don't even know I'm supposed to skip.  It's before the For Sale stuff, so it's not like I could just read the first page of posts.

Frankly, I don't mind people talking about the tournament.  We have threads that go on during the telecast.  Just don't put the frickin' winner's name in the thread title.  This bullshti about "Well don't come on a bowling forum..." is just that: Bullshti.

On the auto racing forums I visit, it's standard practice to NEVER EVER put anything in the subject about the results of the event.  Even if it happened a week ago, you STILL don't do it for someone who taped it and hasn't watched it yet.  ALWAYS put the event name and (SPOILERS) in capital letters!!

I watched the event live, but I always cringe when I see thread titles that give away the ending.

Good lord this site is full of babies.  You are right, there is no point watching it now, all the drama is gone.  Guess what, if you would have watched it the drama was gone in the championship match pretty early on.  Wasn't too hard to figure out who was going to win.  Ooops, did I just spoil that again for you?  My bad.

I wish my life was so simple that finding out who won an LPBA tournament that I taped assisted in ruining my day.

Think about all of the really important reasons you could call someone a rectum.

John, I feel the same way too.  They act like finding out the ending of a match is life or death.  Even in sports, if I know the ending, I'm still likely to watch to find out how it happened.  

I (like many other folks) watch sports on ESPN and see scores posted on the Bottom Line.  Guess what comes next, I watch sportscenter to find out what happened to lead to those scores.

Seems to me like you could make people who don't like spoilers in the topic happy by not putting spoilers in the topic.  People who don't care will continue to not care.

Alternatively, you could put spoilers in the topic and piss off a bunch of people, while the people who don't care will continue to not care.

One of those options pisses off some people, one doesn't.  The rest of the folks don't care.  Why deliberately piss people off?  There's a benefit to keeping spoilers out of the topic title, and a downside to putting them in it.  The situation will be no worse off, and likely to be better, by putting "SPOILER" in the title and the actual spoilers in the body.

If someone could come up with a reason that doesn't sound like "Well why come to a bowling forum in the first place?" and doesn't sound like "well I don't mind, I'm going to watch anyway", I'd love to hear it.  I might even give you a dollar.
