It was nice to meet ya 'shiv
I guess you must have left after game 2- I actually fared dececntly in the last game of that shift...and hopefully someone off that last pair cashed since they had Cathy shooting 300, Carolyn 260 and my 273 (7 count on the fill ball led to the odd 27x score).
I just got back from the practice sessions...I went early to watch A squad and stuck around for all of C squad. I know the pattern won't break down the same way, but it gives some semblance of how toasty they might get.
The pattern we have is fractionally off from being sport-compliant, with the 20:2L and R sides being 2.25. Pattern is run approximately 24 feet forward and buffed to 41, with no reverse application. If I understand the numbers correctly, there are 55 units on each board where it was applied. I had looks both inside and outside, and there seemed to be people faring well on both the left and right. As with most patterns, matching speed, revs and surface was critical. Carry seems to be good, and as such, I expect that the cut to top64 will be in the range of +50 to +80.
Stay tuned
