about 10 hours from Ohio but KY I would think would be about 12 hours away. I have people though that I have come from New York, Arizona, Michigan all over in the past couple of years. Where else can you put in $100.00 and have a chance to win $5,000.00. A regional you pay $250 - $275 and can only win at the most $3500.00. Plus I have brackets and eliminators every qualifying squad. I have guys to walk out with $1,000.00 or so every squad just in brackets.

A couple of things I would like to know if at all possible. Are you telling me that of the 175 (just for ratio purpose) only 20 get a check? Not complaining but I am just curious what is your cash ratio. Secondly, is this on a wall or will there be some sort of pattern laid out. I normally do not ask but I do not think I would want to drive 7 hours to try and average 250 LOL...Is there incentive on bowling more than one squad? Finally, could you possibly post a break down of last years results and pay outs?

To reply to your question the lane conditions are tough, usually I use a 45 foot pattern that is pretty slick not much friction at all, it took +42 last year for 6 games of qualifying to make the first cut. Last 4 years I have run this tournament as a cut to 16 for match play and paid 1 for 10 for every entry after 150. Last year I had exactly 180 and paid 18 spots. With the entry fee being so low it is hard to pay more spots and equal out the money. Below is the pay out from last year. This year I will be taking the top 20 instead to increase bracket play so those players can make more money in the side action. That is where you really make a killing.

1. Lee Vanderhoff - $ 5,000.00
2. David Bleggi - $ 2,000.00
3. Terry Decker - $ 650.00
4. Michael Wall- $ 650.00
5. Mike Lynch - $ 400.00
6. Chris Collins - $ 400.00
7. Leon Lamm - $ 400.00
8. Seance Hayman - $ 400.00
9. Bill Vanoy - $ 200.00
10. Morris Clegg- $ 200.00
11. Shawn McKee - $ 200.00
12. Kay Choosakul - $ 200.00
13. Bryson Rogers - $ 200.00
14. Greg Black - $ 200.00
15. Rich Horsley - $ 200.00
16. Dennis Killough - $ 200.00
17. Dave Douglas - $150.00
18. Matt Sander - $ 150.00

Thank you for the information. I would enjoy bowling but it just doesn't seem worth it coming from Maryland. No less than 2nd place would justify that. I hope the tournament is a success as it seems it is.

So, taking $100.00 and winning $650.00 for the top 8 is not worth it. Lets see you go to a regional and spend $225.00 for entry and the last couple of pay outs were like $500.00 for that same cash spot and they would have over 200 entries. Dont get me wrong the ratio is better for a regional but there is not side action where like I said before is where the real money is. I mean I went all the way to New Jersey for a tournament like mine and entry was $175.00 and first place only paid $3,000.00 and drove almost 11 hours and stayed 3 nights. Its more to me about competition than the reward if you really love bowling competitively. Sorry to hear that you will not make it.

It is not that I do not like the competition by any means. I do not have the luxury of dropping tons of money. There are 6 squads I believe so in order to make any "real" money you would have to bowl a minimum of what 3? That means I am giving the pool $200 extra to try and win more on top of the $200 plus side action. Who knows, I may end up there. But when you see a fund where you have to finish in the top 5% to make a decent check it is tough to gear up for something like that........

Best of luck to you are your staff though....I will absolutely spread the word.

Appreciate man, with the economy the way it is the turn out might not be as good this year but we will see. Sponsors are renewing so that is a good sign.
