What's the chances of walking up and getting on a squad?  I'd hate to make that trip and not get on a team.

For next year...

There were no problems walking in and getting on a squad. The 1pm squad on Saturday was almost full, but there was room on the others. I'll let Mr. Hill communicate the official results, entries, and such, but I can provide a bowler's perspective.

The lane conditions were difficult for a number of reasons. The pattern was long and heavy and I mean heavy by anyone's definition of the term. Bowlers with high rev rates were throwing equipment sanded down to 180 grit and throwing it slow: the slower the better. It wouldn't surprise me if others were sanding stuff down below 180. With all of that, bowlers were happy if they could get the ball to hook 5-6 boards.

The pattern was tight and it didn't break down. The lanes were redressed before each squad as promised. Even with the near-full 1pm squad, no one was able to blow a hole in the pattern. Missing out a board or two was a bad idea. There were plenty of buckets, washouts, and 2-10/3-7 leaves to go around. Bigger misses out were 3 counts. Missing in was a crap shoot. Small misses were ok, but anything more than a board and it was nose or crossover.

Bowlers trying to hook the ball at spares - any spare - struggled. Watching some bowlers, you could see how they were used to their ball hooking a couple of boards when throwing at opposite-corner spares. For example we saw plenty of righties missing 7-pins on the right and lefties missing 10-pins on the left.

Personally, I enjoyed the tournament very much and plan to return next year. Anyone looking for a true test of skill should consider making the trip.

Mr. Hill - thanks again. Hope to see you next year.
