I hope Riggs is right, but my concern is if they do away with the Women's Open, that suddenly becomes a lot more OC's in Reno. I don't mind so much as I do better gambling than bowling, but I know I am in the minority on that.
Joe, if they do away with the Women's Championships it most likely will be to rearrange the events in some other fashion so there still are two. Example: A new Open Championships with open and women's divisions, Sport conditions and everything geared to high level competition ... and a Classified Championships (know it needs a better name) with possibly open and women's divisions that might offer softer lane conditions, divisions and/or handicap, and be geared more for the bowler who goes to the tournaments more for fun and vacation.
I'm going no matter what, so I will live with whatever happens. I don't mind Reno since I gamble and I love Vegas for the same reason, but I know others aren't as thrilled. It's going to be interesting to see how things develop.
