Ted Pritts, Anthony Lavery-Spahr, Jimmy McMartin, Xeno Garcia and Pete Thomas' team just shot 3720 in team at the Open Championships.

Also, we're these guys contenders going in? Are they all 230+ average bowlers? Just curious as this is quite a feat.

Is there video anywhere?

Not of team that I have seen so far..

But it did get Cannizzaro and Smith to set up bonus coverage * 2 of the team in Minors. They split the team up; Xeno and Anthony bowled the mid-afternoon shift yesterday (6/24), while the rest bowled the 10:30pm shift that night. Times are PDT.

BL.

After the "rampage" of discouraging comments made on a few facebook posts.  Xeno stated they placed in the top 5 in the team event at Baton Rouge where scores were considerably lower.  I don't know any of them, but from what I've heard they are all very solid players.  I think they missed the team all events mark by about 100 pins or so.  It's too bad so many people have negative things to say, instead of just saying WOW these guys just had an amazing day and deserve a lot of credit.

Nope, its much easier to complain about oil patterns, the surface of bowling balls, where extra holes are placed, the frequency of which the lanes are oiled and damn near everything else these "purists" whine about. Learn the modern game or get out of the way, if you want to suitcase the ball up second arrow, all the time, on EVERYTHING, be my guest. Let the rest of us and the game progress, stay in your time warp watching VHS tapes of how bowling used to be.

The funny thing is when you ask the guy whos doing the most complaining what he shot at Nationals, or better yet, look up their scores, its usually 1450-1500, "so easy", yet they avg 175 over 9 games.

I wish ballreviews had a "like" button similar to facebook, cause I would have "liked" this 1000 times. SO TRUE!

From what I have read/seen, these guys are 100% legit. They are all very good bowlers with long list of accomplishments. They put together the night of their lives. The shot isn't "easy". They just bowled great. I think they are in second for Team AE, missing the top by about 100 pins and about 200-300 pins off of the all-time record for Team AE.

Great bowling.

With high scores like this and the number of 800 series being shot, could we start to put the conditions these scores are being shot as getting too soft much like many complain of the THS? Where are the purists on this? This just can't be these guys are just so damned good!
