And then when you break your hand hitting someone or another "drunk fat guy" breaks your jaw and/or nose, have fun explaining to your team that you cant continue and they will have to take a zero for the rest of the tourny.  You dont seem to want to understand that there is no second chance at this thing.  It isnt league where you get hurt, you return in a couple weeks and continue providing you arent suspended first.  We are only talking about a couple hours here not an entire day or duration of tourny.

If anyone out there is worried about the scores being too high, try duckpin!!


Why would you need to hit someone or worry about getting your nose or jaw broken?

I think that this is a good change for those of us responsible folks who would like to drink something other than water from a paper cup. I won't be drinking any alcohol when I bowl at the Open in April, but it will be nice being able to have my own bottle of water or Gatorade to drink while I'm bowling.

This is supposed to be a way to increase profits.  Wasn't that the reason for the brackets?  How much do they make off of the brackets?  How much of a cut are they going to be getting from each beer, I mean, wouldn't most of the profit be going to the concessions?

I believe that would be the point...to make a profit, and a darn good one at that. The people on here talking about fighting and this and that......its not like they are holding the tournament in a biker bar or something...get real fellas!

Just a update since I just got back from there.  It is my understanding that they are charging $8.00/beer.  They have a lane waitress come down and get your drink order and bring it back to you.  However, for many reasons I am sure, there wasnt a whole lot of drinking going on down at the lanes.  Turnout this year was HORRIBLE!!!  They combined the first two squads for the opening ceremonies, and there were still a good 24-26 lanes with no teams bowling on them.  Then, for the 5:30 S/D squad on Sunday Night, the squad maybe took up half the lanes.

It was $6/beer....and the lane waitress only takes cash.  Still a pretty bad deal...
