Thanks for the report, Jeff.  Good luck this weekend and look forward to the streaming of your team event.

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

Good luck Jeff
Saw My buddy Brians 300 game.  Used a Reign at 500 from the surface factory and then went over it with a fresh 500 abby and power house for 30 seconds a side.  Pin down, similar to a lot of Steves layouts. Rev rate is like you guys for the most and he threw pretty much up 8-9
Picked up earlier hook for the next two but tried to stay in the general area with the look he had for the 3 and balled over to older Agents, all with finer finishes and some polish. I  thought they where really playable early on as well from anyplace but did play in the same range as Brian for 227 with an open to start.  Just had 3 guys deeper that I should have been with, and could never catch up with the inside oil line with my adjutments, partially for fear of being chastized with my guys that did practice for doing opposite of what we practiced (getting too deep to early)and partially because I couldn't believe the amount of hook I WAS seeing.  Knowing what you all have done I know you guys will do well with what I saw with the time I spent there this past week.  With how you can play on top of each other there will be a period you'll see some hold if you are making aggresive shots as I'm sure you've seen in practice. It's just a matter of chasing it left with the right pieces, something else you are all wizards at.  Blow them up!!

Jeff,
It'll be interesting to see if it works on the darkside as well.
We've got 5 lefties and 5 righties going.
Our game plan pretty much mimic's yours.

All things are better when they come from Texas.

Question for you...is it unusual for your minors events to be broken up into two squads? I've never heard of that before, but I've only attended 7 nationals (from 2003-2010, missed Albuquerque).

I had a great time, but struggled with a 505 in doubles, rebounded with 661 singles. In team, shot a 568 with spare disorder  

Thank you to all who have posted on your experiences this year...very helpful, and  I'd have to say, dead right in all instances. I had a great look with a box-finish Reign of Fire, then switched to my NVD (4000 finish) for the end of team event. Too bad I missed a few easy spares. I had a burnt pair in doubles and really couldn't get a decent reaction, even with my old Eraser at 4000, so that's the luck of the draw. I was happy to rally with a 661 using my NVD again, but had the honor of catching Miss Pluhowsky in brackets (even though she kicked all our butts, she really is something to watch...perfect form).

I believe they started breaking up their squads last year for two reasons.  One, to watch and support each other and two, to not kill the side pot action.

Thanks, I will look into that in the future.

Good luck Riggs & everybody else.
