thanks for the current events (on this and many other issues) - they help those of us who need a reasonable source of current / accurate information.
I agree with their statement that the timing is not right - with the "backlash" from holding the tournament in Reno again and again, the USBC would likely stand to lose more money by pushing the cost to $200. I am lucky enough where it does not affect me, but a 33% jump is staggerring in this economy.
Just bowl!
