is it possible to download this year's or last years usbc nationals pattern onto a programmable lane oiling machine?  if so where can I go to download these files?  our proprietor is willing to do this but not sure how.  we want to practice a couple of times on something resembling what we will see in vegas, understanding totally it wont be the exact same thing, but much tougher than our local ditch where you almost cant miss unless you trip and fall down.

thanks doug

Unless I'm wrong, the USBC was not going to release the pattern spreadsheet until the tournament began.  Start date, 2/21, no?

The USBC site states that it will be released around the 2/15th.

Why do you think the USBC is waiting so long to release the pattern? The bowlers that get to go to Vegas in the later stages of the event get to practice all they want on the pattern while the bowlers in the first week pretty much have to guess. Just doesnt seem fair.
