Once Bowl868 gets back from there i'm sure he'll post something.

He just shot a "300" there in doubles.

If it doesn't have DT or RG stamped on it.
Just leave it in the bag.

Bass asks, Bass shall receive...  For reference, I'm a stroker with a high track and lots of roll in my release.

I played straight up 4&5 board in Team for 2 games with my One.  When there was a little wiggle in carry I focused on 3&4 board.  Last game I switched to my label Detour on the same line. 222-206-215-644

Doubles... same line with my One.  I think I might have been trying a few shots between 1st and 2nd arrow the first game, I don't remember.  But I settled back into 4 board for 193-227-300.

Singles...  thanks to the charcoal chuckers in the team event, this pair sucked.  The outside was so torched.  I switched all the way to my Nitro R2 Pearl spare ball on the exact same line as I shot the 300 with.  But the consistency and carry just really isn't with that ball anymore, so the last game I went into 18-19 with the One and ground out a clean 203.  In retrospect, I wish I had moved deeper.  Actually, I wish I just would have been able to stay on my doubles pair.

Certainly a better look than the past 3 years for me.  Crankers have a good shot inside too.  My teammate with 300 that followed mine shot it from inside 4th arrow turning and throwing hard.  Lots of hook.

Why yes I did...

BTM (my favorite), went to a longer pattern than last year... 48 feet, flat.  Ouch.  Bass knows I throw it straight... but I couldn't get it to wrinkle on the fresh, especially from outside 2nd arrow.  Tight 3rd arrow was the best for me, but I still couldn't open anything up.  This you would definitely want to go to when more bowlers have bowled and broken down the shot.  I went from 882 last year to 643 this year.  The establishment was alright, and it's old wood and the approaches were a touch tacky, but not too bad.  I would definitely rather be playing a pattern like this on synthetics.

40 framer - tougher house shot on old wood.  Outsides didn't play that well.  I was alright around 12-13 with a little swing with my One.  Followed the transition in, switched to my Detour for a while.  But after frame 25 I had gotten to where the crankers started and I was S.O.L.  I had an ok look outside of 2nd arrow, but never found anything consistent, so I stayed in.

BJ - Didn't bowl.  Not sure if it was on the same pattern as the 40 Framer or not.

More on Joe Conrad:

He shot 761 in Singles, swinging 6 to 3 for 3 games.
Never moving.
Don't know what he was using.

Is this the Joe Conrad that bowls in the Chicago
area ? Just wondering.

Anyway, the lanes to me played a little farther out
out than usual. I tried to play a normal USBC inside
shot but backends were more consistent from a more
direct line. Leak right and it was gone, leak 1 or 2 to
the left, and rail ! I lefty 8 rails in team event
alone. Shot could be scored on, but the revmasters
had the advantage. The leftside seemed more scorable
from watching for 2 days.

Otherwise, pretty boring town, but food was good and
stadium was right on the bay, with the USS Lexington
in walking distance.
