Howdy,

The 2005 Storm Las Vegas Main Event begins December 26 at Texas Statiuon, Las Vegas NV.

If you still haven't entered, there is still time.  You can mail your entry by December 17, and walk-in spots are available as space permits (mornings, likely).

First place is guaranteed at $3000 in scratch, $2000 in handicap, and $1500 in girls scratch.  In addition, we guarantee that 24 spots in scratch, 18 in handicap, and 10 in girls scratch will receive at least $100, so it's not too top-heavy a prize fund.   I don't know any other event that guarantees these prizes, especially on a $80 entry fee (I know its not cheap to get and stay there, too).  Sorry if I'm wrong about that.

All the info you need to know, and a complete entry list, is at www.jbtsw.com.

We hope to see you there.

Thanks,
Jeff

I like mason's idea...either no re entry's or make it cost more...I say cut made 55 in the regular squads, and then i say have a huge "last chance" squad where you can fit like 200 bowlers, make it like 100-120 bucks

But no doubt re-entering gives you an advantage, you know how the lanes change...I re-entered, and i did a ton better, but I kind of hurt myself because I bowled so much trying to make cut, my hand was done in cut, but anyways it was a fun tournament with a great shot, deffinately higher scores this year

And Then...........

I left another 10 pin

I went +62 my first squad and made a little in brackets so i re-entered to try to make more money in brackets and went +57..i personally think if kids want to throw out money to build up the prize pool then go for it..

lol, I can handle the truth just fine, and I never said that playing the wrong part of the lane caused me to hurt my hand, guess your to dumb to notice that.  My hand ripped from just bowling alot of games...and as for finding a shot...I had found it in the 2nd squad once it was to late, or I should say a line that carries, because the whole 2nd squad I was in the pocket, it was a line that I never play anywhere and never really try it because I usually can't hit it consistantly...and the last squad I finally got some good carry in which always helps as well...Mason and I will be the first to tell you we bowled bad at first, but when we found it we hit it, plain and simple, how did you bowl mr or ms that seems to know oh so much about this shot...and the only stupid person here is you, because neither me or him are claiming that we are the best and we kicked everyone's butt, we both know how we bowled, and thats all we are claiming to have done, so stop your pointless posts, because we have nothing to do with you and don't want to

i think they should keep the re-entries or limit it, I mean I finished 6th and I knew I made the cut the first time, but I re-entered for brackets and I didnt do so great, it just more money in the pot. Look andrew and I come FL. It cost a lot of money to get there (not saying it doesn't for anyone else) but we need to make it worth coming out there spending the money. I made like 1000 dollars with brackets and still about didn't pay for coming out, but i also went for learning new things. What I am trying to say is that we want to bowl so andrew even leading the main thing the whole time re-entered just because we want to bowl. whether we win or lose we need to no there is something worth going for and that for any tournament. Anyways i thought the tournament was good before i bowled I say great job. I will be back out there for the august tournament too.

thank you, jeff

Kegel training center is the way to go....

this truth kid needs to learn if u dont wanna share you u are we dont wanna hear it and no one else does honestly... i was out of whack when i started and felt like playing a deep line... then decided the track area is the place to be and decided to rebowl playing there... fact of the matter is where did u finish or did u even bowl... i honestly dont care and until u unveil who u are it really doesnt matter either... notice how anyone that tries to talk crap straight to me jared or any other south bowlers they have to keep their identity secret... hmm wonder why? maybe cuz u know we will take u down anytime and place, only reason im wasting my time right now typing this is because i cant sleep at the moment and am so bored that i am going to respond to you because you ammuse me.. and were stupid for bowling again... hmm... maybe i figured out the shot the first squad but screwed aroudn too much... not like i cared really wut i bowled the first time knowing i could re enter... it was kinda like a practice 8 games and then my second 8 i stepped up and thats that, going into a tournament knowing i can re-enter and not bowling the last squad why not see what the shot is like for 8 games and see how htey break down, ever seen the movie Maverick (great movie i might add) where Mel Gibson is playing cards in that Saloon... what did he do for the first hour, he lost but learned all of the tell signs of the other players and saw how they played to ultimately start kickin butt when the time came... same thing here... bowl 8 games... see how transition goes, and then since there is a chance to bowl again... go for it and already know how the shot is going to play and break down, its actually not "Stupid" because its using the re entry to my advantage and other people did the same thing, and wow i re-entered once to try again many others bowled more than 2 squads, so why do we get picked on exactly? ..... all this drama over re-entering a tournament.. and its funny how me and jared get picked out for bowling again and not bowling well the first time... thanks for picking me! i feel so special that "the real truth" has a special place for me in his heart, if you wanna send me a valentine too you can :-) its funny it really is... just cuz there isnt really anything else to talk about you have to manifest this situation that does not matter one bit.. why because its overwith... i miss stuff like this now and then because it happens to rarely now... you ammuse me kid you really do.. thanks for giving me such a smile while i couldnt sleep... as ive said before keep the comedy coming... mr. i dont have a name cuz im too cool to say but decide to talk crap about people that did better than me at a tournament....

your words are totally un-necessary honestly... because the fact is we used the re-entry to our advantage thats all.. so we didnt hit it the first 8 games... there could be a million different factors going on that could have caused that... no one is saying it was hard or easy but just cuz we can score doesnt mean were gonna walk out and whack it every time.. im glad you have so much confidence in me thats great.. make some cheering signs and come on down to teh next tourney that would be fun... all you can do is go out there and bowl and have a good time, and in the case of the tournament why give it your all when you can try again... that is why i think the tournament should go to bowl a squad and if you dont make cut you can have a chance at entering the last chance... because walking into a tournament i know i can re enter does just what i said.. makes me not care as much at all knowing i can see how the lanes are and bowl again to bowl a lot better...

anyways all this talk has finally gotten me tired again so i think im gonna get to bed... hope everyone enjoys this late night reading... especially you MR. TRUTH SCARY MAN... dont forget to be tucked in and dont let those bed bugs bite   ;-)
