Does anybody know how to get on the TBA, or become a state base organiser? is it a vote system or is it a matter of just putting your had up or worst still "jobs for friends"

Finally it has come out, Geoff posted "I have spent time on the NSW TBA Board and found it incredibly frustrating to deal with some people who have their own agendas" I have heard this a few times before from well known people in the bowling community. Who are these people getting into positions...

please add Carlos Quaremba Troy Gaylard to C Squad Thanks

Im sorry if people think the TBA is being bashed but they haven't exactly done a great job in the passed and the bowling community has a good memory. I bowled in the Mentone cup on the weekend and If you want a good model for a tournament then here it is. Value for money, a playable pattern for...

I may be acused of being a shit stirrer and i admit that in some of my pass post i may have gone a little too far, but it is so good to see people getting involved in active discussion/argument because for this ideas are generated for bettering the sport.

So true Michael. I would have thought the TBA would do very thing in their power to keep the show going. It was such a good form of advertisement for the sport. So I ask again....what are they "actually" doing for the sport, other than collecting their "TAX"

Here Here Jimcross I have a question...what are the women doing to increase their own numbers?. I personally have help and encourage 3 bowlers to step up from league level to sport series and tourneys. Id also like to know what parameters the TBA are using to judge if this works? Have they set a...

all that I will say is that the event is not ranked but it was not from a lack of trying from what i have heard. Hopefully Deano will answer your question

Chin I think Ill let Deano reply to your post as he is the one that dealt with the TBA re accreditation.

very interesting reading

Thanks RobbieB:oops:

Unfortunately Deano some people can not see anything wrong with the TBA and their ways. It would not be that hard for the Rachuig trials to be moved to give your tourney every chance for success. But unfortunately your tournament is not sanctioned thus the TBA are not interested in helping you...

Very funny Chin

Well said Mistagear. I would like to see someone argue against your logic. I guess i just do get the warm and fuzzy feeling some people get by helping those poor underscoring women bowlers. The way i see it, and it maybe harsh, is if the women don't want to support their sport then its their bad...

People are missing the point of what I'm saying. If a tournament was made up of only the best 10 guys and the best 10 girls then by all means give the girls the extra 8 pins but its not that way. The tournaments are made up of the best 10 girls/guys, and the rest which is more that the best put...

I just read the TBA websites info on social networks and from what i can understand it basically stated that if you are a member you cant talk about them. Am I wrong?

I agree we need at governing body. Im just not sold on the TBA being that body. Can anybody tell me in basic point form what they are doing to further the sport. I would also like to know where the registration money goes..Are the pays of the employees made public? where can i find this info...

Well here it is guys, this may get shut down pretty quick but here goes anyway. I would like to here from everybody as to what they think of the TBA good or Bad, Are we heading into the right direction or is this a sinking ship. You all know where I stand on the matter, I have made no bones...

Antagonists, did i hear someone call my name LOL, just kidding, I think John is onto a winner there. A state and National sports series would be great.

OK ill leave the TBA alone for a while, I can start a TBA kicking thread later on. I think people here are missing the point, We need to start looking after the 2/3 of the bowlers that make up most of the tourneys, George, Sam, Michael and the rest of the guys that make the top 10 will keep...

I know of at least 2 that have pulled out because of Rachuig

good for you Dougy for not running the 8 pin rule. Mistagear...i could not have put it better myself.

The TBA is the governing body, they should be coming up with the ideas thats what they get paid for, but wait...they wont even return the call for bowler who needs help to run the second biggest paying tournament in Australia.They collect the registration fees, this money is meant to go towards...

There is only one thing worst than coming up with a S*&T idea Scotty R and thats is, coming up with a S&*T idea and running with it for a year while it does irreversible damage! I believe for every 1 female you may gain and i say MAY gain, you will definitely lose 3 male fringe bowlers. Once...

Thats exactly right Bluey. We are giving the handicap to the wrong people, they know, it but want say anything publicly. They just take their 8 pins and laugh all the way and that is what pisses me off. Scotty R said "I don't see AMP or Lexi putting the same amount of work on the ball as...
