I just wanted to say, I think it's fantastic to see some new faces getting involved and bringing some fresh ideas with them. For anybody looking to see some changes occur, you're actively invited to attend the AGM and put forth your ideas - although there's some good ones been put forward...

Yeah, improvements are afoot. Anyone wishing to nominate for a board position on the ACTTBA or to make a motion to change the constitution needs to file said nomination or notice this week - apologies for the lateness on that note. I can provide blank nominations and notices to anyone interested

Agreed Max, no offence taken at all. I administrate other sports, I get to see a great deal of where the funds disperse with them. My point was merely that we're comparing apples and oranges, sure they're both fruity but not the same thing. Bowling is expensive because our game rate is...

Firstly I agree, the fee TBA asks for isn't worth complaining about to me, however I think this comparison is faulty. This article mentions $254 for the football (the round one!) season. So fo 26 weeks of competition. Even add that much again for new boots and shin guards, call it a $500...

All, Just wanting to ensure everyone is aware of the following two important administrative events on the ACT calendar - 1. ACTTBA AGM, and election of the entire board 2. Holt AGM / info session Both of these are in AMF Tuggeranong on the 21st of February. ACTTBA at 10.00am and Holt at...

You serious tix? I think he's a bit past that stage, from what I can see...

Isn't double elimination really really popular in the UK still? Can anyone from there confirm/deny and maybe explain that? The "problem" with double elimination can be that the best performing bowler can bow out in two. I remember around 2000 ACT Jnr Masters I think, Scott Robertson (?)...

For the bowl to have the temperature down low enough that it could have a "gradual increase in temp" and end up acceptable, you'd probably complain it was too cold. In any case, what do you hope to accomplish with this thread?

There's more to it than pinfall. Our draft picks weren't the best performing bowlers at their trials necessarily, we picked on performance at trials vs their entering average, performance at other events, opinions of other authorities near them, and their ABILITY TO REPRESENT US in an acceptable...

I assume most have seen the Lake Tawakoni spider web of 2007?

Mr Doust wins... That's brilliant

You should try marketing this to the proshop operators around here, it's not a bad little office unit. It's definitely not a gaming unit

I can't speak for the other zones, but I think we got second shot... Maybe NT had a pick first?

If a team drafts you, you will be called to accept the offer. So you will know before it happens, if you get drafted. We (the ACT) already made our selections and those girls accepted

Was that sarcastic Peter, or did you not know now of this thread?

Yeah, sorry. I'm a software developer, my universe is object oriented, and my view is matrix-like with logic and code everywhere... Now, setting up bizarre pin configurations and sparing them (requiring some skill) is far more impressive to me...

I fail to see why this is so spectacular... The ball is a certain diameter wide, the bowler has the skill to be accurate within let's say 3 boards (nice big target). You are free to line up as many chairs, people, pins, whatever you like on the inside, outside, or around my line. All I'm...

If I could hold an event, we'd have a masters... :p

Probably not, although that is still to be locked in. Who would you suggest?

All, The question has been asked a bit lately, and I would like to announce the timing of the 2009 ACT Junior Masters. The 2009 ACT Junior Masters will be held in conjunction with the combined ACT State Championships, in August. It couldn't be done in 2008 due to a scheduling conflict...

I believe you'll find that SportingPulse is basically free for NSO's to use, and they support that by selling advertising space... People are already whinging about spending $50 to the NSO, well if they maintain their own site we'll need to pay for that too... It's not cheap

I think that exact one was also featured on that trick shot dvd that was circulated around nationals 2004, in Illawarra - I'm surprised you didn't pick up that dvd in your home centre Rowey? Of course, I may be mistaken

Okay all, my apologies for the timing of this, but attached is the nomination form for both Coaches and Managers of the Presidents Junior Interstate Shield team 2009. Please note the closing date in Mid-January Please note also that the TBA managers course will not be a requirement, the...

Gotta hate it when your 249 gets trounced by 20 pins, but your 212 two games later walks it in :P So what was it about the pattern?

Please please please tell me you're going to oil odds to 50ft and evens to 30ft or something insane, so that all matches are played on the same "pair patterns" ? That'll keep the concentration going...
