All over the place, Ryan. Adelaide hosted a few. I remember in the late 90's as a junior bowling in Adelaide, and we needed two centres to cram events in back then. I believe the old Perth centres did host a few over the years, but that's well before my time too.

I'm surprised that he let go of the ball, I would've put it on the approach and pushed it away from the lane, just to be sure it didn't end up being a foul. Side note, how well did he do keeping his sliding sole off the slick :)

AMF want it at Rooty Hill and they're paying for the privelege. I know my bowlers in general had a bit of a sigh about not going somewhere new, but you can't deny the venue is top notch and I'm not personally aware of anywhere else that is as well set up. I'm sure I've read of a number of...

Does anybody happen to know the last time that any state drafted a Rachuig male? For all I know it could've happened last year, it's a genuine question.

I'm not interested in buying in too much to this debate, tournament directors will apply their own common sense to this situation as it arises. Clearly though you guys haven't bowled in purely social leagues in a while, I certainly have bowled with opponents that either weren't concerned with...

Wow... I'd guess the real answer to the question is because they were seriously too cheap for so long. Even at this comparitively huge rise to $3, I'd be betting that's one of the cheapest practice rates in the country! It's so big because they probably waited too long to start raising it in all...

That wasn't directed at you at all mate, if you look back down this main forum you'll find a number of conversations where people are happy to dive in and rant or criticise without contributing, makes me want to tear my hair out (fortunately nature is saving me that trouble). I was meaning that...

Without meaning to sound rude or confrontational, I think you just demonstrated a point that the old hands (I was going to say "we" but my 13 years in the sport is a mere fraction of some of the old hands here) have been trying to fight, and sadly a point the proprietors in general are scared...

Having 'worked' in Altona while I was running Holt last year, I heard and saw some horror stories with this place - avoid it like the plague was the advice given to me. They have a habit of leaving things to cool on open benches out the back and aren't very good at fighting the birds or bugs off!

You're in luck Androo, if you have a modern ball that's all you have to do, you could even close your eyes if you wanted!

Okay, lets try and keep this one to a sensible discussion... Background: I have made a little system for storing tournament statistics. I've been punching in scores for events (only takes 15 minutes to enter and cross check a whole squad, fortunately). At the end of this exercise I'll be...

I've seen this pop up a bit lately, maybe it should be kudos to faball for initially recognising that the market wanted 'cheater' equipment, now kudos again for realising the market wants 'realistic' equipment. Whatever their motivations, mistakes of the past, or goals of the future, I guess...

All, The next Annual General Meeting of the ACT Tenpin Bowling Association will be held in February 2012. More information will be released shortly. Nominations will be sought for the positions of, President, Vice, Secretary, Treasurer, Disabilities Co-ordinator, and Development Officer...

Actually I think an even better start would be for someone to start a discussion about how it would work best, and try and formulate an idea to take forward. The ideal next step would be for other people to provide some constructive input. It's great to stimulate discussion, but when I...

Good grief man, give me something constructive to work with... Let me try from a different angle, how would you make the rankings system work?

Well that sounds like you might have some answers to my questions, what's wrong with the current system?

Hi all, my apologies if this has been raised before, I had a search back through but couldn't find anything. I've heard some mumblings about the way the rankings system works. I'm not in a position to change it, but I AM looking at consolidating a heap of information and I'm interested in...

That was certainly not the impression Craig Jeffrey gave me, he said they had plans for this for next year?

"just the nationals" is probably my fault, for which I apologise it was not my intent. It is clearly our pinnacle event. I wonder how many hours she spent there as it was, neglecting everything else? Personally I'd rather see the sport make the Commonwealth Games, gain some popularity, and...

Thanks Bec, exactly the point I was going to make. Let's ignore Commonwealth Games to 'be seen' at Nationals?

To ask a question that is in no way meant to be defensive or confrontational; why would you expect Cara to make an appearance for Seniors? Without wanting to belittle it, there was nothing on except another bowling event and she doesn't generally go to bowling events. And of course I mean that...

A shot used to be completed when the next shot began, however in the practical sense for mine it's when the ball has left your hand, AND entered the lane area, AND you have your balance back - much the same as in Gymnastics where you're not 'finished' until you're balanced. The ballbeing...

All of the tournaments I run include two rules which do cover this, the first being "All TBA Rules and Regulations will apply" (which isn't actually that relevant), and the second that says "Hats are not to be worn whilst competing", which is listed straight after "No jeans, track-pants, tank...

Don't mind me while I take the hijack on a tangent; Mr Doust is this what you meant to say? Just my maths is having an issue with 3>8... Should the sentence read "Patterns greater than 3 and less than 8 to 1 are..." (>3<8:1) or (3<R<8:1 where R is Ratio) Alternatively, I look forward to...

So to go back to other sports such as Football (soccer), to get a Socceroos jersey you need to show up on a trials day, outplay whoever else decided to show up, and then go home with a uniform and wait for the world cup to roll around? What about improving your players? Learning to work...
