I have read the National ranking Criteria Calender propsed for 2010, as it is very brief and general at the moment, but one area that has major concerns is a paragraph that states
"Ranked events promoters will be required to lay a Lane Condition selected from a number of conditions supplied to them by TBA"
We have just witnessed at Mt Gravatt the lack of knowledge from facilitators in regards to Seniors bowling and their "special" requirements with lane conditions, if the choice of conditions are limited similar to the rubbish laid down, at the Nationals then the senior calender is in trouble.
What the facilitators forget is we not only pay good money to travel but those of us who own businesses and have to pay someone to work for us it is also a large cost, so to go and get shafted by arrogance will drive bowlers away. if not only for the lack of condition, but the extra financial costs.
The other reason we have this condition is to challenge the guys going to Manila (one L) why I ask....30 app are going, there were 80 seniors restricted and open at the challenge, so the other 50 were treated unfairly because of this...someone has to open the facilitators eyes..or they should talk to us, or better still bowl with us on the same lanes and then tell us its ok.....we dont want easy conditions but conditions fair to all senior shot selection.... and this was not...BTW no 200 ave at the seniors National...look at last years and was this as successful...no
