Without being negative, i think we need to find some "good samaritan " sponsors like Jase of Totalbowling and Max from BBA for tournaments in Victoria to survive. I totally agree with Craig that the prize fund payout should be more balanced so the not so "Elite" bowlers like us would support them
I also feel this is one of the reason why the numbers are down at our tournaments because the Elite bowlers always cash out and the not so good are there just to make the numbers.
As for sports series in Victoria, lets get sponsors first...if not this will die too

A sponser would be great and I would gladly endorse and support anybody who elected to provide sponsership to Tenpin bowling in this country but a series like this should not be about money.
I believe that the key to a successful sports series is to figure out how much bowlers are prepared to pay to bowl on a condition that will challenge their skills, make them think a little more and at the end of the day make them better/smarter bowlers.
I'd be happy to pay $70 or $80 to bowl ten games if I felt I was learning a little more about my bowling, even if it was highlighting deficiencies in my game

The idea of a sport series is VIC is great, the QLD & NSW sport series are working well. The chance for bowlers to get much needed practice on sport conditions is a big plus for everyone & the sport.
As the Australian Distributor for Ebonite, Robby's, Etonic & Turbo Grips. I'm sure we could work something out with the organisers.
Send me a PM or call me 0401 154 999 and we can discuss everything.
We would love to support this event.

Yes, i'd be very interested in this as well.
Depending on when & where of course.
My game needs the practice on sports shots & would relish
the opportunity to improve in this area.

Hey Tonx,
If this series gets started, I'd be interested in helping out with developing the oil patterns.
In our Sport Bowling League at Mentone, Steve Arundell and I have come up with very challenging sport bowling oil patterns and have also used Official PBA oil patterns to test accuracy and consistency. So far this year, no one is average 200 (similar to the last 2 years) and everyone is enjoying the challenge (at least most people are anyway). They experience less frustration partly because they KNOW they are being tested and know they have to make accurate and consistent shots. Knowing that it will be a tough shot helps the bowlers go in with the mindset that spares are crucial to score well and strikes are at a premium.
Again, I'll be happy to share some of the oil patterns we have developed if this gets started.
Cheers,
Chris
