Please put down George Frilingos, Jason Belmonte, Brandon Qualifchefski and Jarrod Lean down for the 4pm and 6.30pm squads on Friday.
I would personally like to commend Tony and AMF Australia for adopting this 'Euro' style format. This format is almost identical to most tournaments found on the European Bowling Tour. This successful formula not only boosts prizefunds but allows the bowlers several chances to make the final. For interstater's its a great draw card.
Desperado squads are a lot of fun, watching bowlers have that one last crack is a huge crowd pleaser. You really have to see it to appreciate how fun it is.
The best of 3 format is great. It's exciting and it really makes each shot count. Crowd's love the match up's, just like tennis, the longer into the tournament the more exciting the matches.
I really hope bowlers not only see value in this event ($150 to bowl in one of Australia's Top events) but support it accordingly. How many chances do you get to win $2500 for just $150 outlay and gain experience against Australia's best? If you don't make it, try again, 28th is $400, you can still double your money.
Hoping this is one of many to come......
