You are thanking someone for something that hasn't happened, may not even happen, and may not have even had anything to do with George, he just might know something.
The fact is that anyone can spread rumours about someone coming over. If it was FACT then names could be mentioned.
I have seen tourneys announce that big names are bowling only to have them withdraw at the last minute. It is simply a ploy to get bowlers interested. Until I see something concrete I am going to treat this as yet another rumour.
Someone once said Belmo was bowling in a tourney. Belmo withdrew leading up to the tourney.
It happens.

Is it just me? ( I'm not sure I want an answer to that !! ): or are some of these posts " strange " ??
I think it would be more logical for people to enter a high paying tournament, if they gave themselves a chance of sharing some of the money, rather than enter it because some high profile "famous" ones were entering, so giving them less chance of taking home the loot.
Why does anyone think that high profile entries would encourage more low profile entries?
WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

You will need to change your 'signature' to Officially back. Simple.

Right, thanks, I see it all. I'm just relieved that it's not some sort of peasant type thinking, that being in the company of one's famous betters gives one a warm glow and the hope that some of the fame might rub off on one. I'm obviously just an old cynic.---- sorry.

Obviously nothing is confirmed until they shoe and start bowling but I have been proactively telling a lot of my International bowling friends. I have spoken to bowlers and National team coaches from Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, USA, Denmark, England, Indonesia and even Greece.
The people I have mentioned (but left out their names) are ones who said they will come for sure. This is their word not mine, a lot of other bowlers expressed interest but I didn’t mention their countries. As mentioned, nothing is final until they are here.
The reality is even though it is a bad time to host such an event on this year International Calendar people overseas have an obsession with Sydney and really want to come. Some of the American pro's will run coaching clinics prior to the event in order to help subsidise their trip, I can assure you there will be some pros here male and female.
Sorry for wanting to create some interest in the biggest event we've ever hosted apart from the Manhatten Superclassic

I guess the logical question to ask would be one concerning eligibility for the Australian Masters. Does anyone know whether or not a bowler (Australian AND International) will have to first compete in the Australian Adult Nationals (S, D, T) before being allowed to bowl the Masters?

Now, there's a good question, which is in need of a good answer.
This could almost be called the joke thread.
Silver membership just to bowl?
People being allowed to bowl if they buy membership the day before it is on even if they are not registered in a league in Australia?
People starting rumours to get bowlers interested in bowling in the tourney?
I decided (only this morning) not to bowl in this even though I had been asked. Glad I did now.

George is quite right. The National Masters is only open to Silver Level Members. Here's the link.

So you don't need Silver level to bowl in Rachuig, Nationals etc but you do if you want to bowl in the Masters which is the culmination of Rachuig/Nationals.
That was well planned people.......

Isn't that the only way to make it into the Masters?

Maybe they can change it so that you have to be a silver member to bowl Nationals and Rachuig as well and all ranked events...... Thats the way it should be!

Mate I think your the joke.... do you think people are really going to care if you dont show? Do you have to be asked to participate in the events? Last time I checked I didnt see your name on any squad listing on major events we currently have here.
Does it matter that International bowlers dont bowl league here? I dont bowl league in Indonesia, Qatar or Malaysia but after paying a 'registration fee' (which for the sake of words could be our Silver membership joining fee) I was allowed to bowl.
Stop thinking of this as an Australian Masters and start thinking of it as an International Open. I have already told tournament promoters I'll be back in Jakarta in June to defend my title, is that a rumour as well or is me notifying a bunch of friends over there I'm bowling? Same thing applies here.
Get over yourself and if you dont have anything positive to say maybe just dont say it. I'm thankful we even have this event to bowl, you should be as well.
