Hmmmm. Do you know who your team mates are?

Can anyone confirm the pattern that will be used?
I see a 32ft pattern was posted on this post, but I heard that it was going to be long & 41ft.
Thank you

I'm told 42ft, fairly good volume, surface needed.
That graphic would show you the last conditioner load (32ft end) but without buff
A 32 foot pattern would be funny as

Thanks Adam for clarifying that for me

(slightly indulgent winners speech...)
Thanks to Oz Tenpin Chirnside Park, Lee and all made everything run very smoothly. Condition was interesting shall we say. Love a tough pattern though.
Simon and Goldpin, love this tournament...ran very well, no dramas
Country centres, Mildura, Shepp, love catching up with you guys, Warrnambool, Bendigo...all the travel you do. I know CC is your marquee event but I hope you keep supporting Emerson as you do.
My guys and girls, bowled your guts out...super proud.

GO WERRIBEE!

Hopefully Lee puts them up

What a great event. Thouroughly enjoyed the competition and yes the condition was "interesting" but not that hard that a shot couldnt be found. I do hope the country guys keep supporting Emerson. Long travel for you guys and i hope you all arrived home safely. See you all next year i hope

A very enjoyable weekend. Well done to Lee and her team on a well run weekend when no problems at all.

As for the pattern, I dont think the pattern was tough, it was more people's timing was out because of the approaches being so sticky and bowlers losing confidence in their shot. You didnt know if you were going to stick and fall over or slide. But yes there was a line if you could find it.

A big thanks to Lee and her team for the weekend. A lot of people would have no idea how much effort goes into running an event like this and I think the smooth running of the event is testament to you and your team.

Congratulations goes to the Werribee men and women on the victories. Both were well deserving winners.

This is the best teams format available. Emphasis on winning games and overalls - which is what it's all about!

Pattern wasn't easy, but was playable. Averages were low, which places a focus on shot making and sparing (which is what the sport should be about!). The later was something that was done poorly by a large number of bowlers.

Looking forward to Emerson 2013. Really enjoy catching up with the country bowlers I don't get to see regularly enough.

How does mowell get the final when they fail to put a team in? Dosen't bother me just seems odd.
