HeHeHe Fairlanes Pattern!!!!!

[You have been Munsoned]

Hey

its happened again.

After all the talk about Canningtons pattern, you would have thought that they would have learned their lesson, but no.

Have a look at the pattern read outs for Fairlanes. I now have to say that i would like to see the TBA TRAIN their lane measurers. Like i have said before, if they can't stick to the rules, then why have them.

For those who cant find it, they have only showed 2 readings from the tapes and the 2nd one is at 22 feet.

Please write you opinion.

It's hard to post your opinion without a little more detail and a copy of the readings.

 

[You have been Munsoned]

how is it hard????

They posted a lane patterns readings, that do not comply to the TBA Policy.
The have taken a reading at 22'.
Also where is the 3rd reading???

This happened with Cannington, is there different rules for WA???

The first day, there were some pretty big scores, now they post a pattern with 3 readings in the right spots, and now the scores are lower. Hmmm, things dont add up.

Anyonw bowling on it, please post your opinions on whether the lanes are different from the 1st to 2nd day.
They shouldn't change too much, cause they are washing and oiling before each squad.

Simple, it's called speculation vs proof. See the difference?

 

[You have been Munsoned]

There was proof.

It is that Both Cannington and now Fairlanes had patterns approved by the TBA that did not fit the rules. ie, they only posted 2 results and the second one was at 22 feet, which is outside the rules. See where i am coming from now.

I just want to see the rules stuck too, but how can a pattern be approved when 1, they do it in the wrong places, and 2. the TBA rep was clever enough to pass it? Have they read the rules in WA??

I may be wrong, and the pattern was legal and everything was hunky dorey, but all the signs point elsewhere at the moment. Bowlers also said that the Cannington was different from day 1 to day 2, and that just happened to conicide with the publishing of the complete pattern, still see where i am coming from.??

The lanes played the same all 3 days, end of story. There is no conspiracy.

Thanks George, but please dont think i am thinking there is a conspiricy.

I dont belive there is, but i want to know what other bowlers think when the people that put down these rules for us to bowl on, and for the centres to create patterns for, dont even follow their own rules in approving a pattern????

And more importantly it has happened twice now, and co-incidently in the same state, with (i am guessing) the same people approving the pattern.

Shouldn't they know the rules. Or is it a case of that the pattern was illegal and they just took the tape a few feet further back to get a legal reading and then put that through as an approved pattern?? I certainly hope not. The reading for the 22 foot mark on one side was on 2.99:1, which a couple of feet down the lane, might have put it over the mark.

Like i said, i hope all was well with it, but i just want to know what other bowlers think of this.

Like George said - nothing much to say about it

The condition was tough but true (to both the left and right - no hand, or style, had an advantage). Its what all tournaments should be like. Perhaps if you actually bowled on the condition roy then you'd be saying something different.

3 tapes as per TBA Perth Cup results page were taken

I took photos

I helped with the reading of the tapes in the lane anaylser.

Readings were taken at 10ft, 27ft ( not 22ft) and 38 ft.

The tapes were taken on the Sunday morning before bowling, as stated on the results web page. It was done only once on Sunday not repeated.

The tapes were were put thru the lane anaylser after bowling had commenced for the day and the results then published unaltered.

End of Story!!!!!!

You still fail to see where iam coming from. You should have posted a copy of the print out. Like i said, pure speculation, which appears to have been corrected.

 

[You have been Munsoned]

The second pattern that was posted was great, it was legal and taken at the correct positions.

it was the pattern that was posted before the tournement that has me confussed. I am not concerned about the pattern that was taken on Sunday.

I have posted the pattern as i made sure that i got a copy of it, before it was removed. And have a look, its at, guess where, 22 feet
Is this enough proof for you??

But something that has me confussed as well, is that it seems that a lot of bowlers wanted this ruling, however no-one seems to care about if it is done correctly or not. Sure, it wasn't the final released pattern during the tournement, however, shouldn't you guys be concerened as well it is isn't done properly before the event??? Like i have said, if the guys that suppositivly went to the centre before the event, took the tape readings and posted the results, and the results were not in the correct places, and they were from the TBA, then dont you think that something isn't right???
