Why can't we get anywhere near a full squad for a tournament, even when we set such low expectations? I'll tell you one reason: The only center that promotes a tournament is the host center. Judging by recent tournament numbers we can see that that is working.. NOT.
I went into cannington on friday to get an entry form for the Winter Classic(?) at rockingham but they didn't have any, but they had some for some interstate tournament???. When I asked for details, no one knew anything about it so I had to call rockingham. I would have thought 2 AMF centers would let each other know about these things?
Perhaps if bowling centers communicate with other and all push each others tournaments we might get some new bowlers and bigger fields in tournaments. At the moment it seems as each center lives in its own little world and trys keep bowlers in their own center. Well if we keep that up we can forget bowling ever becoming a recognised sport.
As a junior, I was never informed about tournaments so I only bowled in a handfull of tournaments in total even though I was bowling since age 10. I only found out what President shield was because Bonita subbed in my team once and told me I should try out.
Surely its not that hard to talk up tournaments just before leagues start is it?
Without tournaments made publicly known about, there would be no role models for juniors and whats a sport with out role models? Just a game you play on a friday / saturday night.
