Hi CT,
Mate, had a look it seems to be a typo error on my part, which i did not check and no one has picked until now, i did this at the same time as doing different format synarios, so it is to do when you look at numbers all day.
the game rate was based at $5, at 48 bowlers so with that and the small amount of sponsorship, the prize fund was just over $7000 and would be able top up some the placing by a few dollars,but with know only having 40 with 5 people pulling out, i am still trying to get more money for sponsorship, which is very very hard to do, and hopefully i may be able to get the game price reduced, which will not change the placing payouts, and we will be all good.
it is a shame people dont want to come, mayfield is a one off center with on the top ball returns, which changes they way you approch your game, and the pattern we are laying down does accomodate that fact, with the lane surface and condition we have you dont need to go on the gutter as a lot of people want to do.
and if you are a big drifter, then you make the adjustments need, as Mick has said he drifts 20 boards and has no problem, anyone can do it,
You should see if you can drag mr doust in coming, i think he would enjoy it, he would be able to give the ball a good old twik up the boards,
cheers,
