Hi Lee

Just a suggestion. Highway to hell is supposedly the toughest flattest pattern of the 4 posted. Why not make that one the pattern used for the finals.

Hey Robbie.....bring it on. Looking forward to it. Cheers mate.

Dinesh,

My thoughts on why Highway to hell is being used in qualifying rather then the finals is because the organisers of the event want to see the highest skilled players to the final. I also believe and correct me if I am wrong, but the finals will be filmed on the Tenpin Bowling show, if this is the case then a higher scoring final will build a great atmosphere for spectators and make for better filming, which all boosts bowlings entertainment profile.

my thoughts anyway!

Hi Matt

Good point. Didn't think of that. Watching (hopefully playing in) the finals will make for better viewing if the scores are up and the bowlers are bringing the ball back from the edge.
Suggestion withdrawn

Think you might have picked that in one Matt. Make it hard to make the cut and then give the most entertaining pattern for the final. Last thing we want is a bunch of 160's and 170's for the TV Show. By the same token, it will still be tough to score, but at least it will be probably the most scoreable of the 4 conditions.

Amf HPL's from what I have been told.

They were wood up to about 18 months ago.
Now they are wood with synthetic overlay.
