i would love to bowl mtc but im saving my $300 for my trip overseas the weekend after mtc and have a good break from bowling i think i would get more pleasure in spending my $300 on a holiday because i know i would struggle in the mtc conditions if they r going to be the same as we had in the mtc roll off so all the best to those who bowl in either one
Queens Birthday Marathon @ Chadstone
- Thread starter Icey
- Start date
I think Brendan has sumed it up pretty well, but I still have to have my 5c cents worth!
How can there not be clashes for dates when we have individual bowling centres, MTBA, CTBAM, Victenpin, TBA, ATBSO and all the other tournament bodies interstate searching for dates. Its just not possible!
If anyone thinks AMF hosts an event for greed..then they are well off the mark. Maybe they should look behind the scenes and see how hard centres works at trying to put these events together and the costs.
And for those who think AMF does not care about tournament bowlers they should look at what AMF does do! Vic Grand Prix Curcuit, Super Six Events, Dunn Shield, and of course all those skins and win a spot house tourneys that everyone is so happy to put their hand out and collect from.
So what is a tournament bowler, someone who bowls major events or has a high average? What about the other 98% of league bowlers with lower averages who enjoy tournaments too! Are they tournament bowlers? Of course, just have a look how hard they compete in Star OF The Month and handicap competitions.
And lets not forget the juniors, who are the sports future! don't they like to bowl in tournaments? I am sure they do, just ask any of the 80 juniors that turn up to bowl the Junior Challenge every month! And lets not forget Junior Shield and the house tourney where they are happy winning a $20 Sanity Voucher!
At the end of the day, tournaments are for everyone regardless of age and average, and income and AMF trys its utmost to cater for all bowlers.
As for the MTC, of course its a great event! and still one of the premier events on the bowling calander!
The best bowlers in the country are going to be there, and of course the ones who dont have a chance to cash. They particpate because it is, The Melbourne Cup! and importantly..because they want too!
So is there really a clash? No..because the bowlers who end up at the marathon for whatever reason didn't really want to be at the MTC anyway.
So lets think of all our fellow tournament bowlers, and wish them good luck and enjoy, regardless of where they bowl. After all, its the bowlers who make a tournament great!
