I am sorry to say that at this point the ROSEMOUNT CUP 2003 will NOT be going ahead.
The crew at Rosemount Bowl and myself are sorry to say that without the support from the local bowlers, we are unable to guarantee a full field. It would be unfair to expect the bowlers from the East Coast to book and pay for airfares on the chance that it may or amy not go ahead.
If the local Perth bowlers were to support and reply to this thread then maybe we can do something about it.
Please remember that Steve and Col run this tournament at a loss as no games rates are charged. The total Prizefund collected is returned to the bowlers. Find another Tournament in WA that does this.
And we sit around and wonder what is happening to our game and our tournaments.
In 1985, when I arrived in Perth, the was a Scratch Tournament about every second week. 26 a Year. Now we will have 3. Perth Cup, Bunbury Cup and Gold Cup.
Well lets hope we can generate some interest, and soon.

Bunbury Cup
Any idea of when bunbury cup is on, My uncle lives in bunbury and ive been wanting to go over and see him. Might be a good chance to kill two birds with one stone. Any info would be helpful.

Hypercell = Hyperhook!
Thats terrible news, another classic event bites the dust. It wasn't even about the money, the tournament enviroment, staff, lane conditions, darts game, etc all contributed to 3 days of fun and leisure. I was fortunate to bowl in 1 event, ahhhh the memories.
Ruining the lefties streak of winning darts, trying Stax dodgy home brew, falling from 1st to 7th over 3 days of bowling, cherished memories I won't forget.
Looks like I won't be over to sunny Perth until to May, see you guys in Adelaide (we'll have a beer to drown the sorrows).

VERY SAD
Extremely Sad news
Col, Steve along with Stax & co helping they all ran a great event
Probably the wettest tourney going inthe country was always one draw card
But ur right George the fun & games that went on around the event was fantastic Golfing Darting Drinking Cards or just generally sitting around having a gas bag
And Stax is right they raised no income from lineage a brave move but a move they wanted to do to have a premier event in their house
They also sponsored a few bowlers so even if they got a full field they were still kicking in ontop of the entire lineage
But the number one question is how do u attract more bowlers to bowl in that type of event in Perth
Perhaps have top 12 and top 4 under 175 average bowlers to cut or top 3 and top junior
Hopefully one way or another it will be back on next year

damn the first rosemount cup I was able to enter and it looks like it's not even gonna happen im very dissapointed wot caused this sudden lack of interest?
theres only 2 major singles tournements i can get to that i am aware of perth cup and rosemount cup and they're the only opportunities i feel i really have to compete against top level bowlers eg. brenton davey, george frilingos, micheal muir and all the others (you know who you are) on a one to one basis without leaving the state if the rosemount cup were to disappear what is a young bowler like me supposed to do
i think a lot of the other young bowlers feel the same way
I just hope you can keep it running
anyway thats my 2 cents cyas

Damn, that is a shame!! Even though im fairly new to bowling I wouldn't have minded at having a go at the Rosemount cup. Its a pity. Oh well, maybe next year if this one stays dead.

Theres a session that I once heard at a Seminar that always stuck in my mind when it came to running a Business.
In brief,there are only two types that run this planet.
Accountants...Salespeople.
When there is a crisis,an Accountant implodes,and a salesperson explodes.
The accountant tightens the ship,downsize the operation,cut costs.
The Salesperson sets up better sails,seeks new waters.
The Rosemount Cup decision to me sounds like it was an Accountant one.
Its been given a redundacy pay off.
So whats the problem..
Im writing this because,as all the guys know,its not just about bowling,its a Fubar type t,ment.Golf ,drinking,cards,drinking,eating out,drinking,laughing,etc.
I know what the major problem is from what ..185---195 av. bowlers have said to me when ive asked them through the years ,why they werent entering.
Too much oil.
True or false.....True.
The Rosemount Cup is no longer.
Not enough LOCAL support.
The Salesperson gives it one last shot.
He asks the accountant to give him figures.
Of the 60-80 bowlers( local ) who enter the Perth Cup(higher scoring conditions)..how many of those bowl in the Rosemont Cup.
15--20%..Then Houston we have a problem.
Give the locals what they want, Value for their entry fee..block the crap out of the lanes..give every 185--195 av. bowler the chance to shot a 200 av. plus...put a smile on their dial.
You av.210 and dont make the cut..but boy you had some great games.lots a strikes.Pat on the back for a 300.
Same prize fund..get the message out..came and practice on blocked lanes.
What have you got to lose.
Come on Rosemount..youve thrown in the towel without even hopping on the ship.
No entry forms to test the water...ah sorry..i forgot about the Accountants crystal ball..
Just get the F.......g thing rolling..theres time.

In reply top Stax's comment about very few scratch events in perth. I for one, would like to try and rectify that problem.
An idea that we here at Kelmscott Tenpin Bowl has came up with is to hold a scratch skins event. on the same weekend as allstars open (the sunday following) Beat the field by more than ten pins win the jackpot, beath the field but not more than 10 pins win the round prize.
any idea's or takers, please reply. any other formats we are open for discussion.
Scratch bowlers unite
Also, it would be good to know that we (Kelmscott Tenpin Bowl) can replicate any U.S. PBA, FIQ tournament oiling pattern.
I look forward to your reply
