I never heard of the ABA, that might be part of the problem. There are no bowlers at the tournaments in Atlanta because most of the tournament directors don't know what they are doing. The handicap systems they use stop at 210. Two teams with the same combined average total get different handicaps. I'm a 215 average bowler, I give pins to someone 25 pins lower than me but what do I get from someone 25 pins higher than me, and don't give me the scratch bowler BS. The prize funds, if guaranteed punish the bowler if entries are low. Sandbaggers don't get re-rated. In scratch tournaments lanes with poles and walls aren't taken out of the mix, some bowlers get them, some don't. Eight bowlers on a pair for eight games, 10 lanes not in use, no re-oil. Tournament bowling in Atlanta is 30-40 years in the past.
Just so I understand....you've never averaged over 200...and you have a 299 to your name...and you're calling people out? What an EPIC failure....
I bowl 3 games a week because I have two kids, so I rarely bowl tournaments, but when I do venture out I run chumps like you over. If I do bowl a rare tourney nowadays I'm definitely not going to give some douchebag like you 30 pins so you can throw some hook in a box all over the place and talk s#@t about it.
You should leave your buddy "handicap" at home before you start talking about "shoe up or shut up".
Yes I truely understand where some of you are coming from but. The main thing that got me going was that I shot one big game and half the bowling center came over to watch like they had never seen big scores before. Thats why things seemed out of place. I would love to come to a RBT event. Mr. Randy Russell......dude really.......You are a THB......man what is your deal with me? Who gives a shit if you can avg. 220+ on a house shot that Ray Charles strikes on, Really dude. Its BS like that is why I just pot bowl and tourney bowl anymore. Leagues are for fun not to prove how good you can avg. If you want patches and awards go ahead LOL......matter fact since you attacked me on this post like that. I would be glad take weekend and drive to your local center and bowl lets say 100 a game, b/c thats what chumps like me do LOL. But everyone makes a valid point. I understand and respect where everyone is coming from. Its just there is no scratch in columbia SC, we have a sweeper in Charleston and other than that, we pot bowl on tues. but if you shoot 1 big score the house bowlers back out and then its down to 3 or 4 as usual. I didnt know the ABA didnt advertise well down there. What was real funny was the guy who ran the shop that sat. in ATL he said to come bowl RBT but he didnt like the payout.

Chris......most handicappers that support the ABA don't see many "big" games on the shots they bowl on...if the locals don't know much about the tournament, how can you expect them to show up and bowl? Just my opinion, but if the ABA were coming down to Atlanta more often, more bowlers would show up and bowl once the word got out a bit. This tournament was I believe their first in GA.
If it's action you want, I'm sure you can drive to Atlanta any Sunday and get what you want...or you can come to Greenville and get some as well...I know one person who would be interested....and I assure you I am a THB as well :)
Randy..... for the most part it is tough to make good money there unless you finish 1-2, but they did open a scratch division, doesn't pay much ($250-350 b.o.e), but the competition is for the most part scarce at best. As for why I don't bowl them anymore...not really worth getting into, I bowled the ones in my backyard and did well for a few tournaments in a row and made apparently too much cash for their liking.

You and your 5 pins a game was scaring all the entries Gil.
