hello everyone. I'm sure everyone know about the 700,000 amf tournament. If you don't then go here to find out http://tournament.amf.com/
anyways I have a concern in regard to the district final location. Each year it has been at the same location. I'm in California if any of that matters.
I'm in Fresno and the district final each year is in Riverside, CA. So any bowling center south of Fresno goes to Riverside, CA. I don't have a problem with it for one year but shouldn't the location of the District Final change each year so that it gives the other center an opportunity to host it.
The distance and travel cost involve is also another issue. I mean for anyone from Fresno or Visialia, it is almost a 4.5 hour drive!! 310 miles. I just feel that its unfair to make everyone drive to the same location each year. Whether it be from Fresno, from San Diego, from LA, etc...It should be changed each year to make it fair.
I notice that bowler from that same center usually bowl better than other due to the fact that its their home court. I think it gives those bowler an advantage over other. This can be seen from the result each year. Last year I believe 6 riverside bowler out of 12 made it into the money. 2 out of the 4 spot to go to vegas was taken from someone at the same center.
I'm sure if the location of the district final is moved around, it would be different and provide a fair advantage to everyone.
I'm wondering if and how we can put our voice in and let the center vote to make a change. Is it possible for the center to pick. I mean in Fresno we are in the middle so we should have a choice whether to bowl down South or join the one District Final up north.
I don't know, if it doesn't change next year, I guess I won't participate anymore. What are your thoughts?
