1st Annual BowlingBoards.com Virtual Tour!!!

[Mike White]

So, just to be clear...yes, you'll (Mike) be able to bowl whatever hour of the day you want with no physical constraints of having to bowl with someone "unless" you draw me and at least one of us draws Arlington.

This is far from being "clear".

If for example, I draw Foothill, and you draw Arlington, we have to bowl together?

That doesn't seem to make much sense.

If I have to bowl at Arlington, I'm most likely going to do so on a Tuesday, or Thursday at about 3 pm.

Your rules have made selection of day and time a significant skill in this competition.

It's fairly clear. If I draw you (physical pairing)…the only way we MUST bowl together is if one of us draws Arlington. Otherwise…bowl at the center you draw whenever your little heart desires. BUT….if we draw Arlington…we have to come up with a plan to meet up and bowl. I'm willing to work to get that done if you are. But yeah, if you say, "I'll meet ya to bowl…but it has to be 3:35PM on this Tuesday"…thats gonna be a little tough on me. Now…if you have a legitimate reason…then cool. Maybe you're going to Cancun for the month and thats the last day you can do it?? Exceptions can be made. But if you're just doing it to avoid a physical pairing OR to try to optimize lane conditions….thats not as valid an excuse…and would require ZDawg/noeymc/Mudpuppy approval.

Besides…maybe I'll make it worth your while and get a ball or 2 drilled.

Your rules have made selection of day and time a significant skill in this competition.

It's also made taking advantage of favorable house conditions less possible.

But don't count your chickens just yet Mr. White. I know the thought of me taking you down in your own house scares the daylights out of you…but we haven't been paired yet. Maybe you luck out and I draw Bunny. Maybe neither of us draw Arlington. Rest easy….for now...

Once again, I have virtually no idea what you're talking about.

So, did you bowl at your designated center or not? Do you have any printout? A photo of the scores on the screen? I don't have an e-mail from you. Did you send it to the right e-mail? ASLAN_SUPREME@YAHOO.COM???

Deadline is here…noeymc?? tr33frog??? J-Dilly????

[noeymc]

All I'm looking for is equal treatment for everyone under the rules.

For the person who lives in a area by themselves, every month they can schedule their time independent of anyone else.

But if there is another person in their area, there will be months where the physical pairing limits their ability to schedule their time.

That isn't equal treatment.

Okay. I got it. I'll accept it pending verification that there was no open bowling last night at Seven Hills. I can't imagine an alley not having open bowling on a Friday night at 7PM…but, classy granny had to have a re-draw because her original pick didn't open before 5PM which I also thought had to be a mistake and…nope…it was true. But I did get the scores.

Only outstanding question…where did you actually bowl? It doesn't say it on the scoresheet.

As to your home center…this is extremely confusing. Originally you listed:

- Brusnwick Zone Center Ridge
- Buckeye Lanes

Yet you now say your home center is Rebman's.

Yet your only center listed on USBC is "Black River Lanes". And despite "Black River Lanes" being listed as your home USBC center…it's NOT listed when you search the USBC FOR centers…so is it called a different name???

As of right now…your home centers are Buckeye and Brunswick Zone Center Ridge. However, I'm willing to change that to "Black River" if you can tell me what other name it apparently goes by since that IS the OFFICIAL alley you have listed as bowling leagues at last season.

All I'm looking for is equal treatment for everyone under the rules.

But if there is another person in their area, there will be months where the physical pairing limits their ability to schedule their time.

That IS true. Physical pairing folks (Jeral, tcc, ME, YOU, and Bunny) are at a "slight" disadvantage the way the system is set up. To off set that, we are given one advantage the rest of the folks don't have…which is more "choice" in assigned centers. Granted, that advantage has been reduced by allowing people to give a list of 6 acceptable centers…but, we still have the advantage of being able to "choose" to bowl at one place or another…most people are stuck with what they're assigned.

So by us (me, you, Bunny) having 6 centers each…with only 3 overlapping…we actually have 15 centers to choose from when we're paired…most people only have 6. And important point…this isn't a rule aimed specifically at MWhite…it's a rule that myself and Bunny and tccstdent and Jeral all follow as well. I'd love for the tournament to be live as I've said before…but the physical pairing thing is sort of a remnant or byproduct of what the tournament was originally designed for and how it got twisted into this "virtual thing".

[noeymc]

black river closed and for some reason my name is on there 2 times 1 for this year and one for last year idk also i never said buckeye is my home center please provide a quote to that

BZ i sub there for about 2-3 months for my dude who had surgery

[Aslan]

Okay. Rebmans it is. And that solves the "Black River" mystery.

[noeymc]
