    Default Is the PBA ruining itself?

    I don't know if anyone has noticed the schedule for this year, but can they realistically call it a tour? Part of the appeal was the pro-am events where the masses could meet and bowl with the pros.

    In regards to the sponsorship fees, they have lost 3 ball makers over the last few years with Visionary, Morich, and this year Global 900 all backing out.

    I am not paying to watch bowling online via the XtraFrame.

    they are probably trying to cut costs by not traveling as much, which is in turn hurting them. a deadly cycle perhaps?

    Yes, they are ruining themselves. Tour? Since when does playing in one town count as a tour?

    Maybe they call going from one end of the house to the
    other end of the house when they have to change lanes
    a tour.
