For our California and Oklahoma contingent:
The way this will work under the new system (for physical pairings):
Oklahoma:
I will draw a center for tcc and for Jeral. If it's the same center, thats where they bowl. If it's 2 different centers, they have to pick one and bowl there.
California:
- I will draw a center for each person.
- If your partner you're paired with and you both get the same center...thats where you both bowl.
- If you and your partner get different centers but BOTH are on your lists...you get to choose. If you can't agree, tie goes to Bunny (the lady card). If it's the other physical pairing (that has no lady), tie goes to the center midway midway between.
Example:
- Bunny draws AMF Carter; paired with Aslan; draws Concourse. They agree or if NOT...Bunny wins, they bowl AMF Carter.
- MWhite draws Arlington, ZDawg draws San Diego Bowl....greater than 45 miles...bowling together is OPTIONAL.
- OR Mwhite draws Cal Oaks Bowl; Zdawg draws San Diego....they bowl Cal Oaks (it's midway between them). If ZDawg had drawn Cal Oaks and MWhite drawn Arlington...it would be Cal Oaks (it's midway between them). Also realize, this is the only way you'll bowl a center more than ONCE between now and October. I will only draw a center PER PERSON once....but if it's on your physical partner's list...even if you already drew it on your list...it's still a valid place to bowl. Thats a "slight" advantage to the person that might get to bowl the same place twice...but it makes up for the physical pairing thing being kind've a hassle.
- IF you get centers drawn NOT on each other's lists....then physical pairing is optional.
Example:
- Bunny draws Linbrook, Aslan draws Titan Bowl....Bunny doesn't have Titan Bowl on her list...Aslan doesn't have Linbrook...so a physical meeting is optional. (I would likely go bowl at Linbrook)
- ZDawg draws Temecula Lanes; MWhite draws Norco....EVEN THOUGH Temecula Lanes is midway between them...bowling together is OPTIONAL because Norco isn't on ZDawg's list and Temecula Lanes sure as HECK isn't going to be on MWhite's list.
However, I ask that you try to bowl together if you CAN. Don't intentionally pick centers as far away from others as possible so you'll never have to get paired. And if you have the OPTION...and the center is not a huge inconvenience....give it a shot!! Most centers that MWhite or Bunny picks....I'll have no problem going to. And if ZDawg has any on his list that are a reasonable driving distance...I'll make the trip. I still think there's value in the physical pairing when possible.
Any questions...go ahead and ask them over on the other "Virtual Tour" discussion thread.
