I have to say, thanks to all whom responded regarding the USBC experience I just went through. I got many views and advice, along with suggestions. This is turning into a great site with a wealth of input from everyone - I will greatly appreciate all the advice/suggestions and of course critiques from all.
I posted a similiar post on 2 other bowling sites (Not going to mention them), and got many views, but no responses. They were too busy talking about the tainted super bowl (

) - Sorry had to say it. It's in all sports I'm sure.
Just to add - I did speak with the local association today and he simply asked me to come up with the ideal tournament breakdown and send it to him. This is a great ideal, but feel it was a good question for him to keep me busy for a few months.
My response will incorporate the USBC Nationals. lol Bring it locally so others can get experience before spending a lot of money to go struggle for 2 days. (Fedx equipment, hope it gets there, travel arrangments, etc) I can struggle on my own here dealing with the softened shots and 180 bowlers bowling 750's. I would rather struggle against the lanes, it's then me and the lanes, no other excuses.
