See, there's a good thing about me not having friends...you end up getting sucked into going to weddings. Which is like a half step ahead of going to a funeral in my book.

All hope is not lost, you have a few months to get them mad at each other
Can't they change the DATE??? Do they know it conflicts with this Epic Wood tournament! Was looking forward to maybe taking you on too!! Are you sure this is not just an excuse?? LOL Do you in REALITY FEAR Aslan, and Ice on WOOD??
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
Do what your heart says it right,,,, (BOWL),,, this ,,,, THIS is BIGGER then a fricken wedding!!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
HOW ABOUT THIS IDEA for the
How about 3 pairs of different oil patterns!! I talked to Chris, and Lee the managers of this fine wood establishment, come up with a novel idea that we could do in this epic tournament.
3 different patterns on the six lanes: Anyone else like the idea?
Say lane 1 and 2, 35 foot Red pattern?
Say lane 3 and 4 42 foot Red pattern?
Say lane lane 5 and 6, US Open pattern
I think this would be a FIRST in regards to a tournament on a 6 lane wooden alley! For some of you techno guys that recognize this oil machine, I am not sure of all the possibilities
Probably the only FAIR way to do the 3 patterns would be all six lanes oiled with the same pattern, have our 3 games, then a break while Chris and Lee put down the second pattern,,,, bowl 3 games, then the final pattern and bowl 3 games.
ICE is open to what ever pattern we all decide to use.
The important thing is I need to know how many are going to TAKE UP this Challenge! Remember I am taking care of this whole tournament in regards to renting the alley!
You would just need to find a way out here, and lodging!
June 13th is a long ways off, but it will be here before you know it.
If I find out there is a lack of interest, I will still rent the place, so NO Big Deal! My boys birthdays are June, July and August, it will be their birthday present.
I am open to the idea, ((((as much as I hate it grrrrr))))) of using a handicap based on best average of 2013-14.
Maybe a Handicap championship, along with a Scratch..... That too maybe being sort of unique, bragging rights for two categories
With having a Champion in both handicap and scratch, maybe it will be more appealing to more both sexes. So far not one woman has shown any interest in this
REAL MEN and WOMEN Bowl of Wood in Small Towns Tournament!

Don't call it a challenge, and then put out easy red patterns.
A simple thing to do is make each lane flat oil, and make each lane a different length.
Lane 1 50 feet
Lane 2 45 feet
Lane 3 42 feet
Lane 4 36 feet
Lane 5 30 feet
Lane 6 24 feet
Then each game is played where frame 1 is bowled on Lane 1, Frame 2, on Lane 2, Frame 3 on Lane 3 etc, Frame 7 back on Lane 1.
Oh and screw the machine, have them use the bug sprayer.
The normal way of determining an average is the highest with 21 games or more.
If you just take highest, VDubx is totally screwed, his 800 was as a sub, so his highest average is something like 268 for 3 games.
A better way is to take the composite average. The sample size for many people goes up significantly.
LOL, now although the following posts were HIGHLY entertaining this one, by far, is the best.
I am a little confused by all the rules and back room deals that went on to do the first tournament in Vegas. I have a problem with rules and authority in general so rescind my rights, likeness and/or participation in anything remotely related to this make the rules up as you go tourney. My future participation will be as a free spirit not attached to the institution or the governing policies. Therefore my thoughts are:
1. LET'S GET IT ON with this Iceman has a woody tournament. Throw some corn fields, cheap strippers, sheep and an adult book store in we got us a real down home redneck midwest party.
2. When the "official" part II of Vegas is announced by Rob, the deserving champion, I will gladly take part in that too, if it is within my means and Aslan doesn't book my travel because I can't afford his type of VIP overpriced travel accommodations - I didn't pay $1,054 to go from DTW-LAS or anywhere close.
They probably assumed people flying from Detroit couldn't afford $1050.
As to my "vote" on Iceman's "Tournament in a Barn"...I think you just put down the USBC Red, White, and Blue patterns. Not "too" challenging...but not a THS. And it's even patriotic.
