I did not enjoy the new change in PBA. It's not the kind of way that you should play bowling. The spectators were talking during every shot. That really should not happen, it throws off the bowler. I get it, they're pros, but even they cant block out 100 fans all talking, laughing, and yelling when they're trying to bowl.
About half of the people there, spectators and bowlers, were probably drunk. We all know Pete Weber was.
They're trying to increase the popularity of the game, but you really can't do that. Bowling is not a sport like baseball or soccer or football. Many people are just OK with sports like that. But with bowling, its either you love it, or you hate it. There's no in-between. I agree with them trying to increase the popularity, but I don't think it will work. And even if it does, with the way they're going, it's going to kill the spirit and love of the game.
And that 5 open frame nonsense in the first match was quite funny to see. I was almost on the floor.
