    They are creating higher scores and keeping the games closer. If you go all game and only throw 1 9/ in the say 5th frame you roll a 289. The old way ia a 279. The score is inflated 10 pins.

    No tenth frame drama? 5 of the 6 games came down to the tenth frame where a strike was needed. Belmo was too careful and left the 4-10 split. Convert and they tie with a Fagan strike.
    As for league bowlers not knowing how to score, shame on them but it's true. But these changes are attempts to get the general public interested and simplifying the scoring was a huge concern during international polls.
    Everybody wants changes to help the sport until charges are attempted.
    Personally, I would love to try a summer league with this scoring system. It takes the game as a whole and not just small segments of it to determine a winner. As for the inflated scores, look at leagues. Those are inflated by the conditions. It's keeping up with the pace, whatever it may be that matters and not the scoring pace itself.

    I wonder how the WBT scoring would work in a handicap league/tournament or if it would even be possible.
