I need new glasses I thought his name was ASIAN you mean it is ASLAN? Darn.
Any game that uses a handicap system will be prone to sandbagging. And since humans are not robots, bowlers not not always score within five pins of their average. This leads to many people being accused of being sandbaggers when they are only having a really good or a really bad day. Throw in the fact that most leagues, even social/recreational leagues are paying out prize money, and you have a lot of temptation to sandbag, a few who are adept at 'average management', some who are blatantly bagging and a fair number of innocents being falsely accused.

NTB, you probably want to grow a skin around Aslan. He's not politically correct, doesn't tend to sugar coat things, and my guess is won't apologize for anything he says on here. Wish we had more like him.
Aslan, if you make it near Milwaukee, I'd be honored to throw a couple with you. Or against you!

ABT around here uses sport patterns. But like everywhere else and most handicap tournaments there are baggers everywhere.
Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation

Weird that someone brought up the asian thing lol. Matter of fact, there were quite a few of these bowlers that were in fact asian. Although most of them threw a great ball (super smooth!). It just blew my mind on the handicap is all. Might go down in a few weeks and try it again (same house). Now that I know what to expect both shot wise and bowler wise, maybe I would get so pissed off lol
