ABT Tourney frustration

[J Anderson]

Still, that was an ignorant comment. there are ways Aslan could of stated how shady a tournament was because it seemed to run by relatives or bowling buddies.

I consider myself Pacific Islander with Asian roots (blood line on my fathers side started in southern Italy) and I'm not sensitive to racial remarks towards me even though my parents suffered racially moving to America after WWII. I'm just too laid back to waste my time on ignorance..

where I bowl, my people's be shady, so are white dudes, black dudes, and some need to be black balled or banned. You see, bowling will have baggers, the system encourages it..

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.

I made the same mistake and referenced him in a comment a while back.

When considering race, I pretty much consider everyone here members of the bowling race, it's really all that matters.

"Handicapped events are prone to be won by sandbaggers." Captain Obvious.

Not every one in the human race is humane...

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

There are actually quite a few that do the ones around here as well as run it.

Robert are you referring to Asians or sandbaggers? Be careful or you will get in trouble with the super duper senior moderator.
