Week 1:
The pattern was the EBT Neptune 45', which is a long flat sport pattern that is symmetrical with a high volume of oil.

For the most part it played about how my research said it would. You throw it too far outside the balls not coming back, being long you needed to play it closer to the pocket and as the night goes on the middle will break down.
I started of with my Paranoia, I had sanded it with 600 grit followed by a light touch of 1000 grit. Which seemed about right, the ball reacted well.
The main problems was I too was rigid in my play and was pulling my shots, I had to loosened my swing up.
Also my speed was too slow, which hurt my spare shooting. I figured with a heavy oil I didn't want to be throwing too hard.
While the pattern was long, I don't think it was as "Heavy oil" as the sheets said it was (Which I still think the machine is not putting out the oil the way it should, but without taping the lanes theres no way to know.).
The lanes started breaking down toward the center and I was able to switch to my Pyramid Curse.
Here's my scores, my teammates fared about the same. Someone said there was a 700 shot but I don't know by who.
