    Unless you are bowling in specific tournaments, like the USBC open tournament, this may not be common knowledge. When we went this year had three of our teammates get re-rated (two from high 220s to low 240s, and one from high 210s to low 230s) and they didn't know this until we checked in. Granted it didn't matter since we were already in the top division, but I know they bowl in local association tournaments and I don't think it changed for those.

    Actually to be technical, Freedom of Speech is in the 1st Amendment (the first 10 amendments make up the Bill of Rights). The Bill of Rights only protects us from the government so in a private setting such as this, freedom of speech does not apply

    ok, now back to bowling...we have a guy in our league that throws a perfectly straight ball at about 20 MPH. He runs to the line and lets it rip. No hook at all. And he has a spare ball that he uses for spares...lol

    I will respond to you as you are being respectful and decent and i appreciate that. You seem to have honor and integrity. As far as I know none got rerated. Yes they do have an advantage and it is not fair for any of you who bowl in those events every year. I bowled a couple of events and bowled to my ability, i gave it my all, i done my best, but the ones who win seem to mysteriously bowl 100+ pins over their average.

    Another person above your post said i'm just here to troll. I came here and right off the bat got attacked for telling the truth about some things that go on here. Right from the start i got nailed as being a liar which i am not, and i don't appreciate being called one.

    But as for you fordman1, yes sir they have an advantage and that is why i don't bowl in handicap tournaments as i see what is going on. The big dog here as i will call him, tried to get me to join them in their sandbagging scam. I turned in my notice and quit and never looked back. It is wrong and i will not be a part of it.

    @TTREX will definitely agree with you about many of the handicap tournaments being a little skewed at times (basically as I have seen with any ABT event you get matched up on a sport shot with either those who intentionally lower their average in league to gain an advantage in these events or those who throw in a manner that takes the lane out of the game).

    Just to be clear, wasn't saying you were only here to troll. Was just saying that with some of the feedback about comments it was starting to seem that way - I really don't have any problem with you, if we want to keep talking about that stuff above just direct message me so others don't have to see it all.

    I appreciate that AlazySavage, sent you a friend request if that is alright. Thanks for clearing that up. ..I will stop talking about this stuff in public, you have a great idea. Thanks again.

    You don't seem to like anything I post be it technical or comedy. Serious or not so serious. So since you are the posting God and know it all then teach us how to post, teach us how to properly post your way as your way seems to be the only way.

    I guess we should just come once a month, week, year?? Since you are so afraid someone might win a bowling ball which I do not want to win a bowling ball, I am not here to win a bowling ball and never have expected to.

    So teach us Mr Post master, how shall we post??

    This is a forum where people start threads, and others make comments, but you seem to have a problem with that....Flooding you call it. No wonder the site is not as busy as it should be. I guess we should leave it alone and let it be boring so you can be happy. Well that's fine if that is what you want, you can have it as i would rather interact with people who are serious about bowling rather than being control freaks trying to stop people from having interaction and learning something from each other.

    BTW...This post was meant to be funny, a place for people to post what they think a sandbagger is. That is all, nothing more, thanks for ruining it.
    TTrex I'm not a communist who doesn't believe in freedom of speech or a Control freak, But I am the moderator on this site. I try to keep thing's on topic and organized and open warfare from breaking out between users.

    Also I and no one else here is trying to stop people from having interaction and learning something from each other. That why posts should be relevant, concise and clearly written and th subject title should correctly describe what the post is about.

    Your free to post almost anything you want. If you want to post a top 20 (or a top 100) list of bowling gripes or what flowers you like that's fine by me. But you don't make each individual one a separate post and posting them one right after another every 3 minutes like you did this one (That's flooding and has been done before by people just coming on to try to win a ball by running up a fast post count. So it's discouraged.)

    Also I did't change your posts, Everything you wrote is there I just consolidated a couple of them into one post. In a few cases just I've moved your posts to a more appropriate forum but they are still what you posted.

    You say I'm against bowlers who think differently than I do and I don't like anything you post, That's not true. I've only commented on a few of your posts and Just because I or anyone else have a differing opinion or view about something you said or question it, doesn't mean I or they are against you or bullying you or trying to start a fight.

    Did you expect to come on a internet forum and have everyone just agree with everything you say or not question any of it? If so I can tell you right now that's never going happen.



    I suggest reading "How to Write a Good Forum Post" and the forum rules about posting, They may help.

    Also just to note: sending me (or anyone else) PM's with profanity in them will get you kicked off the board.

    I once bowled with a guy who played video games on his phone between shots, damn if I knew he was sandbagging ......

    I guess his average could have been better after all he only was averaging 255 at the time.


    I once watched him do a TV interview in between the 9th and 10th frame of a league game and then knock down the last 3 strikes for another 300 game

    damn sandbagger
