Low turn out may very well have been due to the weather forecast. It also might be due to COVID either with people having it, or being exposed to it and having to quarantine, or people with higher risk factors deciding to stay home. Most likely at least to my mind is the THS bowler’s reluctance to bowl on anything other than an easy house shot. If the entry fee was relatively high, the guys who know they’re not likely to score well on a tough shot think there’s no sense in just donating to the prize fund and stay home. That leaves the best bowlers and the cockeyed optimists in the field. And since it was the same pattern as last year those good bowlers are a bit better at daling with the pattern and cut line oves higher.
