i dont even remember, but he is a lefty with an outside in shot, pretty finesse.

when i was at my peak i was in the low 200's average and he would pretty consistently beat me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Best of luck to him. I know it takes a lot to compete in bowling. I am on my school team and 1 other league. carry a 200 average on school team and high 180s for now in other league.

i believe 14 games of qualifying, they have a morning block and then a night block, 7 games each

http://www.pba.com/pbatour/tournament.asp?ID=1569 thats the tourny info right there, guess there is only 6 games of qualifying today through thursday then they cut it to the top 25%, doesn't say which pattern is being used.

he needs to average about a 220 to get close to the cut line for 6. Do these things run like a sweeper or do they stay on a set of lanes permanenly?
