Well, this is going to be a little shorter than what i had hoped for. But seeing as its past midnight and i want to get this in before i start bowling, ill just make a quick post.
This weekend is the JBT invitational weekend. Regular Event on saturday and the actual invite on sunday. They are going to be held at triangle bowl, which if youve been keeping up, is where we recently bowled the all star tournament. Triangle is a modern-retro type center with old style type feel to it mixed in with newer scoring and synthetic lanes.
Saturday is like i said a regular season stop. Only difference is top 10 make it to invitational instead of the usual 5. Cant really speculate on the pattern. I am hoping for a shorter pattern as we havent really bowled on those this year.
Sunday is the invitational (im really getting tired of typing that comepletely.) Qualifying then cut to top 16 including exempts, then single game triple elimination bracket. fun fun fun. I bowled the Mojave invite a few weeks back and this triple elimination is a grinder. You are never out until you are out. Winning your matches is also key. Marshall Kent went undefeated last year in the invite, making it so he only had to win 1 game, or could lose 2 games. Big big advantage.
You can pretty much expect a tough shot for Sunday. Either a PBA pattern or Kegel Sport shot. I think last year was on dead mans curve or something to that nature. The mojave was on the team usa trials long from 2008. (this actually backfired as the cut was somewhere in the +120's that day. weird eh?.) Seeing how this format could make way for a long day, i would assume that a longer or heavier pattern will be used. I dont know what Triangle can lay out, but my money is on either Kegel's Dead Mans Curve or PBA's Shark.
Just another thing to note i was able to get my HY-road drilled today so i will have that for this weekend. Cant really say i like/hate it because i have yet to throw it on something that will give me a read. Anyway, have a good night.
