We are only one day removed from tryouts, and there already seems to be some confusion as to who the teams will be. Now, I know that this is in part due to the Valenta / Burrows situation, seeing as we don't know if both, either, or neither will be eligible. I have heard so many different possible situations for who could go, and who could not. My suggestion is for you, Randy. After we take out the ineligible's, go straight down the list. Take 6 and 6, or 8 and 8. However many YOU want to take. But please do not, by any means, skip over anyone. If someone bowled all 32 games, worked as hard as the rest of us, and finished at the top, don't skip over them. They deserve to go to Milwuakee as much as the rest of us. This team is in need of some serious, serious leadership. I don't know who is going to be the one to step up and lead it, but we need someone. To end this post, I want anyone who reads this to know that this is not directed at anyone inparticular. We do not need any more drama than we already have, and I am definitely not going to add fuel to that fire. Just realize that this is my opinion, and if anyone responds to this dont post and tell me how wrong I am. But feel free to offer your opinion. Not everything has to be a white and black, cut and dry situation.
I understand the confusion, but what I said was that the top 12 eligible bowlers at least are going. I have been consistent from the start. I reserve the right to choose one or two others if the situation arises. The girls team is close to set with the top 13 going. With the men's team, we just have to wait and see who is eligible.

The plan is to take all available girls to the three tournaments following Milwaukee (Oct 13-14, Oct 20-21, Oct 27-28) based on entry availability.
Practice Tuesday (9/11) for the ladies is optional (heal those thumbs!), but I'll see everyone in the pro shop on Thursday at 930pm. Call or e-mail with any questions.
