Will post the ladies as soon as possible this evening...taking 14 total to actually bowl. Have updated differentials after this weekend, but want to look deeper since quite a few people either didn't bowl Saturday or didn't bowl much this past weekend.
If you were among the top 16 differentials before Louisville and can't go or have made other plans for Thanksgiving already, please let me know as soon as possible.
...have offered to bring 3 teams thinking that another school like McKendree might be able to bring a 2nd team to fill the blind spots... If that happens, I'd need at least 16 players. No matter what, it will probably be in flux for at least the next 24 hours...
Sorry for the delay...thanks for your patience. Just received word from the tournament director that we only get one team for Match Games. Because of the match aspect of the tournament, they try to keep the field at a multiple of 4 so there aren't any blinds. With 28 teams, there are still two schools that have multiple teams (so that means 26 different schools here), but I guess it was based on when the entry was officially turned in as to which school had to give up their extra team first...sigh. I did tell the tournament director to call me if a team unexpectedly backs out and we'd try to field a second team, especially since we have several bowlers who live in the St. Louis area...we'll cross that bridge if and when it happens.
This was a very hard decision because there are more than eight bowlers who definitely deserve to be on the roster at this point. I was up late last night updating stats for the season so I had as much info as possible. That narrowed things a bit, but ultimately it came down to match ups since we've already bowled in this center earlier this year...

If you have any questions, let me know... To those that are done for the semester at this point, it's been a great fall of bowling. Differentials after Louisville indicate that we have 17 players that are plus...a very nice accomplishment!
Remember, you have to take a J-term class to be eligible to bowl the weekend of January 16-17 and January 23-24. We'll take everyone that's available the weekend of January 16-17 and hope to get two teams for the tournament in South Bend, IN on the 23rd and 24th, but it's not guaranteed...although snow in South Bend is almost a given!
I plan to completely update stats and post them here and possibly on the school web site after the Leatherneck.
Thanks...

Just got home to check e-mail and we now have a second team in Match Games again... Morehead State cancelled.
I will post an updated roster list as soon as possible, but if you weren't originally listed on the Match Games roster, please let me know if you have already made other plans for Thanksgiving or if you are still available to bowl at Bel Air Friday and Saturday.
Sorry this has been so back and forth, I've been trying to keep everyone updated and it kept changing at a ridiculous pace, but I'm happy that we have our originally anticipated spots.
Have to complete ball registration sheets prior to bowling, so please arrive no later than 8am to 815am Friday. Coaches meeting at 830a. We practice at 845a.
Practice at 9am Saturday, so plan to be there by 830am...
