That might be interesting, except with Montreal only being 41 feet I feel like it's too close to Seoul. And like Randy said before, US Open is always the last day so we can't throw that out.
I actually talked the pro shop guy into putting out Mexico City where I bowl and believe me, it will definitely be an interesting pattern to bowl tryouts on. I like keeping Cheetah in there too so we aren't bowling on all WTBA patterns.
Cheetah, Seoul, Mexico City and US Open would be my new vote :)
With the closing of Hazelwood Bowl, a tournament was moved to St. Charles Lanes on Sunday, September 11th, therefore we can't bowl try-outs that day. The weekend of the 17th and 18th is already booked, so we don't have many options.
So, figuring that everyone would have to return to school that day anyway for classes on Tuesday, we're planning to have day three of try-outs on Labor Day, Monday September 5th beginning at 6pm in the evening. This way, those that want to go home or out of town still can. They'd probably just have to return a few hours earlier than originally planned. Thoughts?
Day four and the US Open pattern would then be Saturday, September 10th.
Hearing no major concerns from the proposal, please plan on a $30 per person fee to participate in try-outs this year. We'll do shirts separately like we've done in the past.

I have cheetah, Seoul, and the US open as 3 of the 4 patterns.
The last one is ether Mexico City or London. I'm leaning toward London. It's not as flat as MC with a 1-2.6 ratio. MC has a very gradual blend with 1-2.1 ratio. I will play very flat, and with Open pattern, it will make for a long two days. London will be score able, but fair.
I vote london just because I don't think very many of us have bowled on it before... But one thing I really disagree with is putting cheetah out. The shortest pattern we saw the past two years was 37? Ish. And we maybe saw the gutter once or twice. I would understand putting cheetah out as far as getting an idea of who can play where but as far as getting a team for milwaukee I vote viper or scorpion. That way we can still play further right and it might be closer to what we see at college tournaments.. Just putting my opinion out there
My vote is also for London. I'd like to see something put down that not many people have bowled before.
