Good point Urbie. Thanks for pushing me to get this active.
There is nothing that says you can't have both going on at once. Why couldn't there be a handicapped doubles tournament going on along side the Pro Series doubles on a given weekend?
I know that space is an issue, I get that, but it can be done.
But what are we doing really (on Voy)? It's like the Hatfields and the McCoys with handicapped against Pro. All we really want are competitive tournaments, handicapped or otherwise.
The idea of the Pro Series and other scratch tournaments are you walk in and bowl. No average check, no extra math, bowl your game.
Either way, the real goal is to make bowling more competitive and have a larger player base. I do both type of tournaments because BOTH are fun. Yes, it was a shame last month being high scratch pinfall (I'm pretty sure) and NOT getting into the knockout round. Had I bowled better the second string I would have gotten in to the ladder portion. It was MY fault, not the handicap - though one guy didn't add it in, and once he did I was bounced to sixth place.
So maybe that right there, that one thing, is why there should be NO handicapped tournaments. I know I can't wait until the 23rd at New Palace.
