For a few years now I have posted the top 10s unregularly throughout the
tournament. The tournament started on January 12th and runs to
Independence day this year. There are 13,222 teams participating,
including those of us from TI going in a couple of weeks.
The top 5 in singles (regular and classified) can be had on the front
page for the tournament at:
http://www.bowl.com/tournaments/abc/National/main.aspx
Also available: Tournament history, including a look up feature. Don't
believe your buddy shot 498 in team and 677 in singles in 2000? Look it
up! It does only seem to go back to 1998 however...
http://lss.bowl.com/templates/abc/common/results/form.html
Also: lane condition graphs, pix of the opening ceremonies, travel info,
links to the BJ, Baton Rouge stuff, future host cites (through 2011), a
forum section on which someone is posting restaurant reviews (YAY!), and
web cams of the action (some still under construction).
BTW - did anyone on here use the ABC/UPS ball shipping feature last
year? How did it work out?
And now, on to the scores!

Lots of familiar names from the early weeks. Ralph is a Storm sales
rep, very good regional player (PBA), and an overall cool dude. Clay is
a young fellow who bowled for the University of Utah when I was there
as a graduate student (early 1990s or so). He loves bowling and owns a
pro-shop in Salt Lake City. He had a good shot at 300-800 in singles
but apparently chucked a bad one when he needed it and came up a bit
short. It's always nice to see good guys posting some decent scores.

I had no problems with it, and the price wasn't too bad, but I just checked
the balls coming back, because I didn't want to be without any balls
when I got back.

BTW, the house where the BJ is being held is laying the BJ shot on all the
lanes.
Doing it three times a day, even the local leagues are playing on the shot.
I don't know if this is how it is every year but it gives a chance to
practice on the condition.

Hasn't it been a variation of a "house shot" for a few years? Last year
it was pretty much 15-25 were wet and everything else was dry, and there
was plenty of room once you found the breakpoint.

I never bowled in the BJ so I don't know what the shot has been in the past.
But
this is not the house shot or any variation of it. The bowlers I talked with
say that it's
much harder that the normal house shot. When talking to the owner he said
it's just
easier to dress all the lanes the same. I'm going to give it a try in the
next week or two
to see for myself.
Anyway, the point I was making was that if you are going to bowl the BJ you
can open bowl
a few games knowing you are on the same condition as the tournament.

I haven't bowled it in the past three years, but I did the first two
years I bowled with TI... It sure wasn't a house shot back then! I was
very similar to the current Nationals shot. It played long and flat and
was a very over/under wet/dry condition... moderately heavy oil up front
with clean backends. Very similar to the Storm Challenge except that the
Storm Challenge had no backends at all! Compare that to the BTM which
was a perfect condition for throwing plastic and you had the Full Monty!

Last year, anyway, the Bowlers Journal was on the same condition as the
40-frame, and it was basically a "house" shot. That's why I didn't bowl
in it...at that point, it's a carry contest.
