An idea to make things more equal View
by Mr Blue Agave on April 8, 2001 at 18:09:59 PDT

I was speaking with a bowler in a Ladder Match and mentioned about having been victim too many times by 300 shooters. I've been thinking, since the top 10 are so good, why shouldn't they have to bowl with a different type ball each Strike shot ? Most can use any ball basically anyway, so why not, for those of that don't ring up 12 in a row the majority of the time.
That's my suggestion, for tourney's or ladder matches.
What do you think ?

  THIS LADDER IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED AS WHATEVER BALL YOU SO CHOOSE TO USE.(NO RULES STATED OTHERWISE) FOR EXAMPLE I PLAY TIGER WOODS GOLF N IT IS SET AS A PRO LEVEL LADDER BUT SOME PLAY AS AMTATUER BY DOIN SO THIS LOWERS YER CHANCES OF MOVING TO A BETTER RANK.FOR THIS LADDER IT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU RAN AN ENTIRE LADDER WITH IT STATED IN THE RULES SAYIN WHAT BALLS YOU HAVE TO USE BUT OTHER THEN THAT ID PRACTICE YOUR GAME , HATE TO SOUND RUDE BUT IF ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE SHOOTIN 300'S THERE MUST BE A REASON BEHIND THIS.........

  I can understand where you are coming from, but (always a but) I don't people should be punished because they can bowl 300's. I was the same way losing a lot to people that bowled 300's all the time then after a lot of practice help from some people I was bowling 300's a lot. All I can say is keep practicing ask for some tips from people maybe they will throw something your way. Over time you'll be throwing 300's all the time and loving it and the new guy you play might feel the same you are now.
  Also we already have tournaments out there that bring more competition and make it fairer. There is flash bowling where you use a different ball every three frames without using the same ball twice. I have also seen just one type of ball tournaments where you can use only one ball and the TD will tell you which one everyone will be using. And another I have seen straight ball tournaments so its out there and if someone agrees to do that in a ladder its their choice but I don't think the 300 people should be punished because they can do so well.
  Thank you for you idea though and good luck bud.

    lmfao roflol and any other combination of lol's out there this is the second time I have heard people cry about this since I have been on this thing. Am sorry but if you don't like it all I can say is practice what do you think we have done? Why should we be penalized because you get irratated and don't want to practice. Even if there was a league like that the good bowlers will still shoot 300 almost everytime because we "practice" to where we can do that. I do them on every oil righty or lefty rotating balls so it wouldn't help much. I have been here since the game came out nearly 4 years ago so don't think someone can come in and try to change things for people that have been here for so long and worked their #*^off...
