INPUT REQUEST....
We will be voting this weekend regarding a format change for most of the stops this upcoming season. We are proposing doing away with the Stairstep finals and adding a game to Match Play. We would still be 5 games of qualifying, but will have 6 games of Match Play with 30 bonus pins...leader after those 6 games will be the Champion.
We feel that no one really stays to support a roll off, and we are stuck there for at least an extra hour because of it.

I'm ok with this change, it will help the people that work so hard for us bowlers to get done sooner so they can make their drive home.

How about getting rid of the Match play and bonus pins? 5 games of qualifying then cut and bowl 6 games scratch and leader after that will be the champion? This would save time as well in between games since wouldn't have to wait for scores to come in and new lane assignments. Just another idea to throw out there to be considered.

I like the change to six match play games- I think this is the most valuable tournament experience for those looking to compete, work on their game/skill set and build confidence for the future. A mix of the traditional format and the new format throughout the year would give everyone some realtime experience with waying out pros and cons of each or possible coming up with a new tweak that could be interesting. I personally don't love the stair step for two reasons aside from the dragging the tourney out with very few spectators: the leader gets out of rhythm waiting to bowl for an hour and one of the first two competitors that move on to the championship match tends to get tired/gassed by the end after bowling several extra games. It would be nice for the tournament directors to be able to get on the road a little sooner and more convenient for the center to reoil before their Sunday night leagues with a little bit of leeway.
