Mounts Bowling

Yesterday, Saturday the 14th of March Flor and I hit the road to Vegas for the 2009 USBC Open Championships. This tournament is the biggest tournament of virtually any sport. This year it lasts from February though July and and there’s around 60,000 participants. Crazy! Anyway, I’m not going to post much but I’ll say that Vegas does not look empty despite the slow economy and the few people looking to drop tons of cash. It’s pretty busy here… of course it was Saturday night. Tonight however is a school night and everybody has to be back to their live tomorrow, that is everybody that doesn’t have the week off next week like we do. :) We’ll see what things are like tonight.

Regarding the tournament I started off with the team event last evening and unfortunately I didn’t do what I had hoped to do. I started out with 157, 171, and 190 for a 518 series. Now, this is very tough condition but come on; I should do better than that and I have done much better than that in the past. I ended up losing all my money in brackets too which was a little disappointing because I had hoped to finance a nice show tonight on my winnings last night. I guess we’ll just hit up dinner and catch some cheap thrills tonight after bowling.

Speaking of bowling, I bowl Doubles and Singles in about 1:45 min so I had better get ready. Scores, video, and pictures will follow in another post. Happy day two of vacation! But before I go here’s a little tour of our room here at Caesars Palace; it’s pretty nice.

UPDATE 4/10/2009: I have added commentary on Day 2 of this event in a more recent post. I also included my entire tournament's score sheet as well as video from all three events.
