hello!
i decided to start a new topic so that we can get this discussion going.
i would like to comment that what terence has suggested is really a good idea, as the pinstrikers are mainly made up of couples. this is something new from the league and playoff games that we always have. sometimes we need to have this kind of fun to liven things up. we can even get alfred and rena back for this.
terence has started the ball rolling for sponsoring cash for the event (so generous ) we should also think of other prizes to add spice to the event. i think it will good if each couple will contribute some cash and let the [b]prize secretary, (russ ) to settle the rest. [/b]

Fellow Pinstrikers, please feel free to add your comments or views on the event.[/b]

[b]I'm fine with the suggestion. Maybe we can make it a yearly event during Christmas Time?? We can name it "The Christmas Roll" or something like that....saw Victor's having such tournament during Christmas period. [/b]
Just to confirm, by saying that Rick, Jasmine, Alfred and Rena is invited, that would mean that this competition will be open to all?Meaning that they don't even have to be a social member?Originally posted by VisioHack:Yes i am here.......First of all........if there are no objections from anyone, I would like to make it a quarterly event just the same as the league and championship.Reasons? So that friends like rick and jasmine, alfred and rena can have a get together session which i think 3 months once sound a good duration. Moreover for associate members like Kai and Evelyn and other new upcoming members(who bowl frequently), there is something for them to look forward to and also to keep the engine running after the first participation. I m sure everyone feel that the "Pinstrikers championship" schedule is nicely even out throughout the year and hence I would like have the "couple championship" to be the same.
Mean while, I am trying to plan for other events like 9-pin tap tournament, skin competition etc etc to make the work year for "Pinstrikers team", a more interesting and memorable one and also to make it possible for all levels of bowlers to find it comfortable and welcome to join "Pinstrikers" even if they are not hardcore bowlers.
Well, we can just invite them... VHK, so when exactly are you proposing the competition to be?? Must start to collect money dah.... Hmmmm.....Or should that be the treasurer's job???Originally posted by bara_cuda:Just to confirm, by saying that Rick, Jasmine, Alfred and Rena is invited, that would mean that this competition will be open to all?Meaning that they don't even have to be a social member?
I personally do not mind if it is so. In this way, we will have both "open" and "closed" competitions. However, I doubt they will be interested.
Shouldn't it be spares and not strikesOriginally posted by Shadow_R:Ok, based on our last discussion on the prizes, the following have been decided:
a. Apart from Terence's generous contribution of $100, all participating couple (less Terence and Ivy) will contribute an additional $10 for the prizes.
b. The top prize will be given to the couple with the highest total score.
c. There will also be a prize for the couple with the most number of consecutive strikes.
d. Tokens of $5 will be given to every couple who achieve a score of 180 pinfalls and above in one game.
While I'll be looking out for the prizes in the next couple of weeks, feel free to give your suggestions, if any.
Oops... you're right... I have edited my earlier post...Originally posted by bara_cuda:Shouldn't it be spares and not strikes
Originally posted by Robin.G:Since you so brilliantly pointed it out, you may have the honours. Anyway, I believe troy was informed by terence last sunday and I seriously think that rick will not be interested.
[b]Brothers, I think we missed out on something.....Who is notifying and inviting the other couples. I dun think even Troy and Evelyn knows about it. Cos' if they are keen, then we will collect $10/- from each couple. That goes the same for the remaining couple like Alfred/Rena & Rick/Jasmine. More people more fun, wat do you guys think?? Currently, I only have $130/- from the 4 of us.

Originally posted by Robin.G:We can all tell Alfred this sun and I would like to repeat myself again, I don't think Rick will be interested. Jasmine doesn't bowl and I can't remember when was the last time Rick bowled. Do you seriously think Rick will pay ten dollars to join a competition like this?
[b]Me not brilliant. I dun have the contact nos of Alfred and Rick. Be good if Baracuda can call your Best friend and also invite Rick. I will collect the money from Troy this Sun. [/b]
All I know is that we're gonna have a few laughs...Originally posted by bara_cuda:I don't know about you guys but I don't know whether to view this competition in anticipation or apprehension I just hope things won't get too fiery , especially after the hot pot.
