The article reports on a new version that will be introduced in PBA championships. In 2004-05, all 64 players in the main draw will cash, and qualifying sessions are now history. Best-of-seven matches will determine the television performers, and the luck of the draw could play a major part in determining the players who advance. The new version is going to be a little bit different. Without qualifying, players are going to go right into head-to-head match play. There's a chance now that one can bowl four games and be done for the tournament.

The article reports on different practice habits of different bowlers. There always have been athletes who don't work hard on their body, mind, and game, but are able to excel at very high levels. In bowling, Marshall Holman was one such player. He had such incredible talent he would just "turn it on" and bowl well. Some players just fall into everything correctly and don't work hard on their games. But David Ozio, is one such player who is always seeking answers to his game and working extremely hard. He never was the natural talent that Holman was.

The article reports on the performance of top bowler Brad Angelo. Even after a meteoric rise to the top of the bowling world, Brad Angelo still doesn't consider himself among the top 10 bowlers in the PBA. However, he's probably in the minority among any fans with any interest at all in the sport. With the help of some of the members of the "Angelo Connection," however, the 33-year-old Angelo has managed to keep his goals focused on becoming a mainstay on the tour--although maybe not for as long as his roommate, Hall of Fame bowler Tom Baker.

In this article, a noted bowler Ron Palombi, Jr., shares his experiences and success story with the author. Palombi, a six-time titlist, gained popularity due to his success in the 1990 U.S. Open. He states that when it was announced in the fall of 1989 that the 1990 U.S. Open would be held at Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis, Indiana, he prepared himself to win. Bud Fisher, the longtime PBA public relations director who is now retired and living in Indianapolis, also picked him to win in an article in "The Indianapolis Star" just before the tournament began. By beating famous bowler, Amleto Monacelli, by 269-205, on April 7, 1990, as the top seed in the championship game, he made Fisher and himself look good in the consecutive match. INSET: The One Cut He Didn't Want to Make.

The lack of a women's pro tour in 2004 has scattered former PWBA superstars in every direction. Bowler, Tiffany Stanbrough, of Oklahoma was one of the rising stars of the PWBA tour. In the tour's abbreviated 2003 season, she was the only competitor to win twice. After five seasons as a pro, Stanbrough had made it to the winner's circle five times. Other players talked about her as a potential all-time great, as someone who could take women's bowling into a new era and help assure the sport's future. But as the spring of 2004 turned into summer Stanbrough's future, like that of her sport, was in limbo. She competed in the WIBC Tournament in Wichita in May and made it to the second round of match play in the WIBC Queens before a loss to Robin Romeo sent her into the loser's bracket and a loss to Carolyn Dorin-Ballard sent her packing. Bowler, Kelly Kulick also competed in the ABC Masters this spring as well as the WIBC events, and has bowled in several PBA regionals.

In the PBA tournament season's final hour, this consummate PBA veteran turned the hot streak of a lifetime into a win at the PBA World Championship. Heading into the PBA World Championship at Taylor Lanes outside Detroit, Michigan, March 2004, bowler, Tom Baker had one goal to do well enough to slip in as one of the tour's top 50 bowlers and qualify for the restructured 2004-05 exempt tour. This article presents an interview of Baker with the journal "Bowling Digest." Baker said that he is still trying to understand the significance of his performance, which came before a crowd dominated by supporters of transplanted Finn Koivuniemi, who lives just three miles down the road in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
