Best Match in the Round
of 16
There was only 1 match
that went 7 games, that was Patrick Allen's
victory over Steve Jaros and that was a
pretty good match up but I think the best
match was:
Tim Criss's
victory over Brad Angelo it had high scores,
close games and transitional challenges.

Insider Information from the Round of 16
with Rick Benoit
This was a great match that was determined by carry and
transition. Tim's carry in game six was much better than
Brad's. Tim was able to stay left of Brad and get it
back from further right.
Games 3 and 4 were the determining games in this match.
Tom who was suffering a leg injury. opened in the ninth
and tenth of game three to lose. In game 4 in open in
the 10th to lose. So you can see he will have to deal
with more than just the injury to get through this week.
It will be a tough loss for Tom but maybe his leg needed
the time off and Tom wouldn't give it the rest it needed
so it took matters it its own hands and forced the late
game opens.
Patrick was very fortunate he bowled Dale in the round
of 16 instead of the round of 32. Dale's look was
nothing close to what he had in his match up with Mike
Edwards. It could have been the oil down lane after the
second strip and re-oil or it could have been the way
Patrick Healey transitions the pattern.
Mika's loss in this round may have been the result of
strategy. Had Mika won the first two games as expected
the result would have been dramatically different.
Jeff's strength is not on the fresh and we knew he would
like what Mika developed at some point in the game but
we were confident that Mika could strike with him in the
late games. I could have done a better job in preparing
Mika as the right ball for Mika to start with in my mind
was the Ultimate Inferno. I went and got the ball for
Mika at the end of practice but he did not have any
practice shots with it. He did use it in game 3 but I
didn't expect it to last the whole match and not having
it in games 1 and 2 could have made a difference.
Dang it Rick you just didn't take enough time
thinking about this match, I had my mind on the practice
lanes with other players.
