[edit] Ten-pin bowling peer review

The article Ten-pin bowling is currently undergoing a peer review to bring it up to featured article status. As others who are interested in bowling, I invite you to leave your comments--Danaman5 04:04, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Up to snuff!

I believe we should try and get this page a little more organized, we can follow a model similar to the 10 pin. split it up into some sections for starters. as danaman said, a lot of good info here, i just think it needs to be organized a little better. Namtaru 8:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Erased Content

I erased the following - it seems more like an ad over ency. content -- User:Themepark

[edit] The Youth Bowling School Concept

The Bowling School concept was created in 1986 by Tom Paterson. Tom Paterson is a recognized authority on the sport of Five Pin Bowling. Paterson (a school teacher/administrator) and is also a multiple national champion in singles and team competitions,a TSN Champion (2006) and the author of two books (circa 1980, 2000).

The school concept was born from an invitation to Alberta's Youth Camp in 1985. Alberta's camp continues to this day. The primary differentation between the camp concept of Alberta and the school concept divised by Paterson is the intentional focus on competitive readiness, and the blending of both on-lane "how to" instruction with classroom sessions that delve into the realm of Sport Psychology through the use of experts trained in the field.

The school consists of 3 - 4 days of intensive on lane instruction, and classroom learning. Each day involves 8 hours of instruction. The Saskatchewan School is typically held the 3rd weekend of August (Thurs-Sunday inclusive), and attracts participants nation wide. The school capacity is limited to the first 100 registrants, with the school filling to capacity usually by March.

The bowling school concept of Paterson has been carried forth by Paterson and is now offered in British Columbia (since 2002), Manitoba (since 1999) and Norther Ontario (since 2000). On a related side note Southern Ontario has intentionally copied the format and does ackowledge the source of the information.

Information on the Western schools can be found at the following sites; www.saskbowl.com, www.bowlbc.com, Manitoba contact; rossmerelanes@shaw.ca

[edit] Lacking sources

I have tagged this article as lacking sources. It has lots of good, detailed info here but no way to verify most of it. --Ds13 21:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Typo?

Is the correct spelling of the machine chameleon or chamelion? Don't know enough about the subject to change this - but could someone verify?! Thanks. SkierRMH 08:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
