It's been one year since we gave this series a name, dubbing it PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR. So now seemed the right time to hold our First Anniversary show. Today, 18 kids subjected themselves to a Qualifying Round. Two in our Junior Varsity Division and Four in our Varsity Division survived the winnowing process. Our show begins with a championship match between or two JV survivors. Then we segue over to the Varsity division and let the four-player stepladder play out.
One major technical glitch on this week's show, as your idiot producer (that would be me) failed to calibrate the focus on our new camcorder, which means all the action footage was shot slightly out of focus. The wide shot looks alright (well, "almost" alright). But when we apply the digital zoom-in to follow the ball to the pins, the blurriness in the footage is revealed. So for the first time in PRODIGY history, today's show doesn't employ the use of the digital "virtual" zoom, So it looks a little different than all our other PRODIGY shows. But the match play action is no less fierce. In fact, all four matches are decided in the 10th frame, and three of the four matches come down to the very last ball. Match play doesn't get any more suspenseful than that.
So have yourself a cupcake to help us celebrate our First Anniversary of PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR and enjoy the show.
As always, your comments are welcome. We do ask that you keep your criticisms constructive. If all you have to say is to criticize young people without offering anything to help them get better, such comments may be removed. Remember, the mission of PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR is to Celebrate Junior Bowling while we Elevate Junior Bowlers. Keep your comments in that spirit and all will be good.
