Years ago this would never, ever, of happened... The 9pm ET deadline came and went Friday evening as Chris Barnes awaited a challenger to take him on for the All-In Action Sweeper title in the Arena Bay at the World Series of Bowling. Barnes was the only player to put up the $5,000 entry fee required to enter the event, which was scheduled to take place in the Arena Bay at Thunderbowl Lanes as a part of the PBA World Series of Bowling. A special edition of PBA:39X60 covered the event, showing Barnes on-hand waiting a player (or players) to show up and take him on. An eager crowd gathered, hoping to see a new chapter in the epic history of "Action Bowling", but alas, it was not to be. After the dealine passed, Barnes was declared the winner and was interviewed on Xtra Frame (watch here). The All-In Action Sweeper was designed to evoke the old high-stakes action bowling days. The format for the event was to be two-game match play where total pins would decide the winner. The event was scheduled to be contested using the U.S. Open lane pattern, which is generally considered to be the toughest condition in the sport of bowling. rss.bowlingdigital.de/bowl/node/6988

I am surprise that Norm Duke did not show. Maybe Scianna has all Robert Smith's money. This is not a problem with bowlers but where are the high stake backers. No money in the back!!! This is not related to the action matches. These people were not there. When done like horse racing with people betting in the back then the match takes on a different excitement. Also lets face it no one felt they had any advantage to bowl Chris under those conditions. Only Duke is better on US Open patterns.
