I've been watching PBA and PWBA shows and a part of that show is that they analyze to the viewer the oil pattern and where the players would probably be playing. Every time they do that analysis they will determine if the scoring pace will be low, medium or high.
So my question is given the pattern information, how do you determine the scoring pace? What particular things we should be paying attention to when given a pattern info?
How is scoring pace determined?

Re: How is scoring pace determined?
Based upon the skill level of athlete and the pattern information only, the degree of difficulty is judged by the middle to outside track ratio of oil in that pattern.crashin12x wrote: So my question is given the pattern information, how do you determine the scoring pace?

The attachment below shows three levels of difficulty.
Easy..........Ratio 11:1 lot of pattern help for errant shots
Medium.....Ratio 4:1 some help for slightly errant shots
Hard.........Ratio 1:1 no help!

Re: How is scoring pace determined?
I think the OP was referring to elite competitions only. For instance PBA Cheetah would be considered a high scoring pace while the US Open may be considered a low scoring pace.
I believe they use the week's scoring on the pattern to determine its difficulty level. If everyone is averaging 220+, then high scoring. And conversely, if everyone is less than 200 than low scoring.

I was just attempting to answer the above question.
Jhun lives in the Philippines, so perhaps later he can respond and see if his question was answered.

Fair enough, I didn't consider the OP being outside of the US.

Re: How is scoring pace determined?
Hi Jim, this is what I am looking for to start with. So the lower the ratio based on the composite info the harder it gets.JMerrell wrote:

Re: How is scoring pace determined?
Apologies spmc for not being thorough I should have mentioned in "YouTube" Anyway, I am referring to all sort of competition not only the elite ones where organizers gives out the pattern info. I believe Jim has outlined the ratios for starters.spmcgivern wrote:Fair enough, I didn't consider the OP being outside of the US.

Re: How is scoring pace determined?
I just wanted to say, even in the difficult (or low scoring) environments as shown by Jim, there are ranges of difficulty. Some sport patterns are higher scoring than others with all sport patterns (at least in the US) having a 3:1 ratio or lower.crashin12x wrote: Apologies spmc for not being thorough I should have mentioned in "YouTube" Anyway, I am referring to all sort of competition not only the elite ones where organizers gives out the pattern info.

Oil patterns in the PBA and PWBA are USBC sport compliant. So in the videos of those events, the commentator is stating how that particular sport compliant shot plays (low to high scoring).
