Wild and Wonderful West Virginia Irish Road Bowling Tour

Bowler Ratings as of 07 26 07

(Ratings, published to puff up the champions and give the rest of us something to argue about, are based on the following factors: head to head competition, just showing up for tournaments, competition in Boston at 2004, 2005 and 2006 North American Championships against native Irishmen, scores in qualifiers and competition in WVIRBA Finals, speed of bowl, accuracy, getting seen throwing by ratings committee, just reputation, blind luck - p.s. someone please come up with a better rating system)
