This topic could go under the "tournament" forum as well, but thought I would start a thread for centers to post practice times and/or opportunities for bowlers to have the chance to practice on the open pattern before the head south to Baton Rouge.

The sooner the better!

I bowled a 9-pin no tap tournament at Plaza last year on the USBC's pattern to get ready for the tournament; are these returning this year?

Looks like there are a few places the practice on the pattern. Brunswick Four Seasons has the pattern on 3 pairs from 9 AM to NOON on Sunday morning. They also have a sports league on Wednesday that will use the pattern for the next couple of months so you can go over after the league (9:30 PM) and practice on the burn. I also read that Plaza Lanes will put out the pattern on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 5:00 PM and then after their sport's league from 10:00 PM to midnight.
