WOW!!!!!!!! THE CHALLENGE10 IS SOARING

The bowling community have been drawing ( from their pocket ) and hitting ( new heights ) in the 2010 campaign to support the fight against breast cancer and prostate cancer.
$650.00 Donated or Pledged To Date
Donations will be received until July 31st.
You can simply donate, the minimum is $10.00.
OR - You can donate your $10 and exchange your real money for 10,000 bob, (b10,000) from the Bank of BOB. You then have the opportunity to play the Challenge10. Your task is to study the field in the Provincial Pairs Championship and then wisely wager your bob on the team(s) you think will qualify for the trip to the Canadians.
In the Fours KJ turned b5,000 into b32,500 when he picked that upstart Cornwall/Ottawa team at 5.5 to 1. 
You know what else happened! Some people bet all their 'bob' , every single crisp new 'bob', and lost. But they still can play for the low, low cost of a further $5.00 cancer donation and receive an additional b5,000. A half price deal that makes Walmart blush.
Of course it isn't real but we have fun pretending that we know our sport and its players.
But more importantly we join with our friends to help make a difference.
Our reality is the support for the cause, our fantasy is a make believe betting pool.

It is time to rank the Pairs Teams.
The field is set with the exception of the second entry for District 2 due to the bye with the 'no entry' in District 11 Women. I didn't see the replacement on the OLBA website but my unofficial guess is it may be the team of Julie Fowler and Cathy Townsend.
In any case, make your picks and change them if that suggestion is not accurate. 
Remember the odds are set by you. Rank the teams as you think they will finish in Sarnia.
You have to rank a minimum of 10 ( no ties ) or right up to 16 if you want. Women or men or both if you have been paying attention.
