Based on our 15th place finish, my team received $45/person out of the prize fund, with an extra $3.25/person out of the excess. I chipped in $1.25 for the usual scholarship fund collection.
This year, I did enter the end-of-season no-tap tournament with my winter league situation more or less settled. I didn’t think I did too badly, as I had a 268 first game that started open-spare, then closed out with the last 10, 7 natural. It was downhill from there, however, and I finished out of the money. Tim Major was the star of the night, as his no-tap 300 (only non-natural strike was in the 7th frame) in the last game helped him take top honors for the men. Jane Welch had the high score for the women.
The meeting for the Brunswick Mixed League will be next week, and the league will be running a no-tap tournament of their own following the meeting. I am looking forward to seeing my “old friends,” as well as meeting the new bowlers.
