My Week 3 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

Some splits and washouts kept what was otherwise a good night down in score. I felt maybe my ball wasn’t turning the corner, so I switched to my IQ Fusion, but I really didn’t get my best results until I also relaxed my swing, as my third game was better because of it.

Result: 174-172-183=529
Average (9 games): 183
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 553

Composite average (18 games): 178

Harry Thibeault usually subs on Peter’s team in this league, and Harry’s first opportunity was tonight due to Peter’s absence. Harry contributed a 673 and Ed a 577 in another eight-point effort.

There were tons of spare misses, particularly corner pins, and my 600 was to be had if I’d just taken care of business. On the bright side, the Tropical Breeze that I threw one shot with in practice Sunday before putting it back in the bag was my ball tonight, and I was able to be locked in, as I had at least a double in every game.

Result: 162-177-214=553
Average (9 games): 172
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 527

Composite average (15 games): 178

The surprise of the night for my team was Jeff, who was close to 100 over his entering average in posting a 515. Team won all four.

Updating my leagues; I reserve the right to add the Sunday Niters update later:

• Brunswick Mixed: After winning a point from Team 12, Lane Ducks are tied for 8th with Striking Gentlemen and Spear Game, three points behind a tie for the lead between Right Turn Clyde, Team 12, and Artie’s Angels, with Lickety Splits a point behind the lead in 4th. 5 Spares are tomorrow night’s opponents.
• Virtual league: 5 Kingpins won just two points from Team 7 (which might get a name this week), and are now in a three-way tie for 3rd with Big Guns and Team 6, five points behind the leading AmExGoGoDub, who lead Team 7 by two points.
• Sunday Niters: After winning all eight from The Avengers, The 3 Stooges are in the lead by two over Here for the Beer, four over Ten Is Enough (Sunday night’s opponents), and six over We Found B?, Pinknockers, and Suzy’s Crew. (Note: I had to take the update from the hard copy on the bulletin board behind the lanes because Moe is on vacation.)

The league had a couple of teams drop out, and we drew The Avengers as opponents in the reordered schedule.

My Week 2 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

I had another slow start, but I improved enough with every game to make tonight better than Wednesday night. A couple of light splits were what really derailed the second game, and there were a few other spare misses, but I again made every 10 pin.

Result: 148-172-204=524
Average (6 games): 187
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 566

Composite average (12 games): 176

My teammates picked me up first game, and we again won all eight. Ed was high on the pair with a 633.

I fell back to Earth tonight, as I never really got anything going until the end of the third game. I missed a bunch of spares on the right side standing where I normal stand and trying to hook my plastic ball; oddly enough, I did make the one 10 pin I had.

Result: 129-146-173=448
Average (6 games): 166
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 507

Composite average (9 games): 177

Team followed me pretty much in the first two games, but we did salvage the third game. Barry almost broke 500.

I figured I get the standings for all of my leagues, real and virtual, updated in one shot:

• Brunswick Mixed: Lane Ducks won three from WTF (We’re The Five). Three teams, Team #14, Right Turn Clyde, and Artie’s Angels won all four points in the first week, and Lane Ducks are tied for 4th with four other teams. We bowl against Team #14 tomorrow night.
• Sunday Niters: The 3 Stooges won all eight from OSIMAS and are one of three teams that did so, with the other two being Pin Pals and Pinknockers. Pin Pals (Lee & Rachel, with their third, Shawn Syde, who was absent last week) are our opponents Sunday night.
• Virtual league: 5 Kingpins won five of seven from a yet-unnamed Team 6 and stand in a three-way tie for second with Team 3 and Team 7, with AmExGoGoDub the team that won all seven.
