The reader this week is directed to the standings sheet on LeagueSecretary.com rather than the one on Bowler Express (link can be found in the sidebar under “Author’s links”; click header to go to main blog page if viewing the individual post).
The sweep this week meant that “The Pin Pals” dropped all the way to 8th place, but still only 5 points out of first with plenty of time left. “MT Bed” and “The Mustangs” are the teams tied at the top, with those two teams bowling against each other next week. My team has “The Handicaps” next week, a team we usually do well against.
Now, for the good news: the 257 game qualifies me for the USBC’s 75 pins over average game award, the patch for which is pictured below:
This represents my first USBC award since my return, and, indeed, my last one, the 100 pins over average game patch I received for my 268 game all those years ago, came before the merger of the ABC, WIBC, and YABA into the USBC. I’m undecided about whether to put the patch on my old red bowling shirt (where I had put my award patches prior to my long hiatus) or the new one. I had thought of a poll to ask my readers about that, but that would require yet another online account, so I think I’ll just let you guys comment with what you think. 😀
By the way, the 257 game was the high scratch game bowled in the league this week. 😀

Congrats
new shirt, unless you intend to use the old shirt for motivation/intimidation :o) Gar
