My Week 13 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK)

The lanes favored my weak equipment for the first time in a while, but I realized probably late that I needed to keep my speed up, which led to an inconsistent release.

Result: 165-200-162=527
Average (39 games): 174
Average for last 9 games: 183
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 541

There was not much the team could have done tonight, with Shawn putting up a 750 on us, which included a 278 second game (front 9). Carl actually had the high game for my team, stringing five in a row for his first time in the third game for a 201.

After winning the lion’s share from “There’s 3 and 2,” “Spare Parts” moved into 2nd place, two points behind “Dee’s Boys III” but a point ahead of “Split Happens.” “Sweet Rolls” (Shawn’s team) await us this week, with a date with the first place “Dee’s Boys III” next week becoming important if we can hold position.

There was no change either in “Fantastic 4’s” position in the standings or the number of points behind the lead despite winning five of seven from “Pocket Rockets.” “Front 9” and “Cold Turkey” are now the teams tied for the lead, with Teams 2 and 10 three points behind.

Individually, my 73-over game and 132-over series were both the high over-average performances of the week. 😀

After winning all four from “The 5 G’s,” “Spare Parts” are now in 3rd place, just two points behind “Split Happens” and only a point behind “Dee’s Boys III.” “There’s 3 and 2” will provide the opposition in the coming week.

I’ll comment to this post when I know if either me or any of my teammates won a “Turkey Shoot” prize.

Now for the post that gets me caught up…last night! 😀

My Week 11 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

A much bigger number was out there, but I let the second game get away from me, and if I approached my other two games, the 700 would have been had. The clean third game felt great, too…haven’t really had a game like that in a while. 😀

Result: 245-167-236=648
Average (33 games): 175
Average for last 9 games: 190
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 530

I could take pride that the game and series were high on the pair even with one of the best bowlers in the league crossing lanes with me. As for the team, we took all four, with the team scoring 1,100 in the third game with handicap.

Last night was also the annual “Turkey Shoot” in the league, with a cash prize going to the bowler in each of the six average divisions (three for the men, three for the women) with the most pins over average on the night. I was 135 over, which at least put me in contention for the men’s “B” prize. 😀

Almost caught up with the backlog…this will be last week’s bowling…

My Week 10 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

I just took a step back last week, with lack of good execution all around. It would figure, though, that I threw my best shot to end the night.

Result: 171-141-170=482
Average (30 games): 171
Average for last 9 games: 175
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 518

My team had a great night, however, starting out with three consecutive “star frames” (everyone with a mark in the frame) and ending with five of those on the night en route to a sweep.

Third post of backlog…

My Week 9 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

Not quite the success of two weeks before, but still three games over average. The first game really showed me the potential of my Nano on this shot, though I threw two really poor shots in the 10th, the first to lose count on my double, and the second to lose count filling the spare.

Result: 224-188-176=588
Average (27 games): 173
Average for last 9 games: 192
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 544

This was the only losing team night of the backlog stretch, winning only the third game, in which Berta pre-bowled a 191.

Second post of backlog…

My Week 8 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

Not many strikes, and my spare game really let me down on this night, but I did see that my Nano became playable, which would pay future dividends.

Result: 168-180-157=505
Average (24 games): 170
Average for last 9 games: 182
Next week’s AVG+1: 529

Taking just a pin off the last-frame double wood leave proved costly, as we lost the third game forfeit point by a pin.

Going through a fit of insomnia after my most recent league night, I’m starting posting of the backlog sooner than I perhaps might want…

My Week 7 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

This was perhaps the first sign that I turned the corner with my game, with three of my most consistent games in some time. As I said in the BowlSK note in the third game, I probably should have changed balls sooner on the right lane, but recognizing that I had to may have saved my six.

Result: 227-197-211=635
Average (21 games): 170
Average for last 9 games: 174
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 521

Carl (first game) and Berta (third game) both had a game in the 180s to support me in a sweep of the points.

“Fantastic 4” took the lion’s share (five of seven) from “Front 9,” one of the teams close to the lead going into the week. “Fantastic 4” still managed to lose a position, falling to 5th, a point behind “Schnitzengiggles,” but the race for the lead got a lot closer, as my team is now just four points behind “Front 9” and Team 2 with three weeks left on the schedule.

My scores last week: 171-141-170 for 482

“Spare Parts” still won all four from “The Incredibowls,” and now stand in 5th place, just three points behind a tie at the top between “Dee’s Boys III” and “There’s 3 and 2.” The team immediately ahead of my team in the standings, “The 5 G’s,” will be our opponents this week.
