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

I’m still in a slump, but I had a couple of better games tonight, so it’s probably just a matter of working through it.

Result: 141-179-171=491
Average (24 games): 175
Average for last 9 games: 169
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 551

Composite average (42 games): 174

Team tried to hold our own against a tough opposing team, but we failed to win points. Their anchor shot 718, and two of the others were also over 600.

After winning six points from Split Happens, Pin Pals are tied for 5th with Adam & Steve, six points behind the leading Ten Is Enough, who are two points ahead of Macs, and four ahead of Where is B? and OSIMAS. We bowl against Adam & Steve Sunday night.

Individually, Lee had both the high game and series of the week.

After winning one point from Mixed Nuts, Seven Deadly Pins are in 12th place, nine points behind a tie for the lead between Mixed Nuts and Team 14. The leaders are two points ahead of Lost Empire 2 and Spare Us, and three ahead of Steak and Lettuce. We bowl against Lost Empire 2 tomorrow night, with a position round coming up next week.

Furious Five lost all seven to VEGBAGS, who passed us for the lead, as a result, and are up by three points. Team 8 is in 3rd, seven points behind the lead.

The only special note on the standing sheet involved someone I know in real life: wronghander submitted a 30-clean series, and, he said while it wasn’t his first, it was the first he’s submitted for this virtual league. 🙂

It was just not my night tonight, even though my start was promising. Lee noticed me dropping my shoulder, but when I finally got that corrected, nothing was falling, even on my good shots, leaving the 7 in particular just about every way you could.

Result: 168-159-157=484
Average (18 games): 173
Average for last 9 games: 173
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 529

Composite average (39 games): 175

I would be fortunate to have Lee pick me up tonight, because he shot 246-242-259 for a 747, netting the team six points.

After failing to win points from Where Is B?, Pin Pals are tied for 5th with OSIMAS and Who’s Carrying Who, six points behind a tie for the lead between Where Is B?, Ten Is Enough, and Adam & Steve; Macs is alone in 4th, four points behind the lead. Sunday night will be the first position round of the half, and we’re bowling against Split Happens.

I don’t want to make it an excuse, but I haven’t been in the 500s since I had a front tooth extracted on Friday. Tonight, I just couldn’t put much together and had some tough spares, though I converted two of the baby splits.

From here on, I’ll be tracking my composite average between my two leagues.

Result: 148-164-147=459
Average (21 games): 176
Average for last 9 games: 169
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 538

Composite average (36 games): 176

Team only won the second game, but Donald had a better night than he’s been having, with two games in the 120s.

In brackets last week, I beat Shawn in my two finals for the $5 profit on the week.

Furious Five won five points from Team 8 and now lead VEGBAGS by four points and Team 8 by nine points. Once again, I had a game over the virtual league’s weekly and season average.

My Week 6 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK)

I didn’t really bowl that badly through two games, but Lee lost his line, and me my carry, late in the second game, so we both decided to try the “rocket to the pocket” approach, which none of us were really successful with, but him more than me because he has more natural ball speed.

Result: 141-185-138=464
Average (15 games): 176
Average for last 9 games: 183
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 545

Tough lanes, and a tough team to go with them, as we lost all eight. Rachel saved a little bit of face for us with two games over her average.

After winning two points from Spare Us, Seven Deadly Pins is tied with Ebony and Ivories in 11th place, seven points behind Mixed Nuts and Spare Us, who are a point ahead of Team 14, two ahead of Lost Empire 2, and 2.5 ahead of Creeden’s Mustangs. We’re bowling against Mixed Nuts Wednesday night.

After my hiccup in this league last week, I had another three consistent games, with the only single pin miss coming on a mental error (didn’t use my spare ball, as is usual). As you’ll see below, my two league averages are converging, with my Sunday night average currently just a pin higher than Wednesday night.

Result: 193-186-199=578
Average (18 games): 180
Average for last 9 games: 182
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 550

Team won the third game by enough for total by three pins.

After winning all eight points from Team 15, Pin Pals are now tied for the lead with Where is B?, Ten Is Enough, and Adam & Steve, with Split Happens, Team 15, and Macs tied for 5th two points behind. Our opponents Sunday night are Where Is B?, which will be, in effect, a position round before the position round.

Individually, Lee had the high game and series of the week, and I had the second high game and third high series of the week.

Furious Five won all seven points from The Lion Killers and have regained the lead, four points clear of VEGBAGS in second place and 4th and Roll and Team 8 tied for third, six points behind. I’m not sure if it’s a true average, but our team average is tied with Sphere Chuckers for high team average after five weeks.

wronghander, whom I’ve also posted about by his real name, Bill Sheehey, had his forum name added to the league’s “Honor Roll” page for the first time after submitting a 290 game last week. WTG Bill! 🙂

My Week 5 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)

Best night of my season so far. I missed five spares, but only had to shoot at 14 of them, in large part because I was able to put four in a row together, then three in a row later, in the second game. 🙂

Result: 199-236-177=612
Average (12 games): 181
Average for last 9 games: 188
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 553

I seem to be able to feed off of Lee, because he had a great night, as well, putting up a 710. Team won all eight against the first place team, so we should be able to move closer to the lead. 🙂

After winning one point from Ebony and Ivories, Seven Deadly Pins is tied for 11th with Has Beens and Bowling Stones, seven points behind the leading Spare Us (our opponents Wednesday night). The lead is two points over Mixed Nuts and Team 14, and three over Creeden’s Mustangs.
