My Week 32 bowling, frame-by-frame

I was on one of my weaker pairs tonight, and largely bowled like it, with no strikes on the right lane until the third game. Given how the night went, the 190 third game felt like a moral victory.

Result: 146-110-190=446
Average (90 games): 179
Average for last 9 games: 174
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 545

Composite average (168 games): 180

Team managed to split 2-2, with Tom being the high of the bowlers actually there (two of the opponents pre-bowled).

My leagues’ standings after Week 32:

• Brunswick Mixed: After winning three points from Minds in the Gutter, Let’s Mix Em Up is tied for 7th place with Dawg Pound, seven point’s behind Creeden’s Mustang’s, who are a half-point ahead of Sweet Rolls (tomorrow night’s opponents), a point ahead of Last Empire, and three points ahead of Minds in the Gutter. As our secretary is on vacation, I do not have divisional high scores for the week.
• Sunday Niters: After winning two points from Ten Is Enough, The Three Stooges are in 6th place, 21 points behind Broads With Balls, who are four points ahead of Ten Is Enough, 11 points ahead of Suzy’s Crew, and 12 points ahead of We Don’t Give a Split. Ball Busterz are our opponents Sunday night; for the leaders, Broads With Balls face Adam & Steve (Team 4), Ten Is Enough face Here for the Beer, and Suzy’s Crew face We Don’t Give a Split. The last position round for the second half is next week.

My Week 28 bowling, frame-by-frame

I was only ordinary tonight, but I managed not to shoot myself in the foot with single-pin misses. My only opens until the third game were on splits, and I had the misfortune of chopping a fence type of spare in that game.

Result: 158-190-162=510
Average (78 games): 180
Average for last 9 games: 163
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 592

Composite average (165 games): 180

Ed was the only one of us over average, and team only won the second game.

My Week 31 bowling, frame-by-frame

I’ve been feeling much better, but my bowling scores didn’t necessarily show it until last night, which was on the pair I’ve been killing this season. The first game was rougher, but I was clean the rest of the night after making a ball change in the 9th frame of that game. Also, none of the open frames in the first game were on single pins.

Result: 174-206-248=628
Average (87 games): 181
Average for last 9 games: 184
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 631

Composite average (162 games): 180

Si was absent, and Tom was up and down, but did shoot 265 first game to help us win the point. My third game allowed us to win that point and total (by 75 pins).

My standings update, after Week 31:

• Brunswick Mixed: After splitting 2-2 with Striking Gentlemen, Let’s Mix Em Up is in a tie for 7th place with Dawg Pound and Gutt Er Done, nine points behind Creeden’s Mustangs, who lead Sweet Rolls by 1.5 points, Minds in the Gutter (tomorrow night’s opponents) by three points, and Last Empire by four points. Tom had high scratch and handicap game last week in men’s “C”, and Si swept the high scores in men’s “D”.
• Sunday Niters: After failing to win points against Broads With Balls, The Three Stooges are in 6th place, 21 points behind Broads With Balls, who lead Ten Is Enough (Sunday night’s opponents) by eight points, Suzy’s Crew by 15 points, and We Don’t Give a Split by 16 points. Note: The league didn’t vote a prize for a league champion, so there will only be payouts by half-season and no roll-off.

My Week 27 bowling, frame-by-frame

Carry was a major issue tonight, as I left 13 single pins, 10 of which were corner pins. I missed four of the single pins, but, on a lot of nights, I wouldn’t have had to shoot them. The second game was almost clean, despite the big split, as I slid the 6 in the vicinity of the 7.

Result: 143-177-161=481
Average (75 games): 180
Average for last 9 games: 165
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 559

Composite average (159 games): 180

Peter returned tonight, but we still lost all eight to first place.

My Week 30 bowling, frame-by-frame

While this is a different night if I make more of my single pins, I did have a decent game in a game other than the first, and carry was more the issue in the third.

Result: 150-196-147=493
Average (84 games): 180
Average for last 9 games: 164
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 626

Composite average (156 games): 180

I didn’t remember Si shooting 500 since we started bowling together again, but he did last night with a 515, thanks to a 213 third game. We won the third game, and total came down to the other anchor getting pins off a spare, which he didn’t. Tom also chipped in a 234 third game and had a 549.

The usual standings update; post will be updated with Sunday Niters when available:

• Brunswick Mixed: After splitting 2-2 with Party of Six, Let’s Mix Em Up is now tied with that team for 8th place, nine points behind Creeden’s Mustangs, who lead Minds in the Gutter by a point, Spare Change by three points, and Sweet Rolls by 3.5 points. Striking Gentlemen are tonight’s opponents. Our 1,186 was high team handicap game, Tom swept the high scores in the men’s “C” division, and Si had high handicap game in men’s “D”.
• Sunday Niters: After winning two points from Adam & Steve (Team 4 on Bowler Express), The 3 Stooges are tied for 4th place with Suzy’s Crew, 13 points behind Broads With Balls (Sunday night’s opponents), who lead Ten Is Enough by two points and Here For Beer by 12 points. The LeagueSecretary.com sheet wasn’t available at the time of this post, but I don’t think either Ed or I figured in the week’s high scores.

There is just one quarter left in the Pepsi league season, and most know it will be bowled on Kegel Beaten Path, with the overhead graph linked on the name. Good luck & good bowling starting next week! 🙂

My Week 26 bowling, frame-by-frame

This was about the same as Wednesday night, but with worse scores. I again lost steam in the third game, with splits adding to a poor spare game, in which I missed the only 10 pins that I missed.

Result: 182-169-126=477
Average (72 games): 181
Average for last 9 games: 170
Next weeks AVG+1 score: 572

Composite average (153 games): 181

Peter was absent, but should return next week. Team won the first game, but lost the other two and total (by 71 pins).

My Week 29 bowling, frame-by-frame

I definitely felt better out there tonight, particularly in the first game, with my full sister, who’d never seen me as a real bowler, on hand for moral support. I maybe should have been over average tonight, but a bad third game, in which I wasn’t making spares, cost me that.

Result: 221-179-135=535
Average (81 games): 180
Average for last 9 games: 170
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 576

Composite average (150 games): 181

Kathy made a lineup change in the week I missed, with Tom and Si swapping spots, and the change seemed to help everyone, as I was the only one under average tonight. I do need to make special mention of Tom, who had 289-205-254 for a 748, with the game and series both personal highs.

As for the points, we crushed the first game (1,186 with handicap), but lost the other two by a total of just 34 pins for a 2-2 split. Series was 3,239 with handicap, and I don’t remember any of my teams with that high a total for one night.
