My Week 9 bowling, frame-by-frame

Some sloppy execution cost me a decent first game, and I was only able to get over average in the other two. An issue might have been pacing, as Steve was the only other bowler on the pair, with our opponents forfeiting.

Result: 135-173-178=486
Average (27 games): 170
Average for last 9 games: 173
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 514

Composite average (30 games): 172

Team won all four forfeit points, with the team just getting our forfeit score in the first game.

After winning one point from 5 Spares, Let’s Mix Em Up is tied for 11th with Great Balls of Fire and 5 Spares, nine points behind Party of Six, who lead Stacked, Creeden’s Mustangs, and Last Empire by four points. The coming week is a position round, and our opponents are the aforementioned Great Balls of Fire.

My Week 8 bowling, frame-by-frame

A little bit of everything last night except for first-ball gutter balls and split conversions. I’m proudest of my clean second game, and no missed single-pin spares all night.

Result: 173-191-175=539
Average (24 games): 172
Average for last 9 games: 177
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 541

Steve was absent, and the team only won the second game.

Si had the high scratch & handicap series in the men’s “E” division, with only Joe Sullivan having a higher game in the division.

My Week 7 bowling, frame-by-frame

I felt I executed better today, but a few early splits and transition misses later held my scores down. I did punch out in the 10th in two of the three games, the first coming when my team needed me.

Result: 172-179-183=534
Average (21 games): 171
Average for last 9 games: 177
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 537

Composite average (24 games): 172

Si had one of his best nights of my recent memory, going 183-179-201 for a 563 set; it helped the team win all four points.

After winning three points from Last Empire, Let’s Mix Em Up is in 13th place, eight points behind Party of Six, who lead 10th Frame Magic, The Fun Team (tonight’s opponents), and Spare Us by two points.

My Week 6 bowling, frame-by-frame

Although my execution was much better in the third game, a couple of untimely splits prevented that game from scoring better. There were a couple of single-pin misses, including one filling the last frame.

Result: 171-159-198=528
Average (18 games): 169
Average for last 9 games: 175
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 513

Composite average (21 games): 171

Team night wasn’t too special, but we still won the first two games & total.

After winning a point from Stacked, Let’s Mix Em Up is in a tie for 14th with 5 Spares, eight points behind Party of Six and 10th Frame Magic; those teams are a point ahead of Creeden’s Mustangs and two ahead of Last Empire (tonight’s opponents), Livin on a Spare, and Spare Us.

I had the high handicap series in the men’s “B” division last week (632, tied with Joe Chan).

My Week 5 bowling, frame-by-frame

Most of my difficulty was finding the adjustment for the left lane, because I had 5/5 strikes on the right lane in the second game, repeating my first game score in the third when I did find it.

Result: 183-173-183=539
Average (15 games): 168
Average for last 9 games: 178
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 513

Composite average (18 games): 171

Si was absent, and we might have been able to use him, as we only won first game. On the other hand, the opposing anchor shot 747.

Let’s Mix Em Up lost all four to Lost & Found and are now tied for 13th with Stacked (tonight’s opponents) , nine points behind Party of Six, who are two points ahead of Creeden’s Mustangs and three ahead of 10th Frame Magic, Great Balls of Fire, and Lost & Found.

My Week 4 bowling, frame-by-frame

I had two decent games, but then seemed unable to stay right of the headpin, which was how I left the four spares I missed in the game. When my leaves were more reasonable, I usually made the spare.

Result: 192-174-145=511
Average (12 games): 165
Average for last 9 games: 170
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 500

Composite average (15 games): 169

Our opponents had two bowlers averaging in, so I won’t be able to give a result until the next standings update.

After winning three of four from Sweet Rolls, Let’s Mix Em Up is in a tie for 10th with Last Empire, five points behind Party of Six, who are two points ahead of five other teams. Lost & Found are tomorrow night’s opponents.

I had high scratch & handicap game of the week in the men’s “B” division.
