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

I have to count my blessings where I find them, and tonight, it was getting back to 500 in this league after three straight nights under that mark. Splits mostly did in the second game, or it could have been better.

Result: 170-147-183=500
Average (30 games): 170
Average for last 9 games: 157
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 517

Composite average (54 games): 172

Team won first and third games, but lost the second by enough to also lose total. Si was the steadiest one on my team tonight, with all three games over his average.

Last week in brackets, I got to one final, losing to Carol Andersen in that bracket.

After winning a forfeit point from Bi Polar Bowlers, Seven Deadly Pins stand in a tie for 16th place with Knock Em Down, 15 points behind Mixed Nuts, who are a point ahead of Lost Empire 2 and three ahead of Team 14. Lickety Splits will provide the opposition tonight.

Furious Five won only two points from All 7’s, and, while we remain in second, we’re now eight points behind VEGBAGS. All 7’s are in third, 15 points behind the lead.

In what is believed to also be a first for this virtual league, champ submitted a 218 triplicate series last week, which was his first triplicate ever.

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

Mostly a consistent night. Credit Lee for suggesting the move that got me back in the pocket second game, but then the line disappeared for both of us and we couldn’t muster much third game.

Result: 190-197-166=553
Average (24 games): 175
Average for last 9 games: 174
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 540

Composite average (51 games): 173

After winning a close first game, total wasn’t really in doubt for us after the second game, though we lost the third game by a healthy margin. For her part, Rachel had all three games over her average, and Lee shot in the 620s thanks to a 258 second game.

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

Tough night, particularly in the third game, when I couldn’t make a spare after the 6th frame. That’s all I’ll say about it.

Result: 156-153-116=425
Average (27 games): 171
Average for last 9 games: 152
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 534

Composite average (48 games): 172

The other team forfeited (only two of the five bowlers present), but team only won the second game (we didn’t lose points because we could only win them).

After failing to win points from Macs, Pin Pals are tied for 7th with Pinknockers, Who’s Carrying Who, and The Minions 2, 10 points behind Macs, who are two points ahead of Where is B? and six points ahead of Ten Is Enough. We bowl against Adam & Steve Sunday night.

After failing to win points from Lost Empire 2, Seven Deadly Pins are in 15th, 13 points behind the leading Team 14, who lead Mixed Nuts by a point, Lost Empire 2 by two points, and Spare Us by three points. Wednesday night is a position round, and we’re bowling against Bi Polar Bowlers.

Furious Five won five points from Team 6, but still lost ground to the leaders, VEGBAGS, as that team swept all seven. We are five points behind them, with Team 8 12 points behind the leaders in third.

Individually for us, Dylan585 had the high over-average series of the week. 🙂

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

Considering the long day I had at the Bowler of the Year tournament, I bowled better than I thought. There weren’t many strikes, but I did make most of my spares, with the only miss I’d probably like back being the 9 pin in the second game.

Result: 172-183-179=534
Average (21 games): 174
Average for last 9 games: 164
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 541

Composite average (45 games): 174

Both Lee and I were over average for the night, but we ran into an opposing bowler who had two games at least 50 pins over his average. Points were there for us second and third game if I performed in the 10th, but that was not to be.

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. 🙂

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
