My Week 34 bowling, frame-by-frame

I mostly struggled with my release last night, failing to connect on a double and leaving multi-pin spares more often than not. The third game had a chance to be clean, but I missed the pocket in the 10th, leaving a tough spare.

Result: 154-154-180=488
Average (96 games): 179
Average for last 9 games: 165
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 581

Composite average (180 games): 179

Team won a close second game (by two pins) and the third by enough for total.

No really high scores in the Pepsi league last night, but I did want to note that Rai Doblmeier of the Lang’s Crew team converted the 7-10 split. Nice job! 🙂

Update on my league standings after Week 34:

• Brunswick Mixed: After winning all four from Knock Em Down, Let’s MixEm Up is in a tie for 5th place with Striking Gentlemen, six points behind Creeden’s Mustangs, who are a half-point ahead of Last Empire and Sweet Rolls and three points ahead of Minds in the Gutter. Spare Change will be our opponents tomorrow night; for the leaders, Creeden’s Mustangs bowl against Minds in the Gutter, Last Empire against 5 Spares, and Sweet Rolls against Gutt Er Done.
• Sunday Niters: The 4-4 split against We Don’t Give a Split enabled The Three Stooges to remain in 6th place in the final second half standings. Broads With Balls won the half by four points over Ten Is Enough.

My Week 30 bowling, frame-by-frame

I had a bad first game, missing consecutive 10 pins in it, but ended my season with two decent games thanks to strings of strikes. The 179 final average is still an improvement from last season.

Result: 132-188-198=518
Final average (84 games): 179
Average for last 9 games: 167

Composite average (177 games): 179

Team won second game and held on for total by one pin.

My Week 33 bowling, frame-by-frame

I bowled well enough to get my +1 tonight, but I also left some pins out there in single-pin misses, especially the two 8 pins I left on great shots. However, to provide the balance, I converted a couple of splits.

Result: 195-188-173=556
Average (93 games): 180
Average for last 9 games: 181
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 625

Composite average (174 games): 179

Si pre-bowled a 580, which provided us the foundation with which to win all four.

Updating my league standings after Week 33:

• Brunswick Mixed: After splitting 2-2 with Sweet Rolls, Let’s MixEm Up is in 8th place, nine points behind Creeden’s Mustangs, who lead Last Empire by a point-and-a-half, Sweet Rolls by 2.5 points, and Minds in the Gutter by five points. Knock Em Down will be tomorrow night’s opposition.
• Sunday Niters: After failing to win points from Ball Busterz, The Three Stooges are in 6th place and will bowl against We Don’t Give a Split to end the season Sunday night. Broads With Balls are leading by four points over Ten Is Enough, seven points over Suzy’s Crew, and ten points over Here For the Beer.

My Week 29 bowling, frame-by-frame

My night started out poorly (four straight open frames), and I never really recovered, though I bowled better after my ball change. My conversion of the 4-5-7 was probably the highlight of the night, given how difficult it is to cover the corner pin on that split.

Result: 138-170-171=479
Average (81 games): 179
Average for last 9 games: 163
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 572

Composite average (171 games): 179

Ed was the only bowler present who shot 500, but we still failed to win points.

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.
