Yesterday I bowled with The Dude, ( Mr. 300 ssss!) from 12 till 3, then my wife came up and we bowled while eating pizzia, until 6 pm! I lost count on the games, but 6 hours of none stop bowling! Not bad for a 64 year old broken down old Iceberg!! Iceman!! lol I feel pretty good today no pain at all! In fact getting ready to go cut up a bunch of tree's I downed the other day!! That is by far the longest I have ever bowled non stop!

I used to bowl 16 and 20 game marathon tournaments. Also when bowling regionals years ago if you madw finals between practice/warm ups and the games bowled it would be 25-30 games and roughly 8 hours

I've done 3 hours, at a fast pace, bowling 2 handed, about 25 games. That's about all I could handle. Now, with a smoother, easier style I would be interested in seeing how long I could go.

16 hours. Ate while bowling. Didn't sit down once. Had 1 cigarette and two quick trips to the bathroom. No clue how many games as I didn't have the scoring monitor on and never asked.

Are you still going after the 24 hour record for most pins? Or is that on hold due to changing jobs?

On hold until after the season due to availability of the lanes and getting volunteers qualified to count pins. They have to either be USBC members or alley employees. Having trouble getting people to commit to the overnight hours.

my alley had a $5 unlimited special from open to 9pm, we got there around 3pm, and then bowled from 9pm-closing(1am), so thats 10hrs, we ate and drank beer the whole time

I did 18 games in 3 1/2 hours once. My body was OK after that but my hand took a week to heal up from that one, LOL! I can't imagine bowling for 122 hours like that guy did for the world record, that's just insane.
Most pins in 24 hours, now that sounds interesting, that way it's not just you rolling ball after ball, but instead requires skill. If I were to ever attempt a record, that'd be the one I'd want to beat.

No it isn't. We can't explain the real reason because this is a family site.

The most I've bowled was on my brithday. I was bowling before all the other guests to the party showed up, I bowled for like an hour before, and the party lasted for like 2 hours. I can only guess how many games it was. Probably around 20.
