This last Tuesday on our, (what I would call top gun league), lots of high average bowlers, we had 4 300 games, by four different bowlers! It was almost laughable... ITs a 4 game format, and every series we had a 300!!! Has anyone one else ever experienced 4 300 games on A LEAGUE NIGHT??? Wow My high game of the night was my first with a 258. But no cigar!! lol

interesting note, there are only 12 teams, two on a team! total of 24 bowlers! Even if it were 4 person teams it would be wild, that would be 48 bowlers,,, but,, BUT 24 bowlers and 4 300 games... we were all laughing and having a great time,,, God I love bowling!!! (:) On any given night????????
I had something as fun happen a few years ago in my league. We had both anchor bowlers in the same game shoot 300 against each other. One losing 312 to 302 by handicap.

Wow.... funny you say mention that!! When I bowled my 300 a month ago, it was a shoot out also!! Two person league, My wife and me against two other guys! I am the anchor on our team, and Jerry was their anchor!
He and I went head to head until the 10 frame, where he had a 10 pin leave, that he missed, I went on to throw all 12 strikes!! It was just like the shoot out at the OK-Coral!!!

Actually, it was FIVE 300 games. One young guy (around my age, 24) shot 2 in a row. The first time I have witnessed 2 in a row before, it was pretty cool. In all there were five 300 games and three 800's shot that night. I started with a 180, but shot 770 the next 3 games after that (yes it's a 4 game league, and all 3 of the 800's were the first 3 games).
To me, the shot didn't seem any different then what it had been. Just a heck of night for our league, which has at least 8-12 bowlers over 220 average, and 3 of us over 230. Just really good bowlers had a hot night I think.

Hey, Jason,,, I guess I didn't catch that 5th one! lol What series did the guy have that had two 300 consecutively? Did he have a great 3 game? Or was it game 3 and 4? Do we have bowlers here in Kansas City Mo!!! LOL thanks for that correction!

This will be interesting!! I started with a 268, and a 700 series on the money! Will it be a good Start again for me! tune in later!!

Not really, just a bunch of Top Guns from around the Kansas City area! Here we are noted for our Great Barbecue, Beautiful Women, and Bowlers!! Its a league with a good money for the winners, and a number of 230 and up bowlers! I would say the average is 225 for the league! It would be higher, but mine brings it down, lol,,, 200! But, I am a 64 year old, broken down X Iron Worker, Work in Progress, that does have ONE sanctioned 300! LOL

Last week 5 300s on Tuesday night! This week NOT-a-ONE!! What was it about last week??? MAGIC!!! I doubt I will ever witness that again in my life time!!
I know the mechanic that oils the lanes, and he said same old, same old each week!! Same pattern, nothing any different!

It was a night to bowl, as you well know, and you always reap what you sow!
Into the lanes of Greatness bowled the High Rollers, not to be denied their glory!
Not one, Not two, not 3, 4, but 5! If I had not been there,
I would have to swear, that it didn’t even happen, and couldn’t even
Happen anywhere.
But I was there, and I swear they bowled like a bear, without any hair, up in the air, the lanes were
Fair, not even bare, but rich in glory and reward!
Their motto was, and always will be Practice, Practice, Good, Better best,,,, never let it rest, till your
Good is better, till your better is best!
I bowled among the best, my story tells the rest, Long live the night of july 22 2013, and
May history be its test.
Not 1, 2, 3, 4, but 5, has there ever been a grander league night, not according to my insight!
The Stars were aligned, and gave glory its due, how many 300’s this night??? I haven’t a clue!

Yes judy,,, I had a lawyer friend of mine, that I went to high school with check them out! He said they were legal, and would stand up in a court of law!! :p

I don't ever recall more than one being announced on any given night. A few years ago the same bowler had a perfect game in league on Monday and repeated the feat Wednesday night.

POOR Curt!!! LOL What are the odds that your NOT GOING TO GET THAT coveted 800 after bowling a couple 300!!!??? Do you remember his scores when he bowled the fantastic 858?
Do you mind me asking what the magic ball was that gave Curt the 858, and the drilling layout you used. All of my balls are pin up over ring finger. The one I had my 300 with was the IQ Pearl, pin up just above the ring finger! What style of bowler was Curt! Cranker??

Can't say 4 or 5, but on more than one occasion, we've had 3 300 games announced in our local house. A few months ago, this one young guy tossed 4 perfect games in a 10 day span, with 3 different balls!! That's a feat that I think is just freakin' amazing!
