Sure it means something. My first 700 plus my 800's add perfect games were non-sanctioned. No big deal. At least now I know I'm capable and that applies to you also. Now you know you have the ability and they say the first time is the hardest. I don't need a patch, magnet or ring to prove it. You know you did it and that's all the really matters.

That's just like how I bowled a 221, 232, and 233 today while practicing. Yeah, I wish it counted for something but getting them in a row gives me confidence. If you gain one thing from bowling a 751 series, it should be the confidence to do it again....and again.........and again.

Way to go ahankist congrats on your first 700 series!!!!!!

It doesn't matter if it was non-sanctioned or not because you now
know that you have done it and know that you have the ability to
do it again.

Anytime I bowl a 700 or 800 series I'm tickled pink whether it is a
sanctioned or non-sanctioned series because I know I did it. That
is just like bowling 300 games that are non-sanctioned it is still a
300 game no matter if it is sanctioned or not at least a person
knows that they did it.

agree with all the comments.. doesn't matter if it's sanctioned or not.. the thing is you know you have the ability to do it..

Sure I wish all of my honor scores / series were sanctioned when I bowled them but that is not the case if it were
then I would hold all kinds of local records on the most 300 games and 800 series bowled in our center. I only have
one 299 game and one 300 game and several 700+ series that are sanctioned but I know that one day I will break
out and have a 800+ series that will be sanctioned hopefully anyway.

My first thought when I rolled a 300 (did that before I broke 700) was, damn I actually did it. Now let's see if I can do it again. A month later I did but went through 3 leagues this past season and didn't have any 300s or 700s. I will this year (I hope).
This summer league a client of mine bowled his first 300 and another broke 800. Both of them did it before I did this summer season. I'm happy and happy for them. They are numbers and goals but obtaining them doesn't define us as people or really as bowlers either.
