hey aslan if u got oberlin lanes on my list take it off its hand written scores in that ally still unless u guys will take my hand written score but just making sure you know before it comes up and is a problem

All I can say...is...if the revised numbers are less than a pin different than the originally posted numbers....I'm not updating them. I mean for *&Dks sake...if we're going to, before this thing even starts, get bent about a .6 pin difference...this thing is going to be WAY too much of a hassle.

Using the USBC Sport average adjustment chart a 170 sport average equates to a 193 average on a house shot. That makes at least 18 extra pins of handicap for me if you don't change it.

My bad, I will change it. You have 2 averages listed. Are they both sport averages? You have a 170 and a 167. The 170 has the little icon next to it which I'm assuming means a "sport league". But the 167 does not have that icon. Averaging the 2 together will give you a 180 with 36 pins handicap. Is that more accurate?

Just so everyone knows;

The centers HAVE been posted. For the sake of time, I automatically re-drew centers over 45 miles away. Of course, you have the option of bowling in the original center drawn if you would rather….I just assumed most people wouldn't want to.

I also posted the physical pairings for California participants. This month it'll be Bunny and MWhite…most likely at Deer Creek Lanes in Rancho Cucamonga. They have the option of doing it at Mike's other 2 draws (Palos Verdes and Gardena Bowling Center) but I doubt either of them will want those two centers given the distance, location, etc…

I also posted the virtual pairings that will be the people who are actually bowling against each other this month.

Any issues/questions….post them here so we can try to keep that thread as clean as possible. Good Luck!

No, the 167 is opposite hand (lefty).

Let the trash talk begin!

[Mike White]

Let the trash talk begin!

My recycle can is full to the top, I really need to empty that this Thursday.

My yard waste can however is empty. Mikey don't like doing yard work.

Oh, wait. This is the wrong kind of trash talk.

[Mike White]

You have to realize, every rule, no matter how complicated, is designed to ensure MWhite can't have an excuse for losing.

There is only one rule that can ensure MWhite can't have an excuse for losing.


Rule #1, MWhite wins.

Just so everyone is clear on how I'm going to get your averages:

1) I will use your USBC ID# and look up your MOST RECENT LEAGUE AVERAGE. If you have multiple leagues listed for the same time period, I will use a composite of however many averages there are.

NOTE: IF YOU BOWL IN A SPORT LEAGUE....PLEASE let me know so I can adjust your average accordingly using the USBC chart.

2) If I check and your data on the USBC (Bowl.com) is not there, I will use a scoresheet from the week of 3/31-4/6 (most recent week preceeding). If you bowl in more than one league, you're on the honor system about sending all of the scoresheets to me so I can do a composite...but as long as I have ONE, we can at least get started.

NOTE: AGAIN, if one of the leagues is a SPORT LEAGUE....let me know so I can properly adjust the average.

This is important because, take ME for example...I just checked Bowl.com and my average from last season isn't uploaded yet. So, since it's not there....I'd go with last weeks scoresheet. Now, for me, thats not AS big of a deal since the league that started last week uses carryover averages...but some leagues DO NOT. Had this league decided to re-establish in week 1...I'd have a 148 average rather than a 165-166 (because I didn't bowl very well last week; week 1).

It's up to everyone to KNOW the above items and make sure they have an average listed on Bowl.com...because if they don't, they need to get me last week's scoresheet(s). I know everyone is chomping at the bit to get started so I don't want a ton of delay waiting for this person or that person to verify averages.

ALSO...the plan was; Lets say my average is 151. THAT is your average for the first month and what your starting handicap is based on. However, after month #1 (first round); your average going into May would be calculated (assuming in this example I bowl a 148-148-147 in month 1) = [151+151+151+148+148+147]/6 = 149. I'm not sure if thats how carryover is usually done so give me input if you have an issue with establishing your TOUR AVERAGE using your starting average and then adjusting it based on how you play as we go along (but always counting that starting average in the calculation). So going into June; assuming I bowl 3 160s in May, it would be [151+151+151+148+148+147+160+160+160]/9 = 153. The thought process is that by always counting that starting average in the calculation, even though it's effect lessons over time, it keeps the bowler somewhat grounded in case in the first couple weeks they have really weird outings (good or bad).

Ok, based on the criteria above, how did you assign me a 195 average? That was from 2 summers ago.

And how did you assign 151 to yourself. You commented above how you would be 165-166.

As for the average used the 2nd month. Your example is the ONLY time I've ever seen the first session's entry average used in computing the average to be used in the 2nd session.

In the real world, you either continue to use the entering average, or you take total pins divided by games bowled. Again, not a good idea to reinvent the wheel.

Even though we have an even # of entries, the Bye / Absent score thing needs to be agreed upon, because as this thing winds down, there will be people who realize they can't qualify for the finals, and will probably drop out.
