RADICAL New Scoring System

[Mike White]

In baseball if my team gets on base with a walk, and error and another walk then gets a home run in the ninth that is 4 RUNS.
Your team gets 3 home runs and a walk you only have 3 RUNS.
Your team did better but lost.
I have had both 299 and 290. More pressure in the the 299. I have had 278 with 11 in a row. Greek church and 11 in a row, Also seen 295 games just the other way.
If if's and buts were candy and nuts we would all have a Merry Christmas......

My team may have hit better, but it lost due to poor pitching and fielding, so no, it didn't do better overall.

There is only pressure if the score means something.

Now all a 300 means is a game won, and maybe not even that.

Predictability is not a bad thing.

A condition that provides help is a bad thing.

When a person misses their target two or more boards left, the ball should not skid straight to the pocket.



That is an example of way too much help from the oil pattern.

Take away that hold area and I doubt he averages 150.

Not broken?

If you go 9 spare, then 11 in a row, you score 290.

If I go 11 in a row, then a 9 count, I score 299.

We've both thrown the same length of strikes.

When we miss, we both left just one pin.

And you've shown you have the ability to pick up that one pin, while I haven't.

Yet my score is higher. That ain't broken?

While we may have thrown the same length in strikes, there's a big difference between the front 11 and the back 11.

The difference is the front 11 are more important than the back 11 for the perfect game, and once you miss the first one you know you can't be perfect.

Then you have to have it classified as a Sport League, and once you do that you can't use the THS for the other weeks.

And don't forget that there are a lot of people who don't want any part of Sport patterns, that's why they have the THS.

So how would changeing the scoring system be any different ?

I don't want to change the scoring system.

[Mike White]

I don't want to change the scoring system.

I don't want to change it either... but that's not the same thing as saying it's not broken.

What do you base that on?

If the lane man accidentally puts the wrong pattern out for a THS league night, do you really think by bowling on that wrong pattern the scores don't count?

The gentleman was saying to purposely use a Sport pattern. And even if it is "accidental", be very careful of the bowler(s) who know how Sport patterns work and sooner or later they're gonna raise he11, and that can spell trouble. Just sayin'.
