Dumping sandbagging whatever

[edpup316]

im a half sand bagger and half not cause i have a few good days and the other days i have bad days but more bad days then good but for the past 3 weeks ihave had a few good games of 200 but always end up with one game beeing below avg.

Your not a sand bagger. Your inconsistent. Baggers do it on purpose.

I may ask my league if they will allow me to re establish my average this season. We use our USBC sanctioned average, but with me totaly changing my style, to me that data is no longer relivant. I'm not even saying I think my average will be higher now, it could be lower, or the same depending on a few things, but I think it's more fair to the league, and myself to get a composite average of what I am actualy doing right now.

edpup reason why i say half and half is cause at the start of the year i started with a 179 avg then 2nd week went up to a 190 and then it droped down to a 148 was not making my spares and leaving alot of bad splits but out of it all there was only 1 spare thati made all season the 1-2-4-10 and the 1-2-10 i convert4ed that everything and once was lucky when i did not hit the right spot on the 1 pin and it missed the 10pin to the left but bounced out of the back and came up and hit the 10pin i got lucky there.


and another joke someone there ead to me one week when i ahd a 156 avg my highest game was 112 lowest 76 and he sead im haing such bad luck hope im not driving home tonight.

If your league is like most, you will only use the book average for the first 3 or 4 weeks. By the fifth game your average will be a truer reflection of your current performance, and by the eighth week last seasons average will be cosigned to history and no one will care unless you run into a ten pin drop rule.

i think we should just start cutting people whether they are sandbaggers or not. Ya we hurt some feelings of low avg bowlers that actually have a good day but it would out the more likely chance of that person being a sandbagger.

lol cut throat

Or better yet, we could hit them with actual bags of sand! And make them change their names to Sandy.

lmaooo

They wouldnt allow it i mean you start off with your old average anyway and then you establish one after a few weeks but the only way you establish a new average is not bowling for some years and even then your assigned one till your rated or you switch hands

Every league has their own by-laws governing this. Given that it's a different style (2 handed to 3 finger) the USBC would allow it but still up to the league.

Ok I'm glad I remembered this thread to go back to it. I had my first sanctioned league series yesterday I was really happy about then I get partnered with some random people thats cool I don't mind that. Then the game starts and they aren't caring just throwing talking about how it gets more serious later and don't try to hard now. Its about vegas not now in the league. I'm doing great finished my non sanctioned league 130-140 average. My series was a 180-133-145 so I was feeling it was even converting splits just had a problem of chopping it so I was missing some easy spares and my archnemesis the 7 pin. The whole time they just kept explaining the handicap and all that. I get it I'm an Accounting and Business Administration Major I don't want a crappy handicap when I know I can do better and I love looking at the league printout and seeing that average go up and list my high games and series. It was just kinda annoying I don't want to pay $18 a week and not take full advantage of it. I want to improve as a bowler. Sorry for the monologue had to vent a little cause I didn't really understand sandbagging till last night.

wow yea thats dumping or some call it average maintenance. Handicap isnt a bad thing its a need for bowlers who arent high average bowlers but bowl decently so that its even . You arent wasting your money as long as you guys are still winning games if they are throwing games then thats crappy.
