If I'm misunderstanding this rule I'm sure Bowl1820 will correct me.
2. Adult Awards.
A member is eligible for one award in each of the following single game categories during a fiscal year (August 1-July 31):
a. 300*
b. 275 to 299 all averages are eligible
c. 250 to 274 with a 215 average or below
d. 225 to 249 with a 190 average or below
e. 200 to 224 with a 165 average or below
f. 175 to 199 with a 140 average or below
g. 150 to 174 with a 120 average or below
h. 125 to 149 with a 100 average or below
i. Eleven (11) strikes in a row when the score is 299 or less*
j. 75 Pins Over Average in a single game
3. Where a choice of awards is available in any category, the member is entitled to a choice of an award for the first score recorded. Any additional score in the same category that fiscal year will be officially recognized by USBC, but will not qualify for an award.
*Cannot be earned while pre or post bowling unopposed. (See CAQs in Chapter 4: 111a/1 and 111e/7.)

' Members are eligible for one award per accomplishment each season'

This just means you have to pay for the others after the first

my 11 in a role has happed 4 times, and on a seniors league, that is not sanctioned!!! Dang it!! They vote each year wither to go sanctioned or not, and they always vote NO!
I almost had a 300 their last year 298, 290! What a heart break that would have been if I would have gotten it, and then not credited to Bowing awards com

Hummm how did you know my last name? Just curious..... No Larry's in my family linage that I know of! There are others with the same spelling that are not related. Maybe bowling run's in the Pence genes!!

Hey Mike, the sheets of the scores you're posting have your first and last name.. DUHHH!!! LOL

[MICHAEL]

da,,,,,,,, LOL,,, It's an AGE RELATED THING!!! ( thanks bud!! LOL Here I thought the guy might be psychic!!

[MICHAEL]

Well my friends, life has changed since my 300! Now when I walk in the AMF on Vivion, here in Kansas City Mo., people look at me, but when I notice the glance, and turn my head their way, they turn their heads off quickly,,, not unlike the reaction people use to give a gunslinger in the old West Day’s when he would walk into the salon, with his shiny Colt 45, hanging down just inches from his trigger hand!

I am now a Bowler to be feared, and given respect! I have young whippersnappers running up to my side with their eyes bigger than a couple IQ tour pearls, wanting to touch my right hand, my bowling bag, even my oil rags, hoping some of what makes me the man that did the 300 rubs off on them!
It a whole new realm of existence, being in that elite club of men that have bowled a 300 at age 64! I did a little checking and guess what (average Joe bowler),,,, the number is so small that it’s not worth the typing on this thread!

Guys and Gals are constantly asking me:


Iceman,, gulp,,,, would you consider bowling with us on our team?
Iceman,,, would you mind if I name my first born after you?
Iceman,, can I have your signature on this bowling drink napkin?
Iceman,, is it true that The Dude is, in reality your grandson??
On,,, and ON,,, and ON!!!!

With fame comes all of the above, and it’s a good thing that I have the ability not to let it all go to my head!! I plan on staying humble, meek, modest, and above all, A Great Role Model for all the young guns out there! ICEMAN

Iceman once shook my bowling hand and that night i bowled a 800 series

THAnKS e-tank,,,, you didn't have to say that!!! It was always in you!! I could see it,,,, least I tank so!!!! LOL
take care... now shoot for a 900! (

Its hard being Iceman now! That 300 game has me dressing up less conspicuously! I get a heck of a lot more freedom dressing as above. Only problem seems to be younger kids,,,,, They are all over me?? Haven't figured that out yet,,,, maybe its the Red Color of my outfit? Here I am collecting cloths for needy bowlers that spend all their money on bowling balls, and equipment!! Its hot wear that suit in May!

[MICHAEL]

Ok,, MY remarkably handsome Dexter Blood Red, and darker then night itself black, exchangeable soles and heels, shoes came in last night! I now plan on becoming a Slider!! ( Any of you seen the movies "Sliders") Not a bad Flick, worth the watch! Anyway, now I think I will be able to get more of my magnificent quads into the power of the ball, not to mention even more speed! Being Iceman,,, the slide should come natural to me.

Manic said I can't wear them without her being present! Said that Iceman looks waaaaaay to sexy with those Deep Rich Red and black Dexter shoes, and snowman white and green socks!!!

Awesome ring! Happy to see you have it presented to you, especially with all the great bowlers in the league. I would say out of the 28 bowlers in the league (2 on a team league), at least half of them average 215+, and all over 90% of the league averages 200+. It's a great league with a lot of great bowlers!

I was thinking what an honor it would be to have high average in a league with these exceptional bowlers, but I knew it wasn't likely considering there are a few guys who average 240 at different alleys. Well, 12 games into the season and I'm first with a 242 average right now! Next closest is 232 or something (and a lot of bowlers in the 225-232 range). I hope I can keep this up.

ENOUGH ABOUT ME THOUGH. GO ICEMAN! That ring is truly awesome! I'm hoping you shoot another 300 here soon! or 800!
