    3 300s would be a 900 ring. You have to just bowl any 3game combo that equates to an 800 something .

    First off Congrats on getting the 800 ring that is no
    small feat in itself as it takes 3 games of at least 267+
    to get there and it is a lot harder to get an 800 series
    than it is to just bowl a single 300 game.

    CONGRATS!!!

    The 800 series has eluded me in all of my years of bowling. Have come close several times, 792 is high series.

    That is an amazing accomplishment. As others have said even better than a 300.

    Also, I am amazed at the turn around time you got the ring. I have had to wait 5+ months before for a 300 ring in the past. Wonder if it is actually Keepsake or the local Bowling Association that held it up.

    Thanks everyone! The series was 262,280,289 . 30/36 strikes.
    First game i rushed picking up the bucket in the 10th, otherwise i would have had around a 850.
    Pretty solid in the pocket all night, a few almost splits that caved in and otherwise great carry.

    True it is humbling. Bowled Nationals with 2 guys on the team who each have 70+ 300 games and 20+ 800 series. I bowled better than both of them in Reno. I have that on my record even though I haven't bowled the 800 yet.

    Default Question on your 800!!

    Was it on a two, three, four, five person league? Mixed, or all male?
