-200 avg (so close!)
- bowl in a tournament
-score top 5 in the end of the league sweeper
Since I missed my goal of a 220+ average this Summer (actually ended with a 219.64), I will make that my goal for Fall 2013-2014. I also would like a sanctioned 800 (Haven't had one in eons) and a 300...

My standards seem low compared to the rest of you as I'm just a newbie in comparison. :P
Mine are:
1) Improve my average from last season by at least 20 pins (so end my league with at least a 140 average)
2) Have a better showing in tournaments than last year (last year wasn't bad but I'm not settling for how I did last year)
3) Fill more frames; work on spares and avoid splits.
4) Get more accurate and consistent.
5) Figure out how I'm going to convert my spares with a spare ball once I get it drilled, haha.
6) Possibly sign up for more tournaments if possible. I did two this past winter/season, so maybe if I have a better showing I can go to more.![]()
If you're interested in bowling in tournaments, you will need a USBC sanctioned average. Most of the time people join a league and pay the USBC membership though that. You can become a USBC member by signing up at Bowl.com, but you still need to bowl in a sanctioned league to get the average.
Most tournaments want to use your highest average from the previous full season. If you don't have a previous years average, they will take a summer league ave. If You don't have one of those either they will take a current season's average, as of the date you enter the tournament, as long as you have bowled at least a certain number of games, ( possibly 21 )
If you can't get onto a regular team, see if you can join the league as a floating sub. It might take a bit longer to get the minimum number of games, but you'll get there eventually.

I haven't done a league since last year when I did a youth sport league in June. Before that, I had done a youth scholarship league started in January, and my final average that time was 175
