Sport League Scores

In response to Michael's request here is a thread for who bowls in a sport league to put up their numbers. Not that any one is going to check, but let's keep this to people who actually belong to a sport league, not people who just try it once in a while when league is over or if they get to use a lane that was oiled for sport and wasn't needed.

I bowl in the DV8 Challenge league at Nutmeg Bowl, Fairfield, CT
These scores can be verified by going to leaguesecretary.com and looking up league i.d. # 39320
The format for this league is: Scratch singles, with 4 bowlers per lane, two sets of two games with bowlers moving to a different pair after the first set. High score for each game on the pair earns 6 points, 2nd high - 4, 3rd high - 2. Same point for set total wood. 4 point bonus for a clean game, with an additional 4 points for a clean set.

There aren't any sport leagues within a reasonable distance during the fall. There are 2 I bowl in the summer and I average within 5 pins of my THS average. The only sport shots available during the regular season are king of the hills. Although I will be bowling a 9 pin no tap tournament next Friday on a 45 foor sport compliant pattern

I guess we should include tournament scores although the No-Tap will need a big disclaimer. Otherwise this will be a pretty quiet thread.

What's considered sport? Anything that isn't house?

USBC, Kegel, the animal patterns??

Just wondering

Sport patterns have a oil ratio of 3:1 or less

read about sport bowling here:
http://www.bowl.com/sportbowling/

For a sanctioned sport league. (a lot of houses don't sanction as sport leagues, because of all the trouble they have to go to for it. A lot of unsanctioned sport leagues are referred to as renegade leagues, because it's a way to basically legally sandbag.)

1. What are the lane pattern requirements for Sport Bowling leagues/tournaments?
Due to the multitude of lane machines, lane oils, and lane surfaces, specific criteria was developed for Sport Bowling leagues and tournaments to follow to ensure that the pattern they develop is within the specifications listed below.

A. The Sport Bowling pattern oil ratio requirement shall be a maximum of 3:1 regardless of the type of lane surface or the age of the lane surface.

B. Prior to Sport Bowling league/tournament competition (including Team USA Experience), the following must be done (See USBC Sport Bowling Manual, Chapter 2):

Each lane shall be stripped prior to oiling of the Sport condition.
Tapes will be taken at 22 feet and two feet before the end of the pattern.
The ratio of oil shall be no more than 3:1
The ratio shall be defined as the average amount of oil (in units) between boards Left 18 to Right 18 divided by the average amount of oil (in units) between boards R3-R7 & L3-L7, respectively.
The amount of oil measured on the outside boards (average of R/L3-7) at 22 feet must be greater than 10 units, and the amount of oil measured on the center boards (average of L18 to R18) must not exceed 80 units of oil.
The maximum amount of oil from boards R8 to R17 and L8 to L17 shall not be greater than 130 percent of the average of boards L18 to R18.
The minimum amount of oil from boards R8 to R17 shall not be less than 70 percent of the average of boards R3 to R7.
The minimum amount of oil from boards L8 to L17 shall not be less than 70 percent of the average of boards L3 to L7.
There is no pattern length minimum or maximum.
There is no lengthwise ratio requirement.
All other USBC requirements are still in effect (i.e. three-unit minimum)
