How about a clean series?

So Wednesday night I didn't break any personal bests or anything, had a good night, shot 692.

And my team mate said "you know you just shot a clean series?" Sure enough I looked back and I didn't have an open frame for the entire night.

Is this pretty common or did I just hit a fluke milestone? I mean, I'm really happy I picked up all the spares I should have and everything, but I attribute it more to a lucky break of getting no bad splits all night (I guess I should have bought a powerball ticket too...).

I think there used to be an award given for a clean series? Might have been a local thing. Either way, it's a pretty cool accomplishment for a night of bowling.

I think it's tough to do avoiding splits and picking up all spares is no easy task.

Nice job, and great series too! At a time when they are cutting back on ALL AWARDS, I doubt it will ever happen.
I would make a copy of the score sheet, (they will do that for you at most establishments,,, a copy of frame by frame),,,, then you could frame it yourself, of just put it in a file folder to save. NICE JOB!!

I hope your teammates bought you a beer! I sure would have

Not common that I know of and a great accomplishment. Clean games I think are pretty common - I typically will have 2 in a normal series but rarely shoot a 3 game series without at least 1.
