Updated my average. I thought I bowled 72 games in the prior league but only bowled 66.

Questions?
TCCStudent and I are bowling Wagoner tomorrow (Saturday), I do just bowl my 4 games (1 practice, 3 Tournament games) and this counts for both my match with JDilly and Physical Match with TCCStudent or do I have to bowl 7 games (1 practice, 3 for JDilly and 3 for TCCStudent)?

If I understand the set up correctly you and TCCStudentare not competing against each other, you are just bowling your tournament games in the same center at the same time. You will only bowl four games.
Unless one of you has a horrible day, the two of you should have an advantage. Even though you aren't bowling against each other, it's natural totry and beat the person who is on the pair with you.

First, thank you for bowling at one of the assigned centers after finding out Wagoner Bowl was only doing 'glow bowl'. The other option would have been Broken Arrow with the -10 pin handicap deduction per game.
Second, We agreed to 1 practice game per person. So most people will bowl 4 games with the last 3 counting. For those that have a PHYSICAL pairing (CA, OK); you will bowl 5 games; 2 practice followed by 3 games that count.
Actually, that was changed because you suggested we change it. Facepalm moment Part II.
Originally it was 1 game of practice for those bowling solo. Those bowling in pairs would split the 1 game of practice. Three people bowling would also split that one game. 4 people would split 2 games.
But a certain person, I believe MWhite, said that was completely unfair (and probably a face palm moment) that most people get a full game of practice yet those bowling against each other had to split a game or might only get 3-4 frames.
But yes…each person gets a game warm-up practice…if it's 2 people thats 2 games (1 for each person). That should be fair, easy to manage. I did not mean to imply that the "pair" gets 2 games. It's 1 game per bowler…so a pair would just play an extra game to start.
So, you're now saying that:
1 person bowls 4 games (1 practice, 3 count)
2 people bowl 8 games (2 practice, 6 count) which is (1 practice, 3 count) per person.
3 people bowl 12 games (3 practice, 9 count) which is (1 practice, 3 count) per person.
How then did you come up with this below?
This isn't implying that the "pair" gets 2 games of practice each, this is flat out stating that the pair get 2 games of practice each.
TCCStudent and I did just 1 practice game ( he shot the first 5 frames, I shot the last 5 frames ) as suggested in the original rules. I did not mind this, and I don't think TCCStudent mind it either. I felt warmed up and ready to go after the 5 frames.
I also have video of our entire round including our shared practiced and our 3 game match play. Will post a link once VT 1 rounds are posted by Aslan.
While agreed with what has been said, it should be 1 game for each player in all fairness, Cause if your in a city by yourself it is a full game of practice, where we only got 5 frames each since it was stated to share the practice game. I think it should be optional, I felt good and ready to bowl the match after 5 frames.
But we all know, this is the first round, there will be some kinks to work out and we should all do your best to help were we can. It will smooth out and we'll get it all worked out in the end.
Remember, we are doing this to ENJOY the sport, to help promote it, not cause issues for each other. TCCStudent and I talked to the staff at Muskogee Green County Lanes about what we were doing (and also the video camera set up) and they seemed interested in it.
I am enjoying this very much and look forward to the upcoming rounds.
As I stated, we followed the current stated rules, I felt fine with the 5 frame warm up.
