    How is MWhite's average 220, when he holds the lead for scratch pin fall? We have bowled 12 games right? Scratch pin fall of 2736 would equal 228 average.
    High Sanctioned Scratch Game - 300(12) Hi Sanctioned Scratch Series - 822(3)
    2016/17 Book Average=221, 2017/18 Composite Average=223
    Equipment in the bag - Storm Crux Prime, Storm Physix, Roto Grip Idol, Roto Grip Idol Pearl, Roto Grip Hyper Cell Fused, Storm Sure Lock, Storm Drive, Roto Grip Winner Solid, Roto Grip Haywire, Storm Fever Pitch, Roto Grip Red ball spare.

    Rev Rate 400. Speed 18 at heads, 16.5-17 at pins. Axis tilt 10, Axis Rotation 55. PAP 5 5/8 x 5/8 up

    Remember we are using the Aslan invented means of calculating averages of including 3 additional games at the entering average, in my case 192.

    2736 + 576 = 3312, 3312 / 15 = 220

    Good lord, what an absolutely screwy way of calculating an average. No league/tournament calculates like that. Typically once you bowl 9 games, the average then starts to calculate. Guess I missed that part of the discussion or did not read it in the rules/information page.

    As has been explained MULTIPLE TIMES...there is a METHOD to the MADNESS!!!

    This tournament allowed in ALL bowlers...including many without sanctioned averages. Some had not even completed a full season.

    IF....we just use the averages they submit...then ignore that starting average and let them re-establish....they could theoretically SCREW themselves in one of two ways:

    1) They tank in month 1 and 2....sandbag if you will....then bowl 4 months of 190s and dominate the entire tournament.
    or
    2) They manage to have a couple really good months early on...then get completely DESTROYED the rest of the way.

    See, this is a TOURNAMENT...not a LEAGUE. And since it is very SHORT (6 months, once per month)....a person can be very, very affected by just ONE series. By always factoring in their starting average as a "month"...it keeps each player HONEST! They can still try to sandbag if they wish...but it won't be as effective given their starting average still counts as a "month". OR...they can have a couple really GREAT months early on....without that destroying their chances of making the finals.

    TOURNAMENTS generally do not do this...why? Because sanctioned tournaments required book averages. If you don't have a book average...you bowl in the scratch division. NOBODY without a book average would have participated in this tournament if we made them bowl with a 220 average. So we had to allow people with "questionable" averages to join....but create a way that they weren't given a huge advantage.

    Now, in terms of MWhite...despite whining about early on...it actually is helping him now. He had a huge 800+ series last week...his average shot up (as it should)...but didn't shoot up to an unrealistic level. And it shouldn't be a big deal to you if it's 220 or 228....because both averages get 0 pins handicap. So you and Mike are simply bowling each other scratch this month.

    Remember old folks...just because it's different; doesn't automatically make it "wrong".
