BowlingBoards Virtual Tour 2014 Standings

[Aslan]

True, it is only once a month. But my wife will probably only tolerate a once per month (non-practice) bowling commitment over the summer,

Well, that leads to the discussion of needing a new wife...but I digress.

[Aslan]

Aslan I guarantee the landscape will change though - I won't be most improved average after month 2 or 3. I guarantee that. Someone will take that over - at least that has been the situation I have seen in the past. Typically 140-160 range is where someone can definitely get most improved - the sweet spot.

Agreed. Obviously you won't end up most improved...because you're a horrible bowler. : )

I was just going through that demonstration to show that "most likely"...in all honesty...nobody will likely make it in the "back doors" because they are likely to ahve the most points. And there aren't 3 "back doors" reserved for people....if you have most improved, highest pin fall, etc...; it really only matters if you don't have the points to make it in the championship round. Vdub will almost certainly have highest scratch pin fall...and most games above average will likely have a ton of points. Most improved is the only real "wild card" and honestly that person is also likely to have a lot of points.

I also wanted to point out that there is a "slight" chance that the person in 7th (or tied and eligible for the play-in round) IS vulnerable if someone sneaks in the "back door".

Just call me Spray Can. I'm definitely going to be in California later this year - I know you will bowl with me Aslan but can we start bets now on what excuses Mr. Perfect MWhite will have for not showing up?

Well...its tough to get MWhite to compete. He only will bowl on odd calender days between 1PM and 3PM. He'll need a 24-hour period before the match where nobody under the age of 22 has bowled on them. He must have 20 warm-up frames. The lanes need to be freshly oiled in between games. The lanes are subject to his physical inpsection. He'll need records on the oiling machine maintenance and re-certification. And he'll reserve the right not to participate should he (within the first 6 frames of warm-up) determine they have oiled the lanes in a reverse block.

Assuming I don't have to leave California (my stay has been extended to at least the month of June), can I get in on this?

For sure - I insist. Anyone and everyone. It's going to be October timeframe.

Nice shooting Zdawg. I would have to had a monster series to beat those scores - especially the second game. Nice work too Aslan - you are definitely coming out of your shell. Where is the rest of the scores? Did no one else bowl?

Thank you sir, now if I can just keep the forward momentum going I should be good
