Non-Sanctioned 900 Series

[mike_thomas93]

Someone just bowled a non-sanctioned 900 series in a doubles tournament at Paddock Bowl in Pacheco, California. Here's the link to the video. May be non-sanctioned, but a 900's still a 900. Pretty impressive ;p

This is the video showing the 35th and 36th strike (:

Yet since it was non-sanctioned…it may have well been curing cancer or inventing a spaceship capable of reaching other galaxies…cuz it doesn't count.

Thats one reason I don't bowl unsanctioned leagues. There are other reasons…but if I ever actually throw a 300 (yeah right)…I'd kinda like it to count.

Not sure what happens if you bowl a 300 in a non-USBC tournament. I mean, if it's an ABTA or ABT tournament…in a sanctioned center…is that "sanctioned"?

I've never had 8-in-a-row…so I'm not "hating"…it's just a warning to those that play in non-sanctioned leagues…if you ever strike pay dirt…it might not count for much. And people need to understand, thats not just "bad luck"…the sanctioning exists to make sure these things are legitimate with legitimate equipment and consistent rules. Without that process, we'd see even MORE 300s, 800s, and 900s.

Who knows if its real or not! SEEING IS NOT Necessarily Believing ANY MORE!! People will put all kinds of B.S. on the net, just because they CAN!

So WHO KNOWS.....

If ,,, IF indeed he did, that's COOL, even if not sanctioned! How sad that would be if true, and not sanctioned!!

Well it was shared on Stormbowling's FB page and website, since he used a Pitch Black. I guess that's much of a surprise either, since most of the 900's have been bowled with Storm balls.

wow,,, I just did a web search put the name of the bowling alley down, and 900 games,,, found the alley, but no mention of his game? I will go check it out,,, if true,,,, Wow!! The guy is an animal... would like more information on his league averages and accomplishments?

[MICHAEL]

Just went to Storm Nation and no mention of the score? Maybe they don't post non sanctioned 900s ( Also the lanes where this took place, no mention? I am sure I must be missing something, but I can't find back up as to this feat!!

Yeah it really does suck to shoot a 900 series and
not get the ring and all the glory to go with it.

I've never shot an un-sanctioned or a sanctioned 900
series yet but I've had numerous un-sanctioned 300
games and 800 series over the years with if I remember
correctly a high of 878 or 879 or something like that series
it was close but no cigar in un-sanctioned leagues and some
un-sanctioned tournaments.

Iceman....his average is not much higher than yours. Maybe a 900 is in the cards for a certain frozen superhero?

900 guy's USBC number: 11-370781

At least you've bowled 300 and 800. I haven't gotten anywhere near that yet ;/

And especially comparing this to the 18-year two hander that threw 900, and it did count for a ring. Course he has 18 at the time, now he's a little older, but that's just an extra point ;p
