Having fun in No Tap!

[dnhoffman]

For me, it's more of a fundamental objection.

What does "no-tap" reward?

1) High rev, high carry, low accuracy bowlers.
2) Bowlers unable to pick up corner pins or bad spare shooting in general.
3) It sends the message that having a complete game is less important than your first ball average.

It's a terrible idea, usually taken advantage of by bowlers too lazy to work on their spare shooting and I just don't like the message it sends.

Lighten up Francis.

I have to say I have never been a big fan of no tap bowling

[Mudpuppy]

I did no tap for new year's eve - came out first game with all strikes (all natural strikes except 2 no tap) and 1 open frame (7th) for a 265. Then switched from beer to liquor and started doing shots.......it was all downhill from there. Ended with a 681 series, lol.

No tap can be fun for a party. Tournaments maybe for a non serious event or fundraiser. I usually get 9 or 10 pins. So anything under 800 series, is a let down.

You need to try it with me then because same goes for me UNTIL I start drinking heavy. Then it's game on. i.e. a 681 on NYE, lol.

No...you were only my mortal enemy when I could tease you about Michigan...but then I got in trouble for I guess teasing a little too harshly...so now it's no fun anymore.

DHoff actually voted to have me kicked off the site. So, he set the bar kinda high for anyone to beat him out of "site mortal enemy" status. Unless...you were one of the other 5 people that voted to boot me??? Hmmm....

You actually almost got kicked off? So there was a vote? That sounds kind of weird, were you allowed to make a statement in your defense before the voting?

Not me man. I would never vote you off. You entertain me. You are one of the reasons I keep coming back to BB. Why would I vote to ban you? But I really didn't think I was a mortal enemy - good natured joshing, yes. It's all in fun and you can take a joke so buttons (as mr. smithers would say).
