Here is the first half of Game 3:
At this point, MWhite led Aslan scratch by a mere 3 pins (419 to 416) with ZDawg far behind (scratch) with a 310.
However, adding in handicap, I had a 474 to 419 advantage on Mike and ZDawg was not nearly as far behind at 394.
The first 5 frames were rough for everyone. Mike and I opened with doubles, but also opened. And ZDawg opened twice. After the 5th frame, Mike was still < 10 pins ahead of Aslan scratch and ZDawg was about 44 pins back of Mike for 2nd (however, he gets 42 pins in handicap). So barring a complete collapse by Aslan in the final 5 frames…the championship was his to lose…but still battles were left to win as ZDawg still was putting pressure on Mike for 2nd place and Aslan was still in striking distance of Mike for a scratch victory.
