RADICAL New Scoring System

**Jessiewoodard57** · 06-02-2016, 03:52 PM

Personally I think it's best left where it is. Nascar changed the scoring so many times that many of us just got fed up and left. I have not turned them back on since they went to this Chase format. Back to bowling ...think back to the Tom Daugherty 100 game losing to his opponent by 199 pins. As bad as that was under what your purposing a rule if in the 10 he came back and rolled 10 strikes he would have won. Does not seem fair to an opponent. In the tenth many bowlers look to see what we need to roll to shut out the other guy. We need to leave it alone. Just my opinion

I say leave the scoring the way it is. Some of the stuff proposed you can use it in a skills contest like baseball HR derby. You keep rolling until you get 3 outs or non strikes. To make it as fair as possible, each player gets their own pair of lanes to throw that way one player doesn't burn up the oil for the other.

I see nothing broken with what we have. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I like the current system just fine! All these others are just weird

I've herd of the world scoring only 1 ball in the 10th. 30 for each strike. They even used it once on TV. I like it the way it is. the 10th should be the pressure frame, leave well enough alone. IMO

Not broken?

If you go 9 spare, then 11 in a row, you score 290.

If I go 11 in a row, then a 9 count, I score 299.

We've both thrown the same length of strikes.

When we miss, we both left just one pin.

And you've shown you have the ability to pick up that one pin, while I haven't.

Yet my score is higher. That ain't broken?

Mike, IMO if you throw the first 11 there is a heck of alot of pressure on you for the 12th. if you start with the 9/ there's a big difference in #12

In baseball if my team gets on base with a walk, and error and another walk then gets a home run in the ninth that is 4 RUNS.
Your team gets 3 home runs and a walk you only have 3 RUNS.
Your team did better but lost.
I have had both 299 and 290. More pressure in the the 299. I have had 278 with 11 in a row. Greek church and 11 in a row, Also seen 295 games just the other way.
If if's and buts were candy and nuts we would all have a Merry Christmas......
