HIGH FIVE!, fist bump who gets one?

[1VegasBowler]

as far as the single pin spare if it's a pressure situation in a close game, yes a high 5...IMO

I can live with that one

My teams always give some kind of recognition to each other after a frame. If it is a miss tell them to shake it off. Or get them next frame. For the other team don't go out of your way to do it but if they are close go ahead. Especially if the are on a string of strides.

Funny how so many say it is just a fun league and the prize money is really low and then they make it like the other team are crazed maniac's. Some of you people would make me nervous. Probably go key my car if I beat you.

If a player who is on a string of strikes from the first frame on, I would probably leave him/her alone. The pressure of getting closer to perfection dramatically increases from each shot. It's kind of like the pitcher who's tossing a no hitter or a perfect game. His team mates leave him alone and stay away.

Once the perfection has been broken up, I would certainly congratulate him/her on their run.

When it comes to losing, we all know it sucks. But I would never take it out on somebody else or their property. I blame losses on myself and wonder what I could have done to bowl a better game. Nobody is tougher on me than myself no matter what sport I have played in. My opponents did exactly what they were supposed to do. They capitalized on mistakes and made us pay for our mistakes, and kudos to them for doing it.

Now there's also the two hand high 5, which seems to be reserved for shooting a 300 mostly.

Perfect timing for this thread. Last night my team bowled against a team in an almost-scratch league where the anchorman went out of his way to circle our table to make sure he got his high five after every frame. After he came around looking for a high five for a Brooklyn strike, I started just turning away. His constant need for high fives, along with the fact that his nose was in his cell phone so he was never ready to bowl, resulted in us finishing twenty minutes later than any of the other 29 teams in the league!

I only speak for myself here, but when I'm on a big string or getting closer to a 300, I want people talking to me and keeping the mood light. It helps keep me loose and takes some of the pressure off.

High fives for marks. Fist bump and a "shake it off" for an open.

Hand slaps for strikes and spares all around

I had to give a high 5 for an open recently.

A lady in the seniors league left a 3-6-10, and managed to pick off just the 6 pin.
