Rough night. Tonight was the bracket tourney to determine the championship for the summer league. There were 40 teams and the top 20 made the tourney with the top 4 getting a first round bye. We finished in 10th so had to bowl the 15th place team in the first round. The team we bowled against had 207 and 186 averages while we were 205 and 177 so pretty close. The first game I had a 173 while my teammate had a 183. The 2nd game I had a 160 while my teammate had a 279. We lost by 39 scratch and 23 with handicap. Our opponents had 151 and 257 the first game and won by 44 (with handicap). The 2nd game they had 420 (not sure what their individual scores were). So we lost by 23 total. I was below my average but combined we were over our average by about 31 total the other team was just on more than us overall. So we got knocked out first round. Still got $300 ($100 each). We have 3 on our team but rotate.
I was near the pocket all night but my ball had to be dead on to get a strike.
