    Okay, so how did it end up and what did I learn?

    Well the last week was position round, We dropped from 5th to 9th place which is next to last. Had we won all, we would have just stayed in 5th. All the places were really close some ties and only off by one point, so dropping that much was easy to do.

    My ending average was 159, which is 16 pins higher than last summers sport challenge average of 143. So the alt. method of playing sport shot leagues I came across actually seems to work.

    (For those that don't know. I read a post last year someone made on a reddit page (I can't find it again) where he told somebody there were two ways to approach a sport league it depended on what you were after on the league. Was it to learn to play "Sportshots" or just have a fair average on the league.

    If you wanted learn to play "Sportshots" and go for optimal scoring potential, then do all the stuff look at the patterns sheets, figure the exit point, breakpoint, tips on how to play that pattern , ball selection, surfaces yada yada.

    So I tried that and didn't do that great, I just don't have the speed and revs that you need. Speed and revs are important and make up for slacking off on the other things.

    Then he said if you just wanted to "Average" well on the league, Basically just stand right (or left as the case maybe) and point the ball at the pocket and Not necessarily roll a full on straight ball but just use a minimal hook. Don't worry about getting a bunch of strikes, You'll get a few pocket strikes and your in good position for brooklyn strikes if you cross and you'll leave mostly makeable spares And you'll average around the 180's. (Essentially what your trying to do is take the lane out of play.)

    Well that actually kind of seems to work, While I didn't average 180s (my revs are still too low and revs generate the pin carry) my average went up. I would add to his idea though, to look at pattern length and total volume of oil to give you a idea of what ball and surface to use.

    overall it was fun, i'll do it again next year if i can.
