Awesome! Tournaments are all fun.
I would like to enter a few handicap tourneys this year. Entered a few in high school leagues back in the 80's and entered a father/son tournament around 2002 then this past March was my money tournament and my first time ever on a sport pattern. I bowled bad but liked it...lol. It was a 47' Scorpion pattern. I feel I know 10x what I knew then and feel I could do so much better. I averaged 157 in 8 games for that tourney but that was mainly because of a 219 scratch game that boosted my average. There were about 65 entries and the top 20 I think made the cut. There were 3 3 game qualifying rounds. After the first round I think I was 16th and the top 8 made it. 2nd round top 8 made it and I was 6th. 3rd round I think top 4 made it or something. I didn't enter the 3rd round cause I was already locked in. I made it past the first round of eliminations bowling a 156 scratch. I think I finished 7th and top 8 made it. 2nd round I rolled a 125 and got booted out. But it was fun. Want to do it again.
