    Default Fsu travel team selection

    I thought this was interesting, it's from the FSU Bowling Team Handbook. To get on the team, they have to qualify and during this they track how well they bowl. This is some of the levels of bowling they have to meet to qualify.


    Travel team members are expected to exceed these numbers in order to travel:
    Men’s Team Women’s Team
    Single Pins Spare % 85% 82%
    Multi Pin Spare % 52% 50%
    1st Ball Pinfall 8.5 8.2
    Max. Opens per Game 2 2.5
    Strike % 37% 32%
    These are the scores that we aspire to have in order to compete for a national championship:
    Men’s Team Women’s Team
    Single Pins Spare% 95% 95%
    Multi Pin Spare% 65% 62%
    1st Ball Pinfall% 9.3 8.8
    Max. Opens per Game 1 1.5
    Strike% 50% 42%

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    Interesting. Well here is how I stack up based on this seasons stats. And no, I wouldn't make the cut...lol

    45 games (average 192.02)(Now if you go with my last 27 games (average 202.04) when I changed a few things it's a little better - in green):

    Single pin spares = 73%, 74%

    Multi pin spare = 61%, 70%

    1st ball pinfall = 8.94, 9.10

    Opens per game = 19% (about 2/game), 15%

    Strike% = 46%, 50%

    So the only one I wouldn't make the cut would be single pin spares.
    Arsenal "15# Global Eternity Pi-45x4.5x40" "15# 900 Global Xponent-60x4.5x40" "15# 900 Global Zen Soul-60x4.5x40" "15# Roto Grip Idol Helios-90 x 2.25 x 45" "15# 900 Global Altered Reality-50x3.625x30" "15# Brunswick Uppercut-80x3.625x35" "15# Brunswick Igniter-70x5.5x35" "15# Raw Hammer Pearl 45x5.75x40" "15# Brunswick T-Zone"
    Rev Rate about 270 @ about 15.5 MPH at the pins* High Game: 290 - High Series: 733. PAP: 5 1/8"x1" up; tilt 20*, rotation 75*. YTD highs - 290-733
    Oh, and LEFTY!!!

    Thank you for sharing that, it is really interesting. I calculated out a three game set using these standards...each game has a 8.55 first ball average (I had to put in a 5 and 6 count to create 3 single pin leaves a game), no more than 2 opens, a strike percentage around 37%, the series has a single pin average of 89%, and a multi pin spare just under 50% (this compensates for the higher single pin average). No strikes or opens in the 10th frame to get the most benefit from the 4 strikes (4/11). Series that was produced was 543 (181 average).
