Second league night: 106 104 106. A 316 series. Disappointing. I had even “practiced” beforehand. I know now it is “practicing.” Before league started, I just called it bowling. But a friend of mine is a lifetime leaguer and he corrected me. When I came up with this idea of competing in a national bowling tournament, I started bowling a lot and told him so. Him: “Which league did you join?” Me: “We aren’t in a league.” Him: “Oh, so you’re just practicing.”
So, yes, we practiced and weren’t so bad, but on league night it was another ho-hum event. It shouldn’t matter. After all, it is my lack of athleticism that led me here, i.e. to a sanctioned league (one in which a handicap is established) and this blog. It shouldn’t matter, but it does.
On the plus side, I have a 76 pin handicap which should help the team. Still, I read the official report of the first day of our league and it is daunting. Someone bowled a 299 game.
I went through the numbers. There is only one way to get to a 299 game. I checked it out on an online bowling calculator. Here’s the link. It’s interesting to see how the numbers play out.
He bowled a strike in the first nine frames. Then in the tenth frame, he bowled two more strikes but got a nine on his last throw. In other words, he bowled 11 strikes in a row and missed the 12th strike needed for a perfect score by just one pin in the last frame on his last throw. That’s the only way it can be done.
If he had had that nine in any other frame, it would not have been a 299. In fact, his score (assuming his first throw is a 9 and his second throw is a miss) would be 278, 268 for the 1st and 2nd frames and then 267 for the 3rd through 10th frames.
In fact, if he had hit nine pins on his first throw in the 10th frame, he still wouldn’t have a 299. Assuming he did knock down the last pin on his second throw for a spare, and then got a strike on his third and final throw, his score would have been a 279. There you go. There’s only one way to get a 299. It had to be two strikes in the 10th frame and then a nine on the third and final throw.
That’s what my team is up against.
It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this put up and if I could I want to suggest you few attention-grabbing things or tips. Perhaps you can write subsequent articles regarding this article. I desire to read even more things about it!

Hello, of course this paragraph is genuinely good and I
have learned lot of things from it about blogging. thanks.
Your style is so unique in comparison to other folks I’ve read stuff from. Many thanks for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I’ll just book mark this blog.
I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my difficulty. You’re amazing! Thanks!
Thank you for another informative web site. Where else could I get that kind of information written in such an ideal way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such info.
Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Finding the time and actual effort to generate a great article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.
Fantastic post.Ne’er knew this, regards for letting me know.
Great blog you’ve got here.. It’s hard to find high-quality writing like yours nowadays. I honestly appreciate people like you! Take care!!
Throughout this great design of things you receive an A for effort and hard work. Exactly where you lost me personally ended up being in all the specifics. You know, they say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be much more correct at this point. Having said that, permit me reveal to you precisely what did do the job. Your writing is actually quite engaging and that is probably why I am taking an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, even though I can easily see a leaps in logic you come up with, I am definitely not certain of just how you seem to unite your ideas which in turn make the actual final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position however wish in the future you connect the dots better.
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anything like this before. So nice to find someone with some original ideas on this subject. realy thanks for beginning this up. this website is one thing that is wanted on the web, someone with a little originality. useful job for bringing something new to the web!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100 positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
I enjoy, ϲause I found eҳactly what Ι used to be looking
for. Yоu have ended my fouг day lengthy hunt! God Bless ʏoᥙ man.

An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who was conducting a little homework on this. And he actually bought me dinner due to the fact that I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this issue here on your web page.
Good article. I will be going through many of these issues as well..
Your style is very unique in comparison to other folks I’ve read stuff from. I appreciate you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I’ll just bookmark this page.
Excellent article. I am experiencing some of these issues as well..
Thanks for another informative blog. Where else could I get that type of information written in such an ideal way? I’ve a project that I’m just now working on, and I’ve been on the look out for such information.
My brother recommended I may like this blog. He was entirely right. This submit truly made my day. You can not consider just how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
Iím amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog thatís both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I came across this during my search for something relating to this.
Excellent post! We will be linking to this great content on our site. Keep up the great writing.
