Battle of the Sandbaggers!

 (EDIT) In my haste to get out your bowling stats I made an error.  Good thing I'm taking pictures of the scoreboards.  My corrected table shows Cary moving up a couple spots in this weeks standings on a best game of 145.  Cary also moves up a spot in our overall averages.  I also failed to mention Maurice rounding out the top three in this week's NET competition with a solid 615 net score on three 100+ games.

This week's first game was definitely the "Battle of the Sandbaggers." After totally "Bombing" last week I managed to bowl a not totally atypical 196 in the first game. DOG (Doug) last week, gutter-balled his way to an 86 average and a 103 handicap to round out the field. This week Doug managed to raise his average almost 10% and move up three spots in the Net Pins category on the strength of a 145 first game. My 253 total "Net" pins for the first game barely eked out the top spot over Doug's 248 total "Net" pins for that first game.

So, on to this weeks results:

Mike Tierney rode three strong games to a 161 average for this week for a WIN for total Net pins. I managed to pull off the high average for the week but it wasn't enough to overtake Mike's combination of POWER BOWLING and established handicap.

We had two new bowlers join our new handicap format with Mike Raynor and Liam getting in three games. Both had decent mid-pack showings. Tom came back to the pack a bit after his strong showing last week although he didn't bowl terrible. I came out on top of the spreadsheet's sort function by only a couple hundredths of a point (not shown on the table). Bo's position with our group is more accurately reflected by the second table because, having bowled only two games again this week, his weekly total pins is ten frames short.

Have a great rest of your week everyone...!
