She was digging my Thunderspares, so I didn't even have to pull out the skull ball.

Mike,

Using your over 600 method, I shot 604.  Reversed that gives me 406.  You on the other hand shot 608 which cannot be reversed.  Therefore it has to be halved for a 302.  Hmmmm I like your method LOL  Ed probably does, too

PK,

Nice shooting!  

See the kind of inspiration I provide  I shoot a couple 600s and a 590 something and the guys decide they really have to bowl and quit sandbagging

608 not reversible?  Of course it is to the highest series I would have ever had at 806!  608 works for me though and we can still keep TP at 406 or use the Ragnar reverse handicrap formula.

We'll let Ragnar and Zman take care of this with their wisdom and experience in these matters.

It is also nice to see PK rise solidly above the bottom of the barrel for this week.  Way to go PK!!

608, Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

6 is 75% of 8, 608 x 0.75 = 456.  That's more like it.

So, TP is at 604 this week?  With reverse handicap maybe that's about 540,so I think we should just make it a reverse score of 406.  I expect to be able to beat that tonight and I think PK and Ed have a shot at that too.

I think any time TP shoots a 6, we just use any number from 5 to 3 in her series as the 1st number in the series as the example shows above.  If all the numbers are 6 or higher, we just divide her series by 2, so a 666 would be a 333. If the numbers other than the 6 are a 0, 1, or 2,then we can divide by 1.5.  hence a 600 would be a 400, for example and a 620 would be 413. That should take care of her dominance in BOTBC.

As for CPL's/DPL's,  I must take a pass on these this season since I am only in a men's league this year and I am still not interested in dancing on the gay side of the block.  The few CPL's I have seen were uglier than the men, so I wouldn't want to claim them anyway.

I apologize, the 6 is the problem.  You cannot use any numbers greater than 5 so with the 1.5 factor your 608 becomes a 405...I still beat you with the 406 you credited me with...LOL  You should know better than to argue with a teacher  Now what is your defense?  BTW, nice shooting!

Well, this sure seems to have opened up a Pandora's Box and can of worms.  High scores are kind of like quicksand in BOTBC, the higher you shoot the lower your score.   TP, now I feel your pain.

Suffice it to say that without any trickery, 608 beats 604. Now kindly remove yourself from the throne TP and take it like a.......BOTBC Bowler.  The way you are bowling lately, methinks the throne will be in your possession again sooner than later, unless All-Powerful Judge Ragnar or Zman "The Terrible" intervene.
 I like those little icons!!!

BTW - I ask that Strider's remarks be stricken from the BOTBC for obvious reasons.

I was just trying to soften up the competition.  The way we started this year, I thought Ragnar and myself might be joining soon.

I just thought it was fitting that right after you posted your handicrap idea, you post a 608 series  Took a rope and then hung yourself with it.  But yes, I accept you did beat me this week

LOL Strider...btw I disagree with the removal of your comments
