Winter BFDT Signup!
« on: August 13, 2003, 08:35:04 AM »
Sign up here to join the winter Bowling Forum Doubles Tournament.  High and low averages are paired together to make evenly matched teams.  Scoring will be both scratch and handicap (80% of 220).  I will need your high book average from this past winter season (summer average is OK if that is all you have).  Last year’s average is used for the first week’s handicap and then discarded.  Your average (and handicap) will change every week based on the scores you turn in.  This is a fun tournament.  We’re playing for fun, so we’re all on the honor system.  Pick one league to use throughout the BFDT.  A second league or tournament score may be used if your primary league is not held (weather, illness, out of town…) for some reason.  Please contact me if you need to substitute for your main league.  Reply here or message me if you have any questions.

I also would like to bowl in this. Is this different than the other doubles tournament on this site. Book average from last year was 234.
We started last Thursday night.

Last spot (for now) SOLD to Mr. Hershberger.

Yes, this tourney is different than the one Strikinmachine (pick your partner scratch doubles) is running.  Set your prefferences to about 30 days to see all the rules and posts.  In a nutshell, high and low averages are paired together to make even averaged teams.  I do a scratch and handicap (80% of 220) recap each week.

Oops, forgot a bowler who messaged me some time ago.  Sorry Curly, must have forgotten to write you on the list.  Still have an odd number of bowlers.  Need one more, or I may have to leave off the last person (Glen) signed up for now and get him a partner later.

First week will be 8/31 - 9/6.

You can use another league if you're not bowling Labor Day.  If you don't have another league or a tournament to use, I'll assign a blind of 10 minus the average.

If you're bowling, use the league scores of course.  I was just trying to make allowances for the people who's leagues were cancelled for the holiday.

Thanks Curly, but after my humbling showing at a high level scratch tournament yesterday, the last thing I need is another ball.  Time for a good pair of shoes and some lessons.  Hook in a Box I can buy, now where's that Game in a Box?

Due to a schedule change at work, the wife and I wont be bowling on the mixed friday night league.

Tha only leaves me with my mens monday night league that doesnt start till the 8th. So now what? I have to take a buy week with a 132 score, and start reporting scores for week 2?

That's right.  If you don't have another league to use, I'll assign a blind of 10 minus your average.  The blind score doesn't count against your average though.

I'd like to join in. My winter league starts on 9/5, but my summer sweeper is 8/28.

My last book is 205
