I must have missed that your league didn't start until then. Do you have another league or tournament scores that you can use? If you don't have anything else, I'll give a blind. I will also look back over the list and see if anyone else is starting late. I might be able to pair you up and just have your team start late.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

Forgive me if my results are a little late. I'll be online a lot, just not at my house where the spreadsheet is. A coworker just had back surgery today and will be out for quite a while. Lots of OT and no time to spend the money. I had signed up for a second league, but I'll probably have to drop it now.

We were supposed to be playing on pattern D (for difficult) last night. I didn't believe it - I had a ball reaction. I was able to play over 15 and give away the pocket (going out to about 10) with my Inferno (cover in box condition). I even went to the counter and asked if they knew of anyone practicing on our pair to "wall it up." They said no. I asked the proprietor, with whom I work in the pro shop, about the pattern. He said that when they originally put it out, it played pretty tight, so they cut back on the volume from 45 mil. to 40. We usually use the same pattern two weeks in a row before switching to another (hence the league's name: "Switch the Shot"). He said they may go back to 45 mil. next week to see how they play. I checked the PBA website - what we had looked exactly like what they had, except for the volume. All I can say is "What a difference that tweak in the volume seems to have made!"
At long last, my scores: 207-214-221=642 What's next in the series? If you said 228, you'd be wrong - we bowl four games and my fourth game was not 228.
That's all I have to say about that, except that I did end up on the plus side. 
I didn't check all the scores from other pairs last night, but I was bowling next to a PBA player who was struggling on the left side. Another lefty on that pair appeared to be struggling, as well. Only one other guy on my pair was plus, but in general, scoring on our pair wasn't bad. There was a 220-ish bowler (right-handed) on the pair on the other side of me that was about 90 over, with another guy on his pair shooting a couple 240 games and going about 60 over. Many struggled, and it is possible that I was actually bowling better than I thought I was. My only problem in the nameless game four was that I missed two single pin spares to keep from shooting a respectable score.
Although I don't think I'll be able to keep up this scoring pace, I'm quite pleased so far.
Sorry about the lengthy post - I hope it is informative to someone.

With a ton of OT in my near future, I may have to drop my Tuesday league, so I'll use my Thursday scores throughout. Not my favorite house. Big transitions and lots of carrydown. Averaged 12 less than the other house during the winter.
205-242-191 = 638
