Weird STUFF!! It happened to me last night in our scratch league. We bowl second shift so sometimes there's still a great shot and other times it can be ugly.
Anyway, I was bowling against a friend and we had both found a great line to the pocket. About halfway through the game I went to him and jokingly said "hey, how about we just end this game in a tie?" He agreed and we kept on striking through the ninth.
Before the tenth frame I asked him if he wanted to go first, or should we trade shots? We decided to trade shots. I went first, he went second, and so on. After I struck on the 12th ball I/we didn't celebrate until after he went Brooklyn and carried.
It was great fun, and I honestly wanted him to keep striking, because I wanted to be able to say that I was part of a rare thing when two guys bowling head-to-head both rolled 300 games against each other on the same game.
On a side note, we also tied the second game at 221, but an ugly split for me in the last frame of game 3 kept me from winning series, but I didn't care a bit. He won 757 to 743. I also didn't throw a single strike during warm-ups. I kept leaving the 10 pin, or a 7 pin, but decided to move left and swing the ball more and it ended up working. I used the Ultra Zone polished with Snake Oil.
Anyone else see this happen before? Just curious...
