I had similar disappointment as well 4 years ago. I wasn't keeping track of my scores for the first 2 games nor really worrying what I needed to do the last game to get an 800. The third game I had the fist 11, and then left a 3-6-10 for a 297 game. After the scores were added up, I ended up having a 799 series. So at the time, I got 1 plaque in stead of 2 rings. That would have been my 2nd 800 series of my career. Another guy this year in my one league was going for 300 the last game, and tugged the 12th shot for a 298 game. After they added his scores up, it was a 799 series as well. Its amazing sometimes how hard it is to get an 800 series.
