284 = $10,000.00
« on: December 21, 2008, 11:52:58 PM »
Anybody here ever shoot a 284?
Well, there's a place that just opened up in my area that is offering 10 thousand dollars for anybody that can shoot a 284 game. I've never heard of anyone throwing that score before. I would think it's almost impossible.

Just figured it: 10 in a row then a 4 spare. Getting the four count on the first ball is the hard part.

284 IS possible, you just need a XXX XXX XXX X62.
10 in a row plus 4 spare is also an option.

Yep, that works, too. Six count would be easier.

Sadly enough, I've done 284 via first 10, dbl nuts, get 2.

I think there are 5 ways to shoot 284 as follows:

spare, 10-bagger, 4 count
10-bagger, 70
10-bagger, 62
10-bagger, 54
10-bagger, 4-spare

If could just get the 10-bagger, I KNOW I could get the 70.

Your right. Never thought of that one.

There are also other "options", e. g. starting out with a spare, then filling up with strikes like 0/XX XXX XXX XX4.

I acutally shot 284 in a Michigan Majors tournament back in February.  I went front 10, through the nose 7 and missed them all.

All I won was $150
