I was wandering about this. My line of work is creating databases with all kinds of information. Now I have created a scoring sheet that takes up one sheet of paper for each game. It allows the bowler to record on each frame the following:

- Lane #, Score on First Ball, Score on Second Ball, Score for Fram
- 1st and 2nd Ball Stats: Ball Id., Release Point (Bowler Standing), Mark thrown to, Speed, Breaking Point.
- Pins Knocked down by first ball, Pins picked up by second ball.
- Room for addition comments on each ball

Would this be useful information to bowlers?
or Would it get in the way of concentration, fun, or socializing?

I know I could turn this into some kind of database on the PC. Just applying my job to my hobbies. I am actually working on a fishing Database?

Trash Heap--I tried something similar to this once where I tracked everything. I mean everything, strikes, spares, single pins, speed, score, series, bad shots, good shots. I found myself more worried about keeping those records than making good shots. I don't know why but I wasn't able to concentrate as well. Now, if you could develop a program for the computer to track all that by individual bowler you could make fortune. It would be awesome to see my first ball speed, revs and such every frame.

One thing I would really like to see is a way of tracking where you hit on the lane at the arrows and breakpoint. I would love to see if I am accurate and show others they aren't.
