I find that if the lineup is a trio lineup, you need a good leadoff bowler who can get the team on the right track and fill frames. The anchor bowler in a trio league should be the high average bowler who can help in the clutch. So if I were to set up the team, I would probably keep it in the order I see that you posted them in, 170 average first, then 185, then 200.

few more spec's.

Girl - my girlfriend, most of the time spares. 160-170 average

Other guy - her brother, spares alot, either very good or average. he is known to loose his head every once in a while. 170-180 average

Me - stable, strikes and spares, keeps myself in the game, mentally strong. good in clutch. 200-210 average.

okay well here's the delema. i need to have a very well balanced rotation. this is what we had last season.

1st - Me, start off with a strike and strong
2nd - Girlfriend, spare and keep it steady
3rd - Brother, either strike or spare and carry us through to next frame.

the reason i did this was to start strong and get momentum going.
i dont know if i should be in clutch or what?

PLEASE HELP!!! i want your opinon THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Another consideration - do any of the bowlers have a strong preference about the position they bowl in?  If so, accommodate that preference.  --  JohnP

We do a lot of line up changes in High School Bakers format.  Not always is the person that has the highest average the best bowler.  There are some variables that you need to take into account.  How do people react to pressure?  Can they make the needed spare if they do not strike?   Is their head in the game and are they aware of what they need for score?  A Baker thing is setting up the sequence so that you have the most marks in a row as opposed to mark, open, mark, open possibilities.  There are some great bowlers that are just terrible anchor bowlers for one reason or another.
