The league is scratch singles. I bowl 3 different people per night switching lanes each game. It is both physically and mentally tough. Physically you have to be accurate to within a board on either side of your target. Speed, hand, and breakpoints are all factors. Your physical game has got to be sharp. Your mental game has to be peak also. I learned last night that I am not as mentally tough as I need to be. Needing a strike to beat my opponent, I pinched the ball a little and left a 4 pin. A spare and strike on the fill ball would have tied. I completely flagged the 4, making the fill ball irrelevant. Bad mental defeat.
Incidentally, points are earned by defeating your opponent and bonus points are awarded based on your position each night. There are only 8 bowlers on this league. Last night my series was the high for the night, earning me 8 bonus points plus 2 points for defeating the opposition. I had earned only 3 points total in weeks 1 and 2. A 10 point night will definitely change my standing.
