Once again, thank you to everyone that came out tonight. We had a total of 20 people show up, and I had an absolute blast. A little chaotic at times, but that was to be expected for how hastily this was put together.
We bowled games with everyone picking their own lane at first, 6 on one pair, 7 on the other two. The right lane would move a pair right, and the left lane would move a pair left, after each game.
After everyone bowled on the 6 lanes, we randomly drew lane numbers (1-4) and had teams of five bowl for additional raffle tickets. Myself, Chad, Joe, Ron, and Matt won that event.
The shot was... demanding is all I could think of to say. Makes you appreciate a house shot a lot more, but bowling on a shot like this is plenty refreshing in itself when you realize how important shot making can be. Finally, after everyone leaves, me, bowlingmaniac, and two of my friends that showed up, bowled 2 games, and I managed a 182, and a 204, swinging between 6th & 7th arrow out to about 10 which my blade reactive. That was the funnest line I've played in a while. Too bad I found it after everyone leaves, lol.
And just to clarify... boy oh boy can bowlingmaniac loft the ball. (pictures coming soon!)
Visionary Bowling was very kind in donating a Frankie May Gryphon to the gathering, and another individual (I apologize, I cannot recall who donated, so please either post here, or PM me, and I'll edit this) donated a MoRich bowling towel.
I cannot recall the winner of the towel, but I believe it was a guest of directdrill's. The winner of the ball was Mike (BowlingManiac017), so he has a nice souvenir to take home with him to Tennessee.
For the sake of the bowlers involved (
) I will not mention names in the following, but I do have the scores printed out.
Overall, we threw 81 games, and our total score is 12,984 pins. This comes out to a little over a 160 average for the whole field, so not too bad overall.
Highest score belonged to Matt Tod, who shot an outstanding 267 game.
Thanks again to everyone that came out! I had a blast and hope that we'll do it again soon. (more organized, and more notice)
I'm sure I can think of more details to post, but it is past midnight, and I'm exhausted from tonight!
Anyone else, let us know what you thought.
