Obviously it's all about the team but do you ever try to beat your opponent in league from what order your bowling in to that person is? Try any gamesmanship?
In one league I'm anchor in the 5/5 position so usually I'm against the best which motivates me. In my other league I'm the lead off in the 1/4 position.
If it's one of those "just here to have fun bowlers" then I don't even pay attention even if they get a high game and beat me but the ones I love is the confident or coincided or cocky whether it be male or female and whether it be a medium or high or really high average bowler it makes me want to beat that person and bowl harder then ever as if it was a PBA title game.
Then like many I suspect don't even know or care about this and just bowl for themselves or their team.
