got screwed?
« on: October 14, 2008, 09:11:21 AM »
Ok, so here is what happened. I Averaged 243 for 105 games last season and I had high avg. in the county. Well 3 weeks ago I missed a night of league and they announced high avg to this guy with 237 and my teammate told me about the next day. the next week I go to the league president and she said that oh you got high lefty avg for the county. They have a high lefty and righty avg? Anyways its been 3 weeks and I havent seen an award yet! I think they just forgot.....I rather not even get the award...high avg is high avg too me but then again im a lefty lol...anyways what do you guys think? What I think is messed up is that this guy took this award and hasnt even said anything about it. I dont think there is even award they pretty much said hes lefty it doesnt count.

RULE 52B

RULE53

  If it is just as you tell it, I think you've been HAD!

  If the secretary won't do anything about it, contact the USBC yourself and get a ruling.  Most likely the secretary overlooked it and is just trying to blow you off and keep their own butt out of trouble.  ANY member of the USBC can contact them and ask for a ruling on any issue you have, you don't have to be a secretary, or have to wait on one to do it for you.  Just document it in some way for dates and times and you will have verifiable evidence, if you need it.

Well hopefully in my county they have high lefty and righty, cause i'm darn sure i'm not high county average, but maybe could be for lefties!

*sigh* another whiny lefty...  

j/k man!  Sounds like you have indeed gotten the shaft.  I've never known any league, association, our whatever classification you use to issue awards based on which hand you bowl with.  High avg. is high avg. and you got it by 10.  Congrats!

Now then, and you know this is coming...  Do you bowl in that house Rev-O used to bowl in, or are you the second coming of WRW jr?

clarify!
You held a 243 ave for 105 games last year. That's roughly a third of the season. did you FINISH the season with the 243 or did you average this at some other time during the season?

Correct me if I'm wrong but 105/3= 35 weeks.  How long do your seasons last, 2 years?

Anyway 243 for 105 games is pretty good no matter what hand you use!  Good luck getting your award.

Wow - you bowl 300 games in a season?

Where I come from, 105 games is 35 weeks, which is roughly two thirds of the year and pretty much a standard (non-summer) league bowling season.

How would your county know if you are right handed or left handed?  Any sanction card I've ever seen has never asked if you are right or left handed.  It sounds like the secretary pulled something.  When awards come from our association they are in an envelope or box with the bowlers name on it.  I would think since it is a county award, it is not some thing the secretary ordered, but rather the county based it off of their records from all leagues in the county.

They give out county awards?  I've never even heard of a county USBC chapter.

Even if you are the High average for your association there is an award for that, if you have more than one association it could be a problem. Sounds like they do not like lefties to me, 243 is pretty upper level to me.

David Haynes is the only person in my association over 245 in the last 10 years, we all know how good he is so you must be pretty dang good.

That sucks, man. That's such a load of BS they're feeding you.

You know what you should do? Assassinate them all. One by one. As they strike. You strike, you die.

LEFTIES RULE! (even though I'm not one.)
