High Average
« on: April 17, 2012, 08:11:28 PM »
If you have a  102 game bowling  season. Bowler A bowled 36 weeks with a 212 average. Bowler B bowled 87 games and finished with a 211 average. Which bowler would be entitled to the high average award ? Not sure of the rule thats why I'm asking ?

Not sure I understand the situation.  You say a 102 game league season so that works out to a 34 weeks season, but bowler A has bowled 36 weeks, so 108 games, more than the league.
 
Usually, leagues will set a minimum game requirement for awards.  Some leagues will say 2/3 of the season to qualify.  High average would be the highest average computed out to a few decimal places with the minimum requirement met.   If there is a tie, then the money would be split.

I haven't been in competition for this award in quite a while .. from what I remember if there was a tie in high average it went to the bowler with the highest pin fall!

I believe you MUST bowl 66% of all games to qualify for individual awards. don

 I would also have to say normally 2/3 of the games must be bowled for awards...if this the case, in this scenario, bowler A would have needed 68 games under their belt.  It really depends on the individual league I would imagine.

I thought this question was answered in this post.  Why are there two others?
 
Edited to add:
 
And that 2/3 season rule would apply to any individual awards, like high game or series.
