I lost . .
« on: October 30, 2013, 10:28:28 AM »
. . the first game last night 300-299. That was the only point the whole night the other team got too haha, we took the points 29-1. He finished first, it was his first 300, and I put the last one where I wanted to, just wrapped a 10. Would have been a rare 300-300 tie, but I'd have felt bad, guy shoots his first 300 ever and has to split his point? Already got my ring for the year and this way I get another one of those cool crystal trophies too. Who out there has been involved in a game like this? I've been bowling a long time and this is a first for me.
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

Great shooting Gizmo.  I have had a 300-297 game where I was lucky to have the 300.  Unfortunately, his 11th strike won the game for them.

I have seen several times where an bowler had to bowl 300 for his team to win by 1 pin.

I had a guy on the other team shoot 300 the same game I shot 297 last year. That 12th ball didn't exactly come off pure. lol The coolest one I had is the time I shot 277 to my dad's 278 in the same game. That was kind of fun, it was kind of fun for the old man to get one from me since I usually got the better end of things toward the end of his career.

I got a good between a team mate and myself.......we both run up the front 9 one night. I leadoff and he followed. we also have two different styles, I play more down and in and he hooks the entire lane. I was up first and threw a good shot, a little light, could have carried......7-10 in the pocket. so I make the 7 and my team mate gets up there.......cranks one up wham! 7-10 in the pocket.......our team lost the game by 3 sticks....

I've shot 300 and the Team lost by 100 sticks. Me and a teammate battled for 3rd game scratch and eliminator pot and I ended up winning 289-288. He wrapped a 10 after a wrap 10 and 10 in a row. I threw front 10 and pocket 7-10'ed but a messenger took out the 10 and I made the 7 to beat him.

I've shot 300 and not won the point.  9-30-08 I was bowling a friend in our scratch league.  We both took turns in the 10th frame throwing shots, with myself going first.  His last shot carried Brooklyn, so I wanted the point out of principle, but the rules say a strike is a strike... Fun times, though.

2 Seasons ago i was going for a 300.  I needed the last strike obviously for the 300 but for my team to win by 1.  I blasted the pocket and left a 7-10 split for my team to lose by 1.  I wasn't a happy camper.
