As many of you know, I work a swing shift and have to prebowl from time to time.  It keeps me out of the competitive leagues, but I want to bowl every week, not be an extra member.  Anyway, about a month I prebowled the afternoon of league because I was working nights.  There ended up being a power outage that night during league.  The scores were recorded/backed up, so they decided to pick up the games as they were recorded last night (8/17).  Basically everyone would be bowling a game and half, starting from when the power went off.

Last week, I had to work nights again, so I prebowled again.  However, they held a league meeting and decided to make up the game and a half (or so) after the normal 3 games that night.  That meant that our position round got changed from 8/24 to 8/17.

No one told me.  So I walked in to league last night just to talk with my team and watch them destroy the other team (I prebowled the league high series - Hamster would love that, lol).  Of course, I didn't bring my stuff since I knew I couldn't bowl.  The house is full, so I knew there wouldn't be any open lanes to practice.  Great.  Here it is position round, we're in first place, and I can't bowl.  Fortunately we were up by 5 games (4 point league), so the results didn't matter much.  Money is decided by total games won, so it wasn't completely irrelevant.  If the championship was up for grabs, I would have really been upset.  Even so, I ended up having to pay for my last week even though I couldn't bowl.  There is also a big scratch tournament this weekend.  I could have used the extra practice if nothing else.

Thanks for nothing guys.
