Missed what could have been bigger
« on: December 30, 2013, 09:56:07 PM »
Front 8, slight tug 4 pin. Spare, x 8/ 269.  211 214, 694

The comes in where I thought I was seeing the typical transition coming, made the adjustments to what I thought I was seeing.  Low and behold, transition never showed up, and after I stopped being stupid, I found the spot only 1 board from the start.   Ugh.  I'll take the 694 on my 202 on that league, but man....

EP, nice series! One of your opens was a 2 pin. Whenever I have left the 2 pin, I am just thankful that the leave was just the 2 pin and not a 2-8, 2-10 or 2-8-10.

Great job and Happy New Year!

First ball was light, earned the 2 pin.  The Wtf was finding a dry spot or something to make the ball check up extra hard, and barely miss to the left.  Something I call a comedy of errors, like when you see the shadow of the ball on the 10 pin.

And yes I can blame the opens, even though a 6-7-10 and a 4-6-7-9 are hard spares, i can also blame an 8 pin and a 9 pin for not carrying to miss 700. Not a bad set, esp only third set with the pursuit
