What's the cut for elite average in league today?
« on: April 18, 2015, 12:56:06 PM »
In the "Good Ole Days" when you hit a 190-200 ave. you became one of the leagues elite, a  "Roy Munson" and they handed you a slice of pizza and played your theme music as you came in the alley.

Well 190-200 averages are a dime a dozen today, So What's the cut today for being consider a upper class league bowler now?

What 210-220? 220+?

There are a lot of differences between bowling centers across the country.  In our area, 225 would be considered good, but 240 would be elite.  Most of the centers here put out some pretty easy house shots.

In my area, there are quite a few bowlers crying 215 or so averages. There are a handful over 220, but that is a small handful. I couldn't imagine someone carrying 230-240+ averages.

In my area 230+. We have only had a handful of bowlers average this for a season.

In 2000 I set a city record with a 237.8 average.  I believe the record is now 252 ( set 5 or 6 years ago ), although still only a couple over 240 each season.  High averages in our association seem to have actually dropped back a bit in the last 3 or 4 years.

Around my parts 235+ is elite.  Par is somewhere either 225 and 230 depending on the house.
