I think you did the 'right' thing. As for what would have been more fun, I would say not giving him his spot, but you did, thats what friends are for.

I think if your grammer was as good as your sportsmanship you would be writing bestsellers.

Seems like it would take a good friend to give back something already given, especially with how much the spot must have meant.

Jimmy is right.  "You did the honorable thing and you know it."  That pretty much sums it up.

Are you lookin for someone to say that you should have bowled?  I doubt it's gonna happen, and if it does, they will probably be joking, if they aren't they have issues...

Rye1, I think you pretty much answered your own question. That's the right thing to do obviously. Maybe take a bit more care in how you format your post out and will recieve some more positive responses.

I would only take the spot if I was 100% certain I would perform better, if I was unsure, Id rather not find out.
