Game 1: 167 victory

Game 2: 258 loss

Game 3: 234 loss

This is a frequent pattern for me this year. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Not me but one of my friends. In a league he bowled last year, he lost both times he shot 300 and I think he even lost all the games when he shot 805 or something like that. But unlike you, he still lost the games he bowled bad. He had a bad team.

That is my story.. everytime i shoot 250 my team loses.
I shoot 160 and we win.
not sure why but IT IS frustrating.

The team I'm on is the highest averaging junior team in town! We're barely over 750...WOOO!

It looks like Houston, Texas will have nice weather this year for Thanksgiving. Temperatures could reach the upper 60's.

Yes, this is my team this year. If I don't break down the lane conditions correctly, my team can't score their average. Once the pattern breaks down, they miraculously can score. Very frustrating to sacrifice my score and average for team wins. I would love to bowl a 200 game and have a team win, but that is not working this year.

Definately been the story of my season so far too. I shoot like crap and we manage to win, but the nights that I am striking at will, we lose. Had one game where I shot 254 and the other 4 guys on my team didn't break 150....so of course, we got killed.

Then if I express disappointment that I bowled poorly, I get the "but we won the points...its a team sport, you should be happy". Yeah, I know its a team sport and I am happy that we won, but it leaves a sour taste in my mouth that I bowled like crap on a personal level.

Been there. In one of my leagues I have 4 300's in the past 2 years and we've lost 3 of those games.

Add me to the club. A few weeks back I shot 750+ and we won 1 game. The last 2 weeks I've had something in the 640's and we've only lost 1.

Who cares? Read it if you want to or ignore it. This seems like a good site to brag about bowling if you're good enough to accomplish something (I'm not).

Much better tonight!
216= win
255= win
277= win

The team really rose to the occasion tonight as the opposing team bowled well and we still swept.
