if you would like me to not butcher the language just ask that of me don't mock me. I am here just like every one else to talk about bowling. If I knew this were the time and place to type in a formal fashion rather than the casual norm you see forums, instant messaging, and blogs also known net lingua or net lingo I would have done so. Most use of the language has been nothing more than a shorthand and casual vernacular pertaining casual bowling conversation.

Big talk from someone that only carries a 198 average on the great wall of china. League is only league, most bowlers are out their for fun, I have a good time destroying the wannabes like you. A guy like you that were to bowl in the scratch league that I bowl in would be laughed at.

I have the money to go to tourneys, If you don't I sorry to hear that. You put your money into the prize fund well guess what...SO DO I, so why is your opinion better than mine? I can choose to be as serious as I want with it just like you.

So if I should bowl in the ''have a ball league''  you better go back to ''learn to bowl,'' junior, cause your little 19 something average and your little 746 hi set doesn't impress me.

Get lost TOE (TOE=is something I can kick easily, an annoyance)

quote:
You're a tool, Mainzer. Maybe where you are, you're not making any money in leagues. Some of us can't afford the extra expense of tournaments and travel to and from said tournaments, so league is the only opportunity we have to bowl for something more than practice.

I don't know about you, but I take every ball I throw seriously. Doesn't matter where it is or what it's for. It's called being competitive. Should I lay down and not care because it's "only league"? I'm still putting my money into the prize fund and I have a right to take it as seriously as I choose, whether you like that or not.

I'll tell you what I tell the people like you in my center - If you want to have fun, join a Have-A-Ball league. If you're bowling in any kind of competition where money is involved, expect competitive bowlers.

quote:
Well it sounds like you take league bowling way to seriously. Who cares what you shot in league? It doesn't make you any money, they keep on taking awards away from us so their is no reason to take it that seriously.

If you want to be serious bowl tourneys.

 I know, that is why I went back and took out all the sarcasm and incorrect english I had originally posted. I guess I'm just getting old, but this internet "shorthand", and leaving out whole words, just makes people look uneducated (STUPID) to me, as well as making me feel they are assaulting my intelligence with their "home-made" linguicode.

 Forgive an old man who was taught that properly addressing people, and proper use of the english language, showed a modicum of respect to others.  

 I guess I just make too much of it.

Good god, are we pissy today...  

First jumping on someone truley excited to bowl each week.  And then blasting said happy person about his language. Granted I can't stand shorthand typing without punctuation but either post it or don't, don't talk about what you didn't post so you can rant about modern abbreviated communication.

Were we all not at this point of pining away for league night to come around again so we can try and beat last weeks score?  Get over yourselves with the tournament comments.  I've seen better competition in leagues than some tourney's big whoop.

Keep looking forward to league but do try to use compete thoughts when talking with people.

Yeah that was a bad one, one of my worst actually time to get that out of their! Thanks for the words CRD! Didn't come out on the screen anything like I wanted it to that is for sure.

I have a hard time putting into words how I feel about leagues I enjoy bowling them to a point but I get bored with it, I like the challenge of something new and different the league I bowled in last year offers that, a little tougher THS.  I like the competition I get in tournements Kinda get a werid rush I dig that.

Anyway that is me. Sorry to any I have offended it was not intended with my words at all. My aplogies to all.

Yup, it can be rough and intolerant around these parts. I, for one, am glad that you get fired up for leagues. I average 215-220 and I get fired up for leagues. WHY??? Because I am nearly 47, I averaged 200 when it meant something, I've bowled tons of tournaments, and I realize how tough even a smaller regional tournament (like NEBA, New England Bowlers Assoc.) can be.

For the bucks (and I'll assume Mainzer is one) that are so bored by leagues and can't take it seriously, I just hope that you don't get stuck bowling in a league with one of them. I'm usually one of the better bowlers in the leagues I bowl/sub in. One young guy (19) whom I've befriended, is so disturbed to be averaging 204 in the Summer men's league after averaging 225 in the Winter. I've talked to him about adjusting for dryer conditions...and eventually he'll learn. His talk of sponsors and tour bowling has stopped this summer.  


quote:
Big mouth attached to someone without the cohones to post his average because, quote, "it's irrelevant". Sure it is, but only because you don't want us to see how truly horrible you are.

Yeah, you have every right to not take league seriously, just don't complain about those of us who do. THAT is why you should join a Have-A-Ball league, since you apparently don't want to be around people who see league as competition to be taken seriously. If you want to bowl league for fun and not be around competitive bowlers, join a fun league. Don't join a money league and then complain about people who are there to win like myself.

Learn to bowl? I don't think so, I know how to bowl. Yeah, I booked 198, in my first season of adult leagues, after a year off. Kill yourself, hack.

Learn to bowl for you? Junior I think so! I carried 201 for my only full league this year. In a house I have only bowled in once in a great while, with a tougher than average shot,flying backends, (Plastic gear can be played over third arrow)Over the top returns so no moving left like you can, and you gotta be half in the bag before you enter the Bowling alley. I also put 220+ averages up in three different houses this season while subbing but didnt get 21 games in.

For your info the last three teams i bowled with in scratch leagues have finished 3rd,1st,3rd the last three years...in three different houses, I am far from a hack junior.

I have fun in league don't get me wrong but, I think it is a waste of money and time that is my thoughts on it. I also live in an area where their are alot of amatuers who have taken the Eagle home from US Nationals, Tournement play, where I am from gets you respect, not league play no one around here wants to really bowl leagues just tourneys and I have fallen in with that line of thinking.


I see where you're coming from, but around Indy it seems there are a lot of guys that like to try to supplement their income between tournaments.  Thus the big $ brackets/side pots.  These leagues also, if my memory is good, pay out pretty well to the winners of the league.

jbruno I aplogized for my remarks on the 1st page.

9 has it right. Just because some people have access to leagues that can pull in lots of money in a night doesn't mean everyone does. Here their is very little money in league bowling. One league in GB I have heard pays out decent, another about 30 miles south in Appleton my hometowm pays very well to that is about it for decent prize funds/ Money in leagues.

Around here tournements are where the money is, So I bowl tourneys seriously and have some fun in league seeing as their is very little money in it. The league I bowl is scratch and it is also the most I have ever had with a bowling ball in my hand.
