damn near an all 9-pins/spare game!
« on: January 19, 2005, 06:35:08 PM »
first game tonight, i threw a strike in the first frame and finished with 10 9-pins/spares. 5 7's, 3 10's, 2 4's. 200. it was just about the wildest thing i have ever done, except for my 3 straight opens/9 straight strikes 236.

anyone ever have a genuine all 9 pins/spare game?

i don't care who makes it, how much it costs, or how sexy the ball looks. can i carry the 7 and level the deck with a $60 ball?

Congrats on the clean game and picking up all those consecutive spares but I got a question........my bowling math says that should have been a 191 game not a 200?? You must have at least one double in a game or dutch a game to get a 200 or 200+.

Don, long ago I bowled an 8 game tournament, last squad (tourney lasted several weeks).  Last game I need about 210 to win.  (sigh) Now this is well before I had any idea about how to adjust for 10 pin leaves.  10 straight 10 pins for 190. (sigh)

ooops, checked the score sheet. yea, lol, 190. kinda had a few last night... oh well, i was happy to have picked them all up.

isnt there an ABC award for an all-spare game?
