What does your house give you?
« on: May 06, 2007, 10:20:48 AM »
Just wondering what houses do for honor scores?  The one house I bowl in gives 100 dollars for a 300 game, and a framed certificate for 300, 800, or 11 in a row.  Not sure if the other house I bowl in does anything or not, nothing for my 299 earlier this season.  I personally think the 100 dollars should go for 800 series instead of 300 games, but it's very generous of them nonetheless, and this is a house where a lot of honor scores are shot.  Kind of an old tradition they've kept up with, that I'm not sure many other houses do these days, and can't really blame them.  Who else gets money or anything else, and what are they.  Just interested.

$500.00 for the 1st 300 of the season.
$300.00 for the 2nd 300 of the season.
$100.00 for all 300 after that (excluding multiple 300's by the same person).

and nothing for 800's.

$100 for a 300
and $300 for an 800 (I think this is right anyway - I know the $100 for a 300 is correct)

I believe they give $100 for a 300 along with a plaque.  They used to give a huge trophy and they might for a first 300.  I'm not sure of the reward for 800, but I am sure there is something.

They give a "300 Club" jacket and a penant that hangs from the ceiling which you see as you bowl. The penants are only for 800's and 300's for men. The women get penents for high 700's, 298's 299'3 and 300's.

Also, for any honor score, 100 pins over average 11 in a row, they enter you into a raffle and buffet which the house gives away over $1200. You get one entry per each honor score.

I believe ours is just an announcement. I think there is a golden pin too, but not in gold, just one of those pins in a gold color.

My house gives $50 for a 300, which I nearly had tonight on the last night(had a 298), $100 for an 800 series, which I also nearly had tonight(ended with a 796), not sure about the 11 in a row which I did have. A 299 ring I got last season, now a 298 ring tonight.

both places I bowl just do the announcement.  I'm actually surprised other places gave money or awards for 300's.  Now 15-20 years ago, they were a big deal and the bowling centers honored them, but they are so common place anymore that people don't think twice about them.  

The 300 game no longer has the mystique about it.  The 800 and 900 are the real honor scores in the current era of bowling.
