Well, I was sitting and thinking about how many "high" games I have thrown this year and then thought, well, what is a high game?? Is a high game anything shot over 220,230,240 etc....

I understand that different people will have different standards as to what a high game would be to them. Obviously someone who averages 220 and shoots a 230 probably wont look at that as a high game. However if someone who averages 190 shoots the same score, he does think its a high game. Personally if I shoot anything over a 240, its a high game. Not that 220's and 230's dont mean anything, they are still 40+ pins higher than my average. But if I shoot a 240 or better then I consider that to be a high game. So what do you guys think??

When I bowl in league no matter what my average may be I think it's 200 because tournies it's all based on a +/- 200 average system....I would consider 230+ a good game...over 250 I would feel I bowled very well...

I think anytime you're shooting over your average it's a good game. Maybe anything over a 1 is a good game since a bad day bowling is still better than a good day of work.

Any game where I felt like I threw a minimum of 8 shots that felt right - regardless of score.

I would say right around 260-270+.  I dont usually care how high my game is anymore as long as i feel that i threw a good game and win.

I've been using the Frames software for a month now, and my two high games out of 134 are 258 and 241. The next best are in the 210 range. I'd like to think that anything over my current average of 176 is decent, and any frames over 200 are good; 240 to perfect are high scores.

A friend of mine once said that if you want to average 200, quit thinking of 200 as a good game. Move the "good" bar to 225 or better.
So I did that, and I started averaging closer to 200. When I got over 200, I raised the bar to 235 - and booked 220. Now that I've booked 220, 245+ is a good game. Anything over 260 I consider very good.
