My team pays a dollar for high game every game and two for high series. We also play a game called The Five. Everyone puts in five dollars at the beginning of the night (5 man team). The first person to strike gets "the five". But the goal is to have it at the end of the game, where you have to strike on the first ball in the tenth to win the five dollars. If the first person doesn't strike the first frame, the next person to strike picks it up. And as long as that person keeps striking, he keeps the five. So it usually passes around the team once or twice, unless someone is lighting it up. Last night had the front 9 and carried the five the entire game, then choked in the tenth to lose it. It's cheap and fun. If no one wins, it moves on to the next game.
