I decided to forego my JOG qualification and bowl adult leagues this summer, but I'd like to think I still would have been in the top 50.  In the traveling youth tournaments I bowled this winter, I bowled against Justin Crumley (currently 2nd), Cory Simmons (who I finished 2nd to at our state Pepsi finals, and currently in 25th) and Chris Dilley (currently 30-something).  Justin and Cory are admittedly better bowlers than I am, but I held my own fairly well.  I was the only one that beat Cory in match play at Pepsi (although he beat me in the positioning round), I'm 1-4 against Justin in match play, and something like 4-0 against Dilley.  These tournaments are all on sport shots, and although I missed the first and last tournaments of the year, I was still in the top 5 in total points.  I made the top 8 every tournament I bowled.  Bragging rant off.

The only difference between youth and adult leagues are that the big boys are allowed to whine.  They're more entertaining anyway.
