15th place, not to shabby!

As you probably know by now, we finished 15th. A significant improvement where we finished last season, (21st) so good job Brew Crew!! All in all, its where we should be, somewhere in the middle 3rd.


 
Some quick stats on this season’s accomplishments (averages do not include the last night):

  
Pearl- average 118, high game 164
Ethel- average 108, high game 144
Opal- average 82, high game 103
Esme- average 118, high game 161
Agnes- average 122, high game 154
Abe- average 159, high game 191
Wilbur- average 134, high game 174
Gus- average 188, high game 243

I’ll be seeing most of you soon to distribute the winnings. I’m not sure how they calculate the winning amounts, because Wilbur noticed the 4th place team only got like $25 or $30 more than us….but the Malcontents (who were 24th) got $50 less than us (total). I think they might factor in the number of bowlers, but I’m not sure…

 
Next season starts August 30th, let me know if you’re interested and in the meantime enjoy your summer and try to get a couple practice rounds in.

Fallin'....

Sorry guys, we lost all 3 games. Ouch. One was really close (so close each of us were like "I alone could've done that game if only I'd done better in that one frame") but the others weren't as close. None of us could have a good (or even decent) game at the same time and to make it worse, they had someone prebowl who had 3 great games in a row!! I got a 154 the first game...but that wasn't enough to counteract the one guy's 279! (his average is 183) I didn't do so well the last 2 games, and at least 2 members of the other team were consistently beating their average each and every game...so, we lost all 3. Fallin hurts.
So we were tied for 10th, but I expect we fell to around to between 15-18th place. Gus and I will practice this weekend and lets hope we can win a couple in the playoffs next week to finish strong in the top 15-20!!!
