TUESDAY HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #9

Free Agents: 3 - Honor: 1

It was a fortunate night for us. Dietrich had to bowl with borrowed equipment and we put up our lowest score of the season. All the ingredients for a bad night were present. Somehow, we overcame the obstacles to win 3 of the 4 points. That wasn't the limit of our good fortune -- the two teams ahead of us were swept. As a result, we passed one of them and moved to within one point of first place.

TUESDAY HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #8



Free Agents: 4 - Farmer's Market: 0

Our success in October continued with a sweep of Farmer's Market.  For the second consecutive week, we exceeded our previous high game and for the third consecutive week we exceeded our previous high series. The high game (931) and series (2512) are also the high marks for the league.

Our sweep moved us into a third place tie with Roll Players at 21-11. We didn't gain any ground on The Hostages who are in first place (25-7) but we closed within 2 points of No Ketchup who presently hold second place (23-9).

TUESDAY HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #7

Free Agents: 3 - Team 13: 1

Entering this week's play, we held a record of 14-10, 4-1/2 points behind the league leaders in 10th place. Our opponents were Team 13 who were in 21st place with a record of 11-13. We spotted them 163 pins per game in handicap.

We started slowly and Team 13 jumped on us quickly to win the first game by 81 pins. We came alive in the second game with a score of 900 (our high of the season) to win by 199. We cooled off a bit in the third game but still won it by 48 pins. We earned the point for total pinfall which gave us a 3-1 edge on the night. This improved our record to 17-11.

After a slow start in September, we are 10-2 in October and moving steadily toward the top of the standings.

TUESDAY HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #6

Free Agents: 4 - Team 30: 0

We started the night in 15th place with a record of 10-10. Our opponents were Team 30 with a record of 6-14.  We came out strong in the first two games before fading in the third. Despite the fade, we were good enough to top our previous high series by 8 pins and earn all four points. Our record improved to 14-10 which moved us from 15th to 10th in the standings..

Next week we have Team 13 on the schedule and my best estimate says we'll be spotting them about 163 pins.

We're 7-1 in October. Can we retain our hot hand?

TUESDAY HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #5

Free Agents: 3 - Really!!!!!: 1

This week we faced REALLY!!!!! (Team 34) on lanes 3-4. They had a new bowler, Doug Holley, filling their previously vacant spot on the roster. We were told he was establishing his average with the three games bowled that night. I believe this is incorrect. Doug Holley is a USBC member with a book average of 193 from the 2011-2012 season and 194 from the 2013 summer season at Pinole Valley Lanes. The 194 average in the 2013 summer season was from 42 games bowled in a scratch league. I believe his average for handicapping purposes must be based on his established average of 193 or 194 and not the 3-game aberration that took place last night. I sent an eamil to Mike Richards and we'll see if he agrees with my opinion.

Anyway, the figures below assume an average of 194 for Doug which gives REALLY!!!!! a handicap of 106 pins per game. If they are inexplicably allowed to use Doug's scores from last night to determine his average, it would be 179 and they would instead get a handicap of 119. This change would not affect the outcome of any of the games.

We lost the first game but won games two and three by a margin great enough to earn us the extra point for total pinfall. Our record of 3-1 for the night improved our record for the season to 10-10.
