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.
