I was wondering what all of us are currently averaging and averaged for last year.

Last year's book was 193 with only 3 games a week because I was working part time and enrolled in High School as well.

Currently, I'm averaging 235.

212 last year and struggling a bit this season at 197. It's only 7 weeks into a 36 week season. I'll be happy to finish this year around 205-210.

Last year I carried everything.

I average 218 there but on Thursday nights I have bowled 3 weeks and have averaged 249 there for 9 games but have NEVER listed any of those scores for the scratch doubles as that would be cheating..

Just a suspicion, I mean I honestly could care less as this is not for any money but I personally think if someone has to cheat on something like this, they are a pretty low individual..

I have done this for several years and it seems very strange to me that some bowlers NEVER have a bad game.. Its 7 something every week..

agreed. i notice that also. i'm only bowling one league, in which i'm back up to 198 after what i shot tonight. i didn't bowl last year, so i have no average to compare to but i'm up 11 pins from my entering average, and 20 from my last sanctioned.

i don't fabricate scores, nor do i have another night of bowling to use for scores. anyone can click the link in my sig to see that i'm posting the the same scores here. its just annoying to see people who claim to shoot 250 or better every game when they post scores here.

if they're really shooting like that EVERY WEEK, why are they not competing at a higher level?

Many people who are averaging 240s are really doing so, legitimately. The largest reason I see for people not competing at a higher level is that they can't afford it. It's expensive to bowl tournaments, relative to league, which seems cheap in comparison.

Also, a lot of the 240 bowlers are house bowlers. Put them on a tournament shot (or even a house shot that isn't their own) and they're lost.

I find it funny that like half the people signed up are at 230+, definitely smells fishy to me. That being said, I post my actual scores, despite the fact I struggled early on in the season and had far better series on other nights of the week. I obviously don't take it seriously and I could care less if people wanna make themselves seem better than what they really are, it just doesn't say much for those people. I'm sure if someone had a little too much free time and a little motivation, they could expose a few clowns for what they really are.

On the subject of cheating...

I can't. I only have one league.

I beg to tell you its only six weeks in and some like me start off well but come back to earth but this year might be my year I can't help it my league is fricking easy this year but it could change.

Jock · « **Reply #25 on:** October 23, 2008, 04:37:41 AM »

Well, I'm up 13 pins this year, but I worked VERY hard in VERY difficult conditions (no oil) over the summer to acheive this. I just hope that it continues.

There's really no point in posting false scores on here.

I was suprised about how high the scores were though.

I've upped my average, so up yours!

While we all know not everyone is honest and I am positive that people cheat but if you have no proof of who is cheating I think it is very rude to point your finger at basically everyone that is doing good this year. If you watch when people post there scores I know there are alot of legitiment postings because like me 99.99 percent of the time as soon as I get home from Monday night league I post my scores. I notice alot of other guys post on the same day every week. I bowl three leagues but post on Monday night or tuesday morning and dont even bowl again til Wednesday or Thursday. Yes alot of people are cheaters and alot of people want to say look at me look at me look what I can do even though they didnt But to accuse everyone that is doing well of cheating is rude if you want to point the finger at someone not everyone have proof. Look them up at bowl.com

dwp · « **Reply #28 on:** October 23, 2008, 08:34:13 AM »

I for one have posted on two different nights. But that's because there are some nights that I'm not bowling on the night I'm posting for (Saturday). If I'm not bowling on Saturday, I always let people on here know that I'll be using my Wednesday scores, and nobody seemed to have a problem with it. I used the last 2 Wednesday scores because I was out of town, but I will be back to my Saturday scores. If I were cheating I could have posted lastnights scores of 772, but I'm not.

I don't need to artificially inflate my scores. I have the lane man doing it for me already.
