I figure bowling three games a week isn't much practice, so it will probably be falling anytime soon. I got on a hot streak, but those can end anytime.

Finished up last year at 210-215 after going on a tear the last 6-8 weeks of the season.
I expected to be averaging higher this season, based on last year's finish, but I guess I'm just slower starter.

Link shows Jim's scores of 224, 151 and 181. Look at the scores we have for the BR league and you see the same scores Jim has. And that was the week his back was bad. Point is BR shows total pins of 3181, which is what the League Secretary shows. So there is no using his 'better' average from Thursday night he's subbing in.
If you look at my week 5 scores, they are the same between the two, as are my total pins of 3344.

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?quote:

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.

The 2 that arent, I am averaging 240 in a scratch league and the other is a travelling league in all MUCH tougher houses than I have ever bowled in. Im at 215 or so in that league bowling every other week. I didnt bowl in either of these league last year.
The other 3 leagues are as follows:
229 in a scratch league at a house where I struggled last year and averaged 218
http://www.leaguesecretary.com/LeagueFiles.aspx?LID=18252&IFTID=1
219 in a handicap league with my dad (who is injured) and my mom (who is blind) part time. Lets just say I pay very little attention to what Im doing in this league. See also: 140-something the last game this week thumb in. Same house as Wednesdays the previous league. I averaged about the same thing last year.
http://www.leaguesecretary.com/LeagueFiles.aspx?LID=18597&IFTID=1
228 in a Mixed Handicap League with head to head points. The handicap is based off 210---most of my matches are against other who are bowling scratch. I averaged 237 in this league last year. This is the league I use for the Ballreviews doubles league.
http://www.leaguesecretary.com/LeagueFiles.aspx?LID=39183&IFTID=1
So I bowl 5 leagues in 3 different houses and a travelling that goes to houses that I have never bowled in before. Fun stuff.

No, Bowl.com does not reflect any of this. I have no achievements and I've yearbooked 200-210 for years.
But I don't feel I really need to defend myself in this matter. I've held my own on the lanes against the best this city has to offer. And that's prize enough for me.

I am bowling in three different leagues this year, with three disticnctly different oil patterns. I gusess that's why i suck this year!
One house is unmistakeably dry! The other house fluctuates between med/hvy and lite oil and the house that I post my scores from is medium to medium heavy.
I guess i'm struggling cause I'm not making the transition from one condition to the next, as smoothly as I have in the past. If I can manage to get back to the 190's, I'll be happy. I haven't even sniffed a 700 this year!!
