Title: Winter BFDT Signup!
Post by: Strider on August 13, 2003, 08:35:04 AM
Sign up here to join the winter Bowling Forum Doubles Tournament.  High and low averages are paired together to make evenly matched teams.  Scoring will be both scratch and handicap (80% of 220).  I will need your high book average from this past winter season (summer average is OK if that is all you have).  Last year’s average is used for the first week’s handicap and then discarded.  Your average (and handicap) will change every week based on the scores you turn in.  This is a fun tournament.  We’re playing for fun, so we’re all on the honor system.  Pick one league to use throughout the BFDT.  A second league or tournament score may be used if your primary league is not held (weather, illness, out of town…) for some reason.  Please contact me if you need to substitute for your main league.  Reply here or message me if you have any questions.

Juniors are fine.  No money is involved.  All you do is sign up, then report your scores on the post I start each week.  I do all the record keeping.  Now that I've got my spreadsheet fine tuned, it really doesn't take too much time.  The week is Sunday to Saturday.  Please have all scores turned in by Tuesday.  If you can't bowl for some reason, a blind (average -10) will be assigned.

I guess I should have asked everyone when their first week was.  We'll start when the majority of people are ready.  We'll go for as long as most people have leagues.  Figure on 30-32 weeks.  I'll take polls around the holidays.  If enough people are off, we'll skip that week.

Right now the one league I am in starts Oct 7th, but I should be getting on another league and should know today or tomorrow. If I can't start until Oct 7th, would there be anyway to get a sub or something?

Mike, you should have bagged down to 150 so I could have paired you up with John Figueroa.  Anyone looks good matched up with a 240+ average bowler.

That's right Ty.  Averages are paired high to low.  You don't get to pick partners, but the team average work out fair for everyone.

Note to self, Curly's average is 213.

Somehow I was coerced into bowling this fall. Put me in coach.
The league is already underway.

My average was either 140 or 203.

Getting big already.  36 people/18 teams already.  Looks like most everyone will start by the end of this month.  Leaning towards making 8/28 - 9/6 the first week.

John Figueroa and Roocat.  I know what you shot in the BFDT, but please give me your high book from last year in case there is a difference.  Thanks.

I have to ask, since I have not been in one of these things before.

How does a person report thier scores? via e-mail, or thru a post?
Im sure there are a bunch of other questions for a newby like myself but that is the only one I can come up with at the moment.

ecajberry,

Each week Strider will open up a new topic with the dates for the week of this tourney here in this forum and you can post your scores there for all the world to see.  Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes (most of the time for me) that's a bad thing.

Last spot (for now) SOLD to Mr. Hershberger.

Yes, this tourney is different than the one Strikinmachine (pick your partner scratch doubles) is running.  Set your prefferences to about 30 days to see all the rules and posts.  In a nutshell, high and low averages are paired together to make even averaged teams.  I do a scratch and handicap (80% of 220) recap each week.

Oops, forgot a bowler who messaged me some time ago.  Sorry Curly, must have forgotten to write you on the list.  Still have an odd number of bowlers.  Need one more, or I may have to leave off the last person (Glen) signed up for now and get him a partner later.

First week will be 8/31 - 9/6.

You can use another league if you're not bowling Labor Day.  If you don't have another league or a tournament to use, I'll assign a blind of 10 minus the average.

If you're bowling, use the league scores of course.  I was just trying to make allowances for the people who's leagues were cancelled for the holiday.

Thanks Curly, but after my humbling showing at a high level scratch tournament yesterday, the last thing I need is another ball.  Time for a good pair of shoes and some lessons.  Hook in a Box I can buy, now where's that Game in a Box?
