Anyway, I was bowling against a friend and we had both found a great line to the pocket. About halfway through the game I went to him and jokingly said "hey, how about we just end this game in a tie?" He agreed and we kept on striking through the ninth.
Before the tenth frame I asked him if he wanted to go first, or should we trade shots? We decided to trade shots. I went first, he went second, and so on. After I struck on the 12th ball I/we didn't celebrate until after he went Brooklyn and carried.
It was great fun, and I honestly wanted him to keep striking, because I wanted to be able to say that I was part of a rare thing when two guys bowling head-to-head both rolled 300 games against each other on the same game.
On a side note, we also tied the second game at 221, but an ugly split for me in the last frame of game 3 kept me from winning series, but I didn't care a bit. He won 757 to 743. I also didn't throw a single strike during warm-ups. I kept leaving the 10 pin, or a 7 pin, but decided to move left and swing the ball more and it ended up working. I used the Ultra Zone polished with Snake Oil.
Anyone else see this happen before? Just curious...

I did this a few years ago. The anchor man on the other team and I were going back and forth and I let him finish first (it was his first 300) and then I luckily threw the next 3 as well. Lot's of high fives all around. And he was lefty so that made it cool, a lefty/righty match.
No one could say one side was easier than the other than night

A few years ago, my teammate shot 300 and her opponent shot 299. That was the only point we won that game (scratch five person teams / match points).

My team lost one time when I had shot 300, they ragged on me cuz I didn't shoot 317. THEN we would have won!! Sheesh...

Surely a man of your talents could have gotten a 317. I, on the other hand, am a mere mortal so I had to stop at 300...

The same series, my team needed me to strike out the last game to tie and I then would have shot 805. I finished with an 804. We lost that third game.
--------------------
High game 300
High series 804
High triplicate 774
High average 221
best game. when I was 6 I bowled a 158

I shot 279, 289
My partner shot 299, 279
Total 578 568 1136
and we loose everything....
They shot:
289, 299
300, 279
589 578 1167
In league I shot 821 for the 1st 3 and then shot 279 for 1100 and lost all points in a peterson point league.
As a friend said to me... some days your pigeon... other days your the statue. I have been the statue more often than the pigeon in my bowling days.
