Bowling on the wrong lanes?
« on: March 27, 2015, 09:40:23 AM »
Well, yesterday in my league we were supposed to be bowling on lanes 7-8. I don't know why, but all the teams were moved one pair to the left, so we ended bowling in 5-6. The teams that were supposed to bowl on 3-4 were moved to the other side of the building and bowled on 25-26. We let the secretary and the president know about it and we asked why we were gonna bowl on different lanes than the scheduled and they said it was a "computer glitch".

I don't have any complain about this. But my teammates do. They said that it is against USBC rules, blah, blah, blah and that they were gonna complain with them and that they were gonna try to invalidate yesterdays results. By the way we only won one game lol. My question is, do they have a case here? I mean, I don't want to complain, but since we are (or we were) first place until yesterday and the league is about to end, I guess they are gonna give it a try.

We lost 2 games with three of us bowling 675, 675 and 680. They had one "sub" with 164 average after nine games and he bowled 225, 243 and 210. Hard to beat that, isn't it?

That would be Mr. Common Sense to you, whiner.
If you're so gutless as to hide behind the ignore button while taking shots at people....why are you even here?

So what do you propose (using 20/20 hindsight), L3nn0n, WAS the correct solution to the lane assignment question, in a utopian league? 

Everyone in league that night bowls on the standing sheet assigned lanes, and goes manual scoring like back in 58'......?   ???

You are so stupid that you can't even read do you? I ain't mad. I bowled pretty good. My teammates were the ones who complained, not me. Good luck next time, troll.

You are one of a kind. I feel sorry for you, but at the same time you really make me laugh. You always act like a tough (internet) guy, trash talking, bashing other posts, complaining or always attacking, but I guess you are doing that because you need some attention. You act like you are Mr Chris Barnes Jr. When sometimes you ask the most stupid questions that any freaking white trash knows the answer. You are an example of what a human being should not be. Thanks for that you pathetic person.

I know. I wasn't mad. I did my best and we lost. Yesterday we won and we are first place again. 279 and 728. So, I am ok.

I just posted a question regarding what MY TEAMMATES told me and about something they were complaining. If you can't understand that, well, I am sorry.

Ask your teammates, next time you see them,  if they thought manual scoring was an (THE) optimal and just solution.

Their psychology is fascinating.

Also, while I understand you're saying THEY were the ones crying, to be fair, you DID make this comment.

What pissed me off is that we did our best, we bowled pretty good, all of us bowled at least 10 pins above our average and we won nothing! NONE!

You can see how we get the impression you were irked?

Yes, but I never said that I was pissed because we bowled on the wrong lanes. See the difference or do you need a special class?

I am well educated.  Re-read the thread and many, perhaps incorrectly, got the same tone from it.  To be clear, I understand you weren't upset about moving pairs, that was an issue with your friends.

As you said in the OP:

My question is, do they have a case here? I mean, I don't want to complain, but since we are (or we were) first place until yesterday and the league is about to end, I guess they are gonna give it a try.

What you're missing is that I'm having an honest debate with you here (and you aren't reacting to that well I see, mad bro?  :P).  I'm attempting to get you (since you know your friends) to argue/defend their case to see if it has merit. 

Spoiler:  it doesn't

I'll move along now since I spoiled all the drama.

Geesh.....

No, I don't think they have a case here. They were mad BEFORE we lost all the games, and obviously they were even more after we bowled. I really think you need to take reading lessons or you have an attention disorder because clearly you didn't understand what I wrote when I started this thread.

I don't care about picking fights on the internet. I am well educated too, but I am tired of people that comes only to bash a post, to attack or to just to troll. I really hope you are 13 years old or something, because if you are older than that, well, you have a big problem my friend...

I asked a genuine question because I was curious of what might happen if they complain with the USBC. That's all. I am not 13 anymore to "fight" in a forum with random people. So, let's move on.
