WBT scoring. Potential spoilers I guess
« on: February 21, 2016, 02:13:18 PM »
To anyone watching this show now why is the scoring different? I don't understand bowling originally is not that hard to score. Why do they feel the need to change it? Just curious on what people think.

It's their attempt to try and find something different for the Olympics

Okay I thought I heard them mention that. I don't understand why though. It doesn't change the overall score (max is still 300). Maybe goes a little quicker because there isn't a tenth frame. I personally think it was to help viewers score easier as well. Just my opinion I guess.

I have a hard time putting together 12 strikes in a row. They are getting paid 10,000 dollars to throw 10 in a row. I think that is a little stupid and devalues the 300 even more than it already was. But congrats to Dom Barrett.

I don't like this scoring system at all! Score keeping isn't that damn hard! Use the traditional scoring. If not, at least make the 10th frame 3 potential shots for this world b/s scoring system!
There's two kinds of music METAL and bullshit!

I think most of the players didn't like the new scoring system but they understand the reasoning behind it. At least when they were talking with Dom Barrett. I understand the why now but come on traditional scoring is not that hard at all.

Apparently some people who have a hard time with basic math think it is.

+1

It's just like the frame play they tested within the past few years where whoever got the highest count won the frame.  They need to keep scoring traditional.

Props to Dom Barrett for bowling great today.  It was also nice to see Mike Fagan come back and have a strong run on the show.  Then Danielle McEwan is really bowling well lately and has been stepping up when it counts.  Great to see.

I did not see the show.  What was different about the scoring system?  Don't you still need 12 strikes in a row for a 300?

The world bowling system is 10 frames, but the 10th is just like every other frame. Don't have to throw 3

Dom only needed 10 in a row for a 300. Stupid in my opinion.

So if only 10 strikes, then every strike is worth 30 pins per frame?  What happens if after the first 9, the bowler gets 9/ in the 10th?  Or 9-?  Is it possible to get a 299? 

I guess I just don't understand the new, modern math.

It seemed like 9/ = 19

X = 30
9/ = 19
8/ = 18
9- = 9
