Oh yeah, cleaner...something pretty useful(I like that), good idea Rock77, thanks.  I just wanted to do something for fun and some trash talking...lol
Wait, it's gotta be the choice of Track cleaners that I have in stock at the time...

Rick

That's a pretty good idea!  720 ehhh, is that for 4 games?  

I also suggest we narrow it down to say one league for the multiple league bowlers.  Makes it easier to determine the pins over average.

Highest average....ouch!  But I think that's fair.

TENPIN .. just wanted to note that I'd love to join you .. think it's a GREAT IDEA .. but I have the CRASH and the THREAT .. but not using them as START balls right now .. don't want to cheat .. wish I could join you .. I'll be watching the fun!

I am in too.  My two main goto balls are a Threat and Dry Heat.

Questions:
- If we are going for pins over average, then do we use our average at the start of the month for the whole month, or our average as of each week of the month?
- Do we take the sum of all our over avg and under avg series for the month or just the sum of the over avg series?

Example 1:
Week 1 - Avg 190; Shoot 700 - Pins Over Avg  130
Week 2 - Avg 197; Shoot 600 - Pins Over Avg    9
Week 3 - Avg 197; Shoot 510 - Pins Over Avg  -81
Week 4 - Avg 194; Shoot 750 - Pins Over Avg  168
Total Pins Over Avg = 130 + 9 - 81 + 168 = 226
OR
Total Pins Over Avg = 130 + 9 + 168 = 307

Example 2:
Week 1 - Avg 190; Shoot 700 - Pins Over Avg  130
Week 2 - Avg 190; Shoot 600 - Pins Over Avg   30
Week 3 - Avg 190; Shoot 510 - Pins Over Avg  -60
Week 4 - Avg 190; Shoot 750 - Pins Over Avg  180
Total Pins Over Avg = 130 + 30 - 60 + 180 = 280
OR
Total Pins Over Avg = 130 + 30 + 180 = 340

Count me in. We taking averages for this season thus far I take it?

I suggest this...

We start November 1st, we take Rock's idea of using pins over and pins under avg.  But you have to be honest about your average...it's not too tough to check your average each week, so i say that it should be pins over your current average, not your average at the start of the month.  Winner at the end of the month gets choice of a towel or an 8oz. bottle of cleaner, something like that.  Rick, I can even volunteer to help you out with the organization/stat keeping end of it.  I'm looking forward to the friendly competition amongst us Tracksters.
