BR Track tourney
« on: October 13, 2004, 02:40:38 AM »
Okay guys, here goes the updated info.  Entry deadline for this month is 10/31...join in anyone!  Please submit averages to Andrew at loose5682, if you want you can also post out here for others to see and get an idea of who's at what avg.

Rules:
1) Pins over current average for 4 weeks of bowling, highest average at the beginning of the month will be used for that month
2) Must use a Track ball for all 3 games(1st 3 games if you bowl 4 in league)....spare balls ok
3) Pls list ball used so we all can see what's working out there...
4) HONESTY a must....LOL...I'm starting to get to know a few of you guys and I know how you are...lol
5) Report your scores weekly to loose5682 and update(modify) your personal post for all to see, it can also work as a cross reference to the leader board.
6)There cannot be multiple winners so second place to a previous winner will take the monthly prize and be included into the TOC.

Please use the following format to list your personal scores.

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 = 226

Here's our current list of participants:
tenpinspro, Rock77, Aristotle, (Hall of famer) Anthony Chapman, loose5682, Traumabill, ClutchClay, TJFreaky24, VT_Turkey, Ernie McCracken, Mitch Cumsteen, OmegaBowler, EXCALIBER, bowler257628, Icetink, PNJ1267, dw23, not_enuff_carry203, aharvey, WIX, psaunders300, the great one, MC, stormin1, pbafire, OG1, srlunatic, Columbia4Life, Roy Munson, Vasilis, Lane Bed

How about a 10 pin bonus for those of us that are going through chemotherapy? Unfortunately my highest average league is on Wednesday which means that I will miss at least 1 week during the tournament time because I'll be at the hospital. Any suggestions?

Hmm...I have a friend in your same boat Aristotle, he's going through Chemo and will be missing bowling every once in a while...hmm...do we give him just an even score for his absent week (or for any absent week) or do we do the generic avg. -10 rule?  That almost wouldn't be fair because then they get a score of -30 even though they couldn't help but miss.  I for one vote for the even score idea, that way no harm, no benefit if you miss a week.

Definitely NOT too late to enter, I believe we're taking "entries" up until the 31st, right?

(Rock77 picks me up, hangs me upside down and shakes until all the change in my pockets fall out..) which isn't hard to do btw...

Dude, you're digging too deep into my pockets man...lol.  I can't afford weekly plus monthly, I was hoping for just monthly and maybe for TOC.  Remember, I haven't called Track for anything...yet.  

Aristotle, I also think 0 for any absent week for any bowler is fine, this is still supposed to be for fun guys.

Andrew, have you got everybody?  I updated my one post with names, pls use that as a reference if you want.

To ALL, everyone is responsible for reporting their own scores on a weekly basis so we can have up to date running totals.  Again, I'm picturing the guys who have Monday league 11/1 will post first and then just modify it weekly for everyone to see.  Pick your highest league to use for average, you don't have to switch off to another league even if it becomes higher, we'll just stick to the one league for the month, plus we should then all be able to see that your scores and current averages for the following week(s) match up.

Example: Avg 200 - Week #1 shoot 630 - the following week should have
         Avg 201 - should probably go up a pin or so, understand?

Anything else?  absent score = 0, weekly input, cutoff this month 10/31...just say it guys if something's missing, thanks.

Haha, i've actually got 2 16# Track orbs for sale if anyone's interested, a Hex and K.O. Punch


In all seriousness though, looks like this is shaping up quite nicely, each monthly winner gets a prize plus an entry into the TOC, multiple monthly winners do not get multiple prizes, but do they get multiple entries into the TOC?  

+/- 0 for absent weeks sounds good

I looked at the PBA schedule and discovered that the PBA TOC is in April, meaning that we'll have...

November
December
January
February
March

Five month's worth of winners before the TOC, so how should we run our TOC then?  Will we do a one week, most pins over average wins?  Should do it for the whole month of April?  Stepladder?  Any suggestions?

I vote no multiple entries into the TOC?  A multiple winner gets bragging rights only - not spoils of victory.  Besides, if we maintain the same format (plus/minus avg), then multiple TOC entries would just mean fewer unique TOC entrants.

The PBA TOC is 04/06 - 04/10.  So, we could do something like this:
Round 1: 11/1 - 11/28 (4 weeks)
Round 2: 11/29 - 12/26 (4 weeks)
Round 3: 12/27 - 01/23 (4 weeks)
Round 4: 01/24 - 02/20 (4 weeks)
Round 5: 02/21 - 03/20 (4 weeks)
TOC: 03/21 - 04/10 (3 weeks)

With this schedule, we get in 5 4-week rounds and a 3-week TOC with the TOC-C being decided on the same day as the PBA TOC-C.  The format for the TOC would be the same as the rounds, plus/minus current average, just one week shorter.

Also, since November and December have possible byes due to holidays, I would propose that a bye in the league you are using for the Tourney be treated just like an absence - a score of plus 0.

I would also propose that your highest average league be set at the start of the round and that league be used for the whole round.

Sorry Im Late. COUNT ME IN, also. Rick, so your pockets dont get down to the lint, Maybe some of the other pro shop guys could throw in some towels, etc. At least if Track doesn't want in on this, which they better, Daddy needs a new ball. What about a side prize for biggest increase in avg from wk 1 - TOC?

Count me in.

tenpinspro

How bout we PM our results to you, then you can post them at the end of the week. It would make the logistics easier to keep track of instead of having a huge drawn out topic with like 25 posts a week and no specific order.

Stormin...actually it'd probably be easier if the results are PMed to me, I think i'm doing all the stat keeping for this thing, or at least a good chunk of it

Hey pbafire,

Yes, please only count your first 3 games.  For ABC awards(like 800), doesn't this count the same way, 1st 3?  Thanks...

Okay Rick, I understand that you arent "moneybags" over there. I just thought it would be a bit more interesting. Either way, it should be fun!!
