Title: 40 Frame Game
Post by: dR3w on March 09, 2014, 02:28:10 PM

I see that the showcase lanes are hosting the "Columibia 300 Forty Frame game".  Does anyone know anything about this tournament?  Are they using a house shot, sport shot, or Nationals team shot?  Is the "regular" r40 frame game still going on outside the bowling center?

this is thew only 40 frame game going on.
usually a pretty easy house shot
I like to do this tournament after i bowl the open
im focused on shot making and have practiced on that pattern
once im done with that, then i can have some fun on the easy stuff + i dont want to be tired beforehand either

We bowled in it this past weekend.  Our group grabbed 3 spots in the top 6 (although it's still early!).  Pretty easy house shot with higher volume.  I did have a few outside misses that hung a bit...buy significantly easier than the Open patterns.

Exactly my thoughts, and it's always a good time.

this is done around here, but usually a more relaxed setting such as maybe on new years and such

The way I've seen it has different frames so like frame 4 8 20 28 and 40 could be 9pin no tap frames

maybe a strike on some frames wins $5

that is what I've seen sounds like a real 40 frame game would be fun in a real tournament.

40 framer is a fun tournament. I went 40 clean last year, almost didn't put the money in for it too

Drink prices were a little on the high side for a "normal" bowling center.
