nobody said you had to display only 1 game on the screen. You obviously got a 300.

 

hmm, I dunno... the password is obviously showing that the 165 is the proper score.

 

If he wanted to submit the 300, then the password should have been up at the 300.

 

 

HA!!!! Nice way to close out the tourney, Intellifan. It's been a few weeks since your last 300.

You can post the 165 from his Daughter if you like, but we will still be in 2nd place facing you guys in the Bowl off! :)

Guys, the boy and I will not be able to get a score in before monday morning. Anyone have a problem with a few hours of leniency on our scores?

we are ok with that. This time. But if it happens again we will have to take you and the boy out to the town square to be tarred and feathered. :)

My score for week 8...231. Great season everyone! Couldn't come close to the 300 score.

Kudos to all that scored 300 this season! Bring on the Skiing League!

 

How about future leagues:

Frog Bog League

Auto Racing Series

Chip Shot League - I suck at this game!

I too might need an extension this week. I'm not sure if I'll be home in time to post a score by tonite.

I was really hoping to go out with a 300, but not quite. After my first 300 I thought I would be able to get them every week, but it is quite difficult to pull off even after you figure out a good form. Congrats to those that pull it off week in and week out.

 

The Dude Award: The Dude Award will be going to the player with the highest pin count over the whole league. I'll let Opry do the math and let me know.

 

Next Season Thoughts: I think one thing we could do to really add a level of difficulty would be to have everyone bowl right handed, so there is less predictability. I think scores would really come crashing down, but it would be a bit more "realistic".

 

Next League Thoughts: I don't have Chip Shot, but I did buy my son a FB for Xmas which has it. I played my first few games with him today. It is very challenging at first, but once you get a feel for it, it is quite fun. I would definitely get in on a season. There are five premade courses, so it would lend itself to a five week season, one course a week. My preference would be every man, or woman, for his or her self. Like a real tournament, we could keep a leaders board week to week.

 

This league has been awesome. It really gave me something to look forward to during the winter. Great idea, Opry! High five to everyone. There are a lot of people involved, and we all did a great job on following through and making this epic.

I need to get a flashback, or buy a copy of Chipshot... I might be in for that idea. :) It really is a very good golf game for its time, and inspired the original PGA Tour Golf on the Sega Genesis (which, IMO, was one of the landmark games in sports video game history)

 

I wanted to do Chipshot over the winter, but didn't know it was on the FB and I didn't have a physical copy.

I have continued playing it today. It is actually quite addictive. Challenging, but consistent. I have noticed that the wind and the slant of the greens have a big effect on the ball. And whatever you do, don't get caught in a group of trees. It is very hard to get out. It is sort of like bowling. There are a lot of variables to consider which make the game play more interesting in my opinion.

 

You don't really need the overlays, if it even came with any. The instructions are online. So, you could buy a cheap cart off eBay. There are also occasional cheap FB on goodwill.com. They normally sell for $5 to $10 plus shipping. I think I paid $15 shipped; although, it didn't come with overlays.

I played it a bunch as a kid, and always found it a bit frustrating to play. I will give it some time over the next week or so and see what I think now. I assume just regular skiing? I definitely don't have super pro skiing, but if you send me a copy...

Same thing here Jay - bowled a couple 300s and then bang! Tough time repeated that.

 

In fact played real bowling last night which I hadn't played in many years for inspiration. Just wasn't in the cards this week.

 

Thanks everyone who participated and of course thanks Opry for running this.. had fun!
