pimpmaul69 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I don't think there's any chance of a 400+ score for me, boys. Been a L O N G time since I played. I know I used to be pretty good at it - had a whole technique for where to stand, where to have the little white ball when you let go of the Aim button, how much spin to add, etc. but I'm afraid that was lost to time. Speaking of this... I assume everyone is free to pick the alley slickness, ball weight and L/R they prefer, right? yup. Whatever settings you want.

Speaking of this... I assume everyone is free to pick the alley slickness, ball weight and L/R they prefer, right? Hmm, you may not recall, but 300 is the max possible. This is why if you post a score of 400+ then your bowling alley needs to be inspected. You are welcome to pick whatever lane conditions and hand that you like. I like to use both hands and push the ball down the lane "granny" style You can play as many games as you like, but you can only post one score with the weekly password. The commissioner said that you can post a score before Thursday morning, but that's a bit ambiguous. That depends on your definition of "morning", which for me means before sunrise. But to play it safe, it may be best if you can post a score before midnight tonight, as pimpmaul has suggested. Hopefully after a few games your skills will start to return. It is like riding a bike, they say. I thought there is to be an award for most improved, and maybe you'll qualify for that depending on what you post tonight and improve in the preceding weeks. Good luck! Edited January 21, 2016 by fdr4prez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+fdr4prez Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Oh, yeah, the commissioner lives in TN, or somewhere in the EST time zone, so you may only have until 9PM tonight since I believe you are in the PST area.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Don't forget in the movie Kingpin Ishmael bowled 15 frames and proudly stated. "Like I told you, we Amish do everything half again as hard as you do, 10 frames that's for quakers!" It's possible to bowl a 400 in 15 frames!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nurmix Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I heard the winners of league will be mentioned on The Intellivisianaries podcast Well, at the very least I can make fun of Rick's scores (if he doesn't improve)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nurmix Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Alright.. Played about 20 or so games. Got back in the groove, and remembered my basic childhood techniques (or at least came close to replicating them). Here's the best I could do for now... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Woooohooooo!!!! Helluva score, pal... And welcome to the league. I forgot to ask an outside party to post a password, as things have been hectic. I'll post one more and then I will turn.it over to someone else. I will add this to the top of the thread... Week #2's password: "This is what happens, Larry" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Well, a 2 pin improvement to 216. Sorry again about the wide screen not showing the last digit. It's the game screen setting on my emulator and I need to figure out how to adjust it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find a format that works permanently for you or you may not. But at least there is another format that will actually show the score.

maibock Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 With Snowmaggedon bearing down on the NorthEast, I'm stocked with a case of Victory variety pack and a bottle of Johnnie Walker - think I have the makings here of a decent score this week 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intellfan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I guess I will put my score in early this week. Got a little nerve racking at the end of the game On the last frame i had to slap the side of my TV 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a little nerve racking at the end of the game On the last frame i had to slap the side of my TV Hmm, that is the wrong password. I say it is not a valid entry The password uses a comma and not a period But it looks like the commissioner has already approved it. And he says that he slapped the side of the TV, so he was causing an earthquake to get more pins to fall Congrats, Intellfan! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was hoping to bowl the first 300, but I am so glad you are on the same team! Great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a little nerve racking at the end of the game On the last frame i had to slap the side of my TV I think we all knew it was coming, but wow, freaking wow. I would have been stressing out after the first five or six frames. I can't imagine the tenth. I think this puts you in a very strong position for the Dude Award. I never thought about two people tying for the best score of the season. We'll see. Congrats. Edited January 23, 2016 by Sir Jay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
