Well, this story gets better as each day passes. I got a response from the rules USBC Rules Committee that states that although they would prefer all lanes in a single session be dressed similarly, it is not required; and it is not a rules violation if it happens. Therefore, they hold that the differing lanes conditions are not grounds to void matches and re-bowl. I informed the league officers and the local association of my findings, and I told them I was prepared to file an appeal with USBC if the league did not reconsider the ruling. Needless to say, I filed the appeal this afternoon. So here's the really f-up part. Tonight, a number of teams, including mine, were scheduled to re-bowl MATCHES. A MATCH is a team vs team on the same pair of lanes. Two teams re-bowled their "match" on two separate pairs of lanes - at the same time. And...wait for it...a member of one of the teams is the League President. Unfortunately, the ever present pessimist in me believes that the USBC will probably bounce my appeal back to the league to decide since everyone has now re-bowled. If they do, I'll just drop it despite the fact that there now exist actual grounds for protesting as teams bowled unopposed when they could/should have bowled together. Of course, I pissed-off my opponents when I warned them about fixing an erroneous score w/o checking with me first (also a protest-able offense...) Incidentally, I sucked the big one again and didn't even shoot 500. I've been pretty solid the last couple of weeks with some decent 600 series, but tonight I just couldn't focus and keep up with the shot changes. We split 2-2 tonight, so I'm hoping that the re-bowl is declared null and void to get our point back. Can hardly wait for the shit-storm if that happens.

Went and bought a RotoGrip Totally Defiant today and I love it! Ball has great angle entry. Was standing on 30 throwing to 4, and it was coming back hard with no issue in heavy oil. Shot 622. Still not average, but a hell of a lot closer! Lol!

I have been a heavy bowler for years until I came down here to Texas, now I'm just a sub Used to be on 3 leagues a week. Wednesday, Friday nights and Sunday mornings. Always kept around a 210 average. As far as my equipment, I used to stick with all Storm products until I started throwing DV8 stuff. My go-to balls right now are the Brutal Nightmare and just picked up the Endless Nightmare. that ball is sick. I throw high-rev skid-flip ish. usually around 18mph or so. I am forever plagued as I do not have a 300 yet. I have everything you can get in the 290s multiple times.... Lovely 10pins and whatever else.

I'm using a reasonably worn out XXX Factor most of the time right now. I bought a friend's Hammer Hot Sauce a early last year, but the damn thing hooks too early, and I usually have to bag it before the first game is over. The XXX doesn't have the back-end pop anymore, but it revs up easily for me as I don't put a lot of hand in it. When that's too much for the condition I drop to an Ebonite Bash. The most potent combination I ever had was an Ebonite Total NV and a V2 Dry. I cashed in a bunch of brackets at the USBC Open with them. The V2 cover split when I shipped it to Vegas, and the Total NV just flat out stopped carrying at my regular house. I should tell you that I only bowl once a week now and have stopped tournament bowling, so I'll probably never see a 200+ avg again. I only achieved that once anyway. I had to take a year off recently when I was unemployed, and I can't seem to get my game together consistently. I'm very streaky...

Sometimes whiners don't get their way...

"In order to declare games null and void there must be a rule infraction. Dressing lanes differently is not preferred, but is not a rule infraction." They reversed the decision of my league's BOD to void the ten matches and re-bowl. So the original match results stand and the re-bowled matches are null and void. The system works. In this case, trumps .

643 for me tonight. Three, count'em three, ringing 8-pins. Absolutely drilled the hole and the 8 was never touched. Oh well - we won all our points and I made a few bucks in pot games. A good night overall...

Shot 212, 288, 255 for a 755 series. New personal best for game and series. But we only took 3 points. The other team had a 760 and 750 on their team.
