In over 11 years of bowling, Gary Holycross, a Tuesday Nite Go-Getter bowler, had never bowled a 600 or higher series. That was until Tuesday, September 13, when he rolled a spectacular 673 at Lincoln Lanes, with games of 234, 234, and a 205. The bad part was, he bowled our team. Good job Gary. In other Go Getter action, Tara Holler rolled a 203, 87 pins over her 116 average. Bowling 69 pins over their 137 average was Chris Brookins with a 206 game. In the previous week, Jon Castle rolled a 236, which was 81 pins over his 2010/2011 season average. Split pickups for the Go-Getters were Jon Castle 7-9, Gerald Arnett 3-6-7-10, Mac McDaniel 5-7, and both Fred Fultz and Irvin Summers with the 5-10.
In the Tuesday morning Ladies League at the Legion in Westville, Barb Smith converted the 5-7, while Marilyn Ruffner of the DNA Karaoke League picked up the other side, with the 5-10.
In the Senior League’s 9-8 session, Shirley Lamm was 51 pins over her 136 average with a 187, and Bill McDaniel rolled a 203, 68 pins over his 135 average. Split pickups for the Senior League included Karen Beck 4-5-7, Jan Frank and Les Taylor with the 5-10, Harvey Miller, 3-9-10, Stan Harvey 2-10, and Keith Carter with the 3-7-10.
Located at Lincoln Lanes in the annex on Monday nites, is the Church No-Tap League. Have no idea what no tap is. Basically, if you get 9 pins total bowled with the 1st ball in a frame, it counts as a strike. Higher scores are expected in this league. Don’t be surprised if you see quite a number of 300 games from this league during the year. Because of this, the requirements are a bit more stringent for this particular league. This last week, Jeremy Randolph had a 754 series, while JR Scruggs had a 676. Mike Jett was 50 pins over his 180 average with a 230. Split pickups were Robbie Ketcherside with the6-7-10, and Sue Strong with the 5-10. They advise they still need more bowlers/teams. They bowl at 6:30.
I understand there was a 300 game bowled recently at Fast Time Lanes in Hoopeston as well as a possible 7-10 pickup. I need these reports from the league’s secretaries in order to publish. Covington and Hoopeston, we need to hear from you, and let’s not forget about Bulan’s.
Let’s review some rules. For the next few weeks we will review Rule 113 and it’s subparts concerning playoffs and special contests.
Rule 113a Definition:
A playoff is a separate competition conducted to determine league champions and/or break ties in the league standings. Unless league rules allow for co-champions a playoff must be conducted:
1. To determine the champion when a tie exists for first place at the end of the league schedule;
2. To determine a league champion when the league bowls a split season;
3. To determine first place when a tie occurs in any segment of a split season;
4. When the league decides to break a tie for any other position.
Scores bowled which qualify for USBC awards will be recognized.
NOTE: Total pins for the season, segment or team average, cannot break position standing ties at the conclusion of the season, or at the end of any segment of a split season schedule.
Rule 113a/1 If the League rules state no substitutes will be permitted the final 2 weeks of the schedule, can a substitute be used in the playoff?
A playoff is not considered part of the last 2 weeks of the schedule. If substitutes are permitted during the regular season, they would be acceptable as eligible players, unless a league rule specifically state that substitutes are not permitted in the playoffs.
Please submit all reports before midnight on Sundays. If you need any more info, drop me a note at illianabowling@gmail.com.
Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down.
