Olivia and I are bowling in a sport league at Diablo Valley Bowl on Monday nights. Our league, Sport Condition Doubles 23, bowls four games per night. The handicap is 80% of 220. We have a two game set against one team, then another two game set against another team. We operate on a ten-point scoring system per set so there is the potential for twenty points each night for the four games. If I grasped the rules sheet correctly, the team earns two points per game won and two points for total pinfall. There are also points for head-to-head individual matchups. Olivia bowls first and if she outscores the first bowler on the other team, we earn a point for each game. The same goes for me as the second bowler. I have to outscore the second bowler on the other team to earn a point.
Membership in a sport league sanctioned by the USBC (as ours is) requires a sport league membership which costs $35.00. Since we already possess the regular $20.00 USBC memberships, it cost us only $15.00 to upgrade. Our regular league averages don't apply in sport bowling. There is an average conversion chart for bowlers with a book average who don't possess a sport bowling average. My 183 book average translates to a 168 sport bowling average. Olivia's 136 average translates to a 132 sport bowling average.
The competition is going to be tough. We'll be bowling against Ray and Gaylah Spackman, Ron Watson (Ray's assistant at the pro shop), Treico Holland (whose name appears all over local tournament leader boards), Garrett Richardson (the pro at Pinole), Sasha Gray (the talented young lefty who works at DVB), and several bowlers from the Al Louie Showcase League.
As you can see from the stats below, Olivia is averaging 148.5 after two weeks. That's much higher than her 136 average on THS. She's making it look easy. I averaged only 152.5 the first week, though I bumped it up to 161.8 in the second. So far, it's been anything but easy for me. I felt like I was doing really well Monday night but I didn't break 200 in any of the four games. As a team, we went 8-12 the first week but bounced back to score 13-7 the second week. Our record is 21-19 after two weeks. Not bad for a couple of first-timers. (Click on the Sport Doubles 23 tab above to see our league stat sheets.)
