Tournament 2

We had another weekend at bowling as another tournament was played this morning. The girls entered into a 7 No Tap tournament. For bowlers who don't know this tournament, I will simply explain the one playing rule:  when a player bowls either a 7, 8 or 9 for the first roll at each frame, it's an automatic strike. It's quite easy for any good bowler to roll a 300 game (the highest game anyone can bowl scratch) in this format. The adults had this casual tournament two weeks ago but I heard the juniors did better with this one then the adults. There were five boys and one girl who bowled the 300 game today.  Only one adult did this 300 game two weeks ago.

The juniors had a four man team and bowled three games.  It was about two hours used to bowl all their games.  Also it was very quick to get the final results as everyone added up the total games to get their series.  It was the top four players each of males and females with high series scratch wins the tournament. All the boys who bowled the 300 game won and the only female with her 300 game came 1st. Guess who that was??  My daughter!! I was so proud of her.  She did wish her 300 game was the real deal.  We showed everyone in my league tonight in hoping to tricking them it was the real game but they were too good for us and knew it was a no tap tournament.

Speaking of my league we bowled very well tonight and managed to win all the points against the number one team.  We have only another month of this season left and we have to keep up with the points to avoid going back down the chart again.  Because there is so many good bowlers in the league this year I am not expecting to take much of any individual placings this year.
