WEEK #15 RESULTS

Elm Trio 7 - Kalifornia Roll 0

We ended last week's series with a one-point win and we started this week's series with another one. The second game was another tight one which we pulled out by 15 pins. After two very close contests, we enjoyed a 121-pin blowout in the third to complete our second consecutive 7-point sweep.

The game play was slow because our league's holiday pot luck (a few photos can be seen here) had our bowlers munching much of the evening. Still, we didn't let us affect us much. Entering play tonight, our opponents, Kalifornia Roll (56-42), were in second place, one point out of first. We were in sixth place, six points out of first (51-47). With tonight's sweep, we improved to 58-47 and moved past Kalifornia Roll (56-49).

WEEK #14 RESULTS

Elm Trio 7 - Strike Or Bust 0

After enduring a month-long slump, we bounced back on the strength of Eli's 664 series to earn a sweep of Strike Or Bust (Team 1). Eli's 264 in the first game set the pace and the rest of us did our best to keep up. Only the third game was a tight struggle. Rich Heavingham rolled three strong strikes to finish the final frame for Strike Or Bust but came up one pin short as we held on to complete the sweep by a score of 523-522.

WEEK #13 RESULTS

Swept by the OJ's, 0-7

The OJ's beat us up pretty badly tonight as we were once again on the wrong end of a sweep. After week #9, we were in first place with a record of 40-23. Since then, we've gone 4-24. After week #13, our record stands at 44-47. If we continue at this pace for another month, our record will be 48-71 and we'll likely be sitting in the basement.

The antiquated scoring system at Castro Village Bowl continues to be a source of frustration. I bowl all over the East Bay and at no other place do scoring errors occur so often. Making matters worse, the score keeping system is so difficult to operate, the Castro Village Bowl staff struggles with it to make the required corrections. Hint to Castro Village Bowl - an upgrade is long overdue.
