FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #25

ELM Trio: 5 - VACANT: 2

We had the vacant team on our schedule this week. The league rules require that we score better than 45 pins below our average to earn a win against a vacant team. With the sum of our averages being 535, a score of 490 would earn a tie and 491 or better would be needed to earn a win.

We did well enough to win the first two games games but we fell off a cliff in the third and took a loss. It's a good thing the league rules don't provide that we bowl against three vacant bowlers' scores with a handicap or we would have earned only one win and a tie for a 3-4 score. As it was, we won two games plus the point for total pinfall. 

Ordinarily, coming out 5-2 would be satisfactory but when it's against a phantom team and all we had to do is average 164 to earn a win, it has to be considered a flop. Our record improved to 19-30 but we're still way off the pace.
