Well bowlers, week 1 is in the books and we are off and running.

 
First off a few housekeeping items:
 
Yes, handicaps are in effect this year.  As a reminder, they are supposed to level the playing field between bowlers of different skill levels.  No, I still haven't taken the time to figure out how they are calculated.
 
 Also, since we are taking Thursday the 31st off for Halloween, the league's annual Halloween night will be moved up a week.  So, make sure you spend a few brain cells getting your costume ideas together.  As always this includes any subs you may have bowling for you that evening.  If you are new to the league, you can check previous posts on the website for past Halloween nights.  The short of it is that your team including subs is required to dress in costume.  You are also required to bowl in that costume.  The penalty for non compliance is no free beer that evening for your entire team.
 
Finally a reminder that you alternate lanes during your games.  That means that you will bowl one turn on the left hand lane and switch over to the right hand lane for your next turn.  If your team has fallen off the pace it is possible for a team to have bowlers on both lanes at any one time. 
 
In actual bowling news the high scores for the men were: Bill Baldry, Tyler Haener and TJ Oelker all bowled a 183.  Those are pretty lofty scores for members of this league and I know that Westy's doesn't allow anybody over 12 to use the bumpers, so the only thing I can think of is that these three hired this guy to take care of any "extra" pins:
 
On the ladies side Heidi Trebesch rolled a 148.  I had heard rumors that Heidi had been spending a lot of time at the alley this offseason.  Actually the rumor was Heidi went crazy and chose the alley to hand out in so that she'd blend in.  Either way it appears that she at least had enough of her wits to roll a few games.
 
Captains, make sure your rosters are full.
 
See everybody Thursday.
