The first night of the second half of the season is off to an inauspicious start by our Predictions engine, which completely botched its forecast for tonight. Pretty much the only thing it got right was that JoAnne Barber would picked up this week's high game (141) and series (405) for the woman. As for the men, Dennis Walling snagged this week's high game with a 234, and high series was earned by Curtis Whiles with a definitely-not-predicted 600. Read on for all the rest of the details!

Our record-breaking perfect attendance streak has ended, thanks to everyone in the league whose name hapend to be Michael. But another perfect streak remains unbroken, more on that in a moment. Meanwhile, by now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Fall 2020 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. As usual JoAnne Barber picked up this week's high game (125) and series (350) for the woman, while Matthew Taylor earned this week's high game (243) and series (663) for the men.

Sure, it helps that we're down to a core set of bowlers so dedicated to bowling that they are risking their very lives to play, but for the first time in recorded league history we have now had perfect attendance two weeks in a row. In our second week JoAnne Barber once again picked up this week's high game (148) and series (356) for the woman, while Matthew Taylor earned this week's high game (257) and series (608) for the men.

Tuesdays Are 37.5% Normal Again

With the bowling alley resuming regular hours this week, the Fall 2020 Mini Season is finally underway. Four teams have entered the 8-week competition for the coveted, nonexistent championship trophy, as well as the equally-nonexistent cash awards since we have decided to forgo those for such a small group.

Spring 2020 Coronalicious Recap
On May - 4 - 2020ADD COMMENTS
Well, the first season of our second 20 years sure was not what anyone expected. Though we began this season right as the very first coronavirus quarantine went into place (in Wuhan), there were some other things that happened during our bowling season you probably forgot all about. Such as (in no particular order): League legend Pat Searcy passed after a 2-year battle with cancer. Donald Trump's impeachment trial. Wildfires in Australian. Mass anti-US protests in Iraq. Kobe Bryant died. Brexit. The brink of war with Iran. The Chiefs won the Superbowl. We had a parade.
Spring 2020 Officially Canceled at the “Midpoint”
On April - 21 - 2020ADD COMMENTS
We're sure this comes as no surprise to anyone, but since the extension of the local stay-at-home order means we'd have to roll until at least mid-July to finish the season — and that's assuming bowling alleys are even in the first wave of businesses able to re-open (unlikely) — we are just going to go ahead and call the rest of this season off. At least we are making a clean break at the "midpoint" of the season so everybody got to bowl against each other once.
Bowling Paused at Least Two Three Weeks Until Who The Hell Knows
On March - 16 - 2020ADD COMMENTS
3/23 UPDATE: Now that we are on full-on lockdown until April 24, the absolute earliest bowling might resume is April 28. And even that is completely up in the air as the situation changes every day. We're going to wait until AMF contacts us to discuss options before making any further updates.

The mid-season position round is over, so we're now officially halfway done. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (199) and series (478) for the women, while Demonic Duncan Ferber earned this week's high game (249) and series (666) for the men. While first and last place remained unchanged, there was some light mixing throughout all the other positions. Of particular note, F. C. K. D. has pulled themselves out of the bottom half and finally achieved a winning record.
Repo Men
On March - 3 - 2020ADD COMMENTS
So far this season, Scootylicious was the first team to take possession of First Place, and maintained its care for three weeks. Then last week they sold it to Pin Is King 3. But the King's coffers were empty and this week they defaulted on the loan, prompting the Bank of KLEAN BAWLZ!!1 to call in the loan and repossess the title.

The sixth week of Spring 2020 saw quite a bit of activity in the standings, as 7 of the 8 teams ended the night in a new position. And after a few weeks of Scootylicious domination, the two most likely contenders for the championship have finally floated to the top. One bowler rolled a new personal best game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (190) and series (512) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (257) and series (677) for the men.

The fifth week of Spring 2020 should have seen a new first place leader emerge, but that failed to happen. However just one other team did manage quite a climb in the standings.

Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 279, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 634. Read on for all the rest of the details!

Triple Threat
On January - 28 - 2020ADD COMMENTS
There's really nothing special about having a multi-team tie for 1st place in the second week of the season, I just couldn't think of any particular fitting title for this week. And because describing this type of tie using normal lingo (a number followed by the word "way") attracts PornBots, we'll just refer to it as a First Place Trifecta. The elements going into this scenario include Carolina Mach (again) picking up this week's high game (147) and series (389) for the women, Ben Spencer snagging this week's high game for the men with a new personal best 240, and Aaron Barber landing high series with a 603.

We are very saddened to report the passing of one of our founding members and a true legend of our league, Patrick Searcy. He left our world from the comfort of his home, with his wife Shelly at his side, after a two-year battle with cancer.
Carolina’s Roller Coaster
On January - 21 - 2020ADD COMMENTS
The Spring 2020 season is now underway, with eight teams entering the 16-week competition for the coveted, nonexistent championship trophy*. One bowler set a new personal best series. Carolina Mach had a roller coaster of a night, picking up this week's high game (215) and series (416) for the women before setting a new record for plunging. Her 215 knocks Kathy Smith out of the 5th place for women's high game scratch, after holding a position in the top 5 for nearly 20 years. More on that below. Meanwhile Seth Gunderson earned this week's high game (254) and series (626) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
