Our first 20 years are now behind us. Including subs but excluding blinds and vacancies, to-date 419 individuals on 330 (usually) different teams have rolled 51,181 individual games. This season, 31 humans, 5 human subs, and one invisible scary ghost had the honor of participating in our 40th season.
See You Next Tuesday! - Fall 2019 Champs
- With a cumulative final average of 156.2457, this was our 10th-best season ever.
- While we may have only had 175 200+ games this season (14th best), that's only 3 fewer 200+ games than last Spring when we had four more teams than we do now.
- Ian Goetz's 287 in week 6 is the new 4th highest scratch game in league history. Out of 51,181 actual games rolled to-date in the league, Ian is the first person to have a game with this particular score.
- Scott Murdock has moved ahead of Dennis "Pops" Laube to be the person who has rolled more games in this league than any other person. Across 37 seasons he has bowled 1,611 recorded games plus an estimated 60 from before online recordkeeping began.
- In the 3rd game of week 5, Ian Goetz became the 4th person to reach 200 career 200+ games. He now sits at 215.
- In week 15, Aaron Barber became the 7th person to reach 50 career 600+ series.
- After a 706 in week 6, Carl Goetz is just 1 away from being the first bowler to reach double-digit 700+ series. Can he pull it off next season?
- When Aaron Barber failed to pre-bowl before his honeymoon, AJ Hofmann moved into the #1 spot for longest current attendance streak. He hasn't missed a game since week 5 of Spring 2017.
