You automatically get the points? Every league I have bowled in required the team that shows up to beat a minimum score, usually the sum of each bowlers average less ten pins per person, in order to earn the points being forfeited by the no shows.

If we have a bye we have to be within 50 pins of our team average but pretty sure when the other team doesn't show up we automatically get the points. Either way we bowled good enough to get all points anyway. I had a teammate text me at 6:15 last night (we start at 6:30) and told me he wasn't gonna make it and was quitting the team. There was a guy there looking for a team so we grabbed him. Game 1 we were 50 over our average, game 2 we were 90 over and game 3 we were 30 under.
The rules are in my bag but they are at the center so can't look it up to verify it but pretty sure we automatically get them.

Finally may have figured something out. But tonight my spare game struggled but I at least strung strikes together. Until tonight hadn't even had a turkey after 6 games. Tonight I think I had a 4 bagger and a 5 bagger. Started tonight with the Zen Soul up the 9-ish board. Switched to the Pi. Finally switched to the Xponent about 6th frame and moved out to the 6-7 board. First frame with it stayed behind the ball and it rolled out so started coming around the ball a little and that did it.
First game we were right at our team average but the other team was 130 over their average. Game 2 we were 30 over but the other team was 50 over their average. game 3 we were 130 over our average and they were right at their average.

If we could string strikes and make our spares we’d be tempted to go on the PBA tour.

Judging by how few 7s you left it looks like your strike ball was doing the right thing.👍

yeah i don't usually leave too many 7's but yeah...i had been staying behind the ball but started coming around a little and it started driving through after that

Great carry! From the 10th of the first game and 4th frame of the 3rd game...you either knocked down 10 or 9. And good spare conversion to boot!

Well done!

Yeah didn't notice that. And we were on a pair that I'm not great on.
