OT-Looking for Bowling Captains

I have four team captains...these are the people who have said they know how to keep score. Below are the directions on how to keep score in duckpin bowling. Anyone want to volunteer?? I need three or four more people. Thanks Joanie HOW TO PLAY THE GAME The rules of duckpin bowling are easy to learn, and once you become acquainted with the basic rules of play, you will be ready to roll in no time at all. A regulation game consists of 10 frames, or boxes. A bowler is allowed up to three balls per frame to knock down as many pins as possible If all ten pins are knocked down by the first ball in any frame, it is called a 'Strike' and is usually symbolised on the score sheet with an X. A Strike counts as 10 plus the total of the pins knocked down with the next two balls that are rolled. Strike Symbol (counts 10 + next two balls) If all ten pins are knocked down with the first two balls in any frame, it is called a 'Spare', and is usually symbolised with a diagonal line on the score sheet. A spare counts as 10 plus the total of the pins knocked down on the next ball rolled. Spare Symbol (counts 10 + next ball) If the bowler fails to get a strike or a spare, he/she rolls the third ball to get the remaining pins and the total pins knocked down on three balls becomes the score for that frame. Score is kept in an accumulated manner, left to right, through the 10 frames, with a perfect game being 300. Information is from the brochure of the Duckpin Bowling Proprietors of America. A Perfect game has NEVER been bowled in the history of Duckpin.

My husband is familiar w/ the scoring and has explained it all to me. Either of us would be happy to be a captain if you still need any. Just let me know! Thanks, Carmen

Thanks Carmen! We may need both of you--if we put you on in the alleys next to one another...would that be ok? I am getting nervous..on how to collect the money..and pay the bowling alley...and get everything organized. I am going through Tammy...I may need to call the place myself. Maybe we SHOULD meet at 4pm instead? Joanie

Hi Joanie, Don't get nervous, everything will work out. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you (other than keeping score). You have done a great job so far and I know I am not alone in appreciating your effort. Sandy
