WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

Yesterday was the last day of our summer bowling league, and it was a position round.  That means the team in first place bowls the second place team, number 3 bowls number 4 and so on.

We went into the day in second place, 8 points behind the first place team.  We use an 8 point scoring system - 2 points for each game won and 2 points for total pins.  So we had to win all 8 points - all the games - to tie for first.

We came to win.  We had Ninja headbands and little voodoo dolls.  We won the first game by a small margin.  Game two went to us by over a hundred pins.  We were on a roll - the other team was falling apart.  We came out roaring in the third game, and took that one by almost a hundred pins.  Tied for first!

The league rules calls for a 3 game roll-off if there is a tie.  But we were all pretty tired by this point, so we agreed to a 1 game roll-off, winner of that game to take the championship.

Oh yes, we did it!  By a hundred pins again.  In fact, that last game was our team's best game this season.  Our lowest score was a 175.  We really had fun this week.  We knew we had to win all the games and we never let up.

The difference in prize money between first and second place is only $1 per bowler, but we wanted the bragging rights.  So I'm bragging!!
