Have you been in a bowling league where your team finished in first place?

I have never been a bowling league but have tried to bowl a time or two ..I do better online than in person:) I end up sending the ball the wrong direction when I attempt to hit the pins. lOl I dont think a league would want me on their team unless they needed someone to dust or wash clothes..LOL

How exciting for you, I hope you win. I have only been to a bowling alley once in my life. So no, I have never been on a league. Good luck in yours

Congrats to you, I hope you make first place. The team I was on always finished at the bottom or close to it. it was fun though and everyone won money. It was a fun league no one took themselves seriously, even the good bowlers.

In twenty years of bowling, my team has finished first one time. It was in dramatic fashion. We had been battling it out with several teams all year. On the final night, we were in a three-way tie for first place. We were on lanes 1 and 2 and the third team was bowling on 3 and 4 with a lower team. At the end of the night, we had tied and were waiting for the results of the other team. All they had to do was win 6 of 8 points and they were the winners. They finished with only 2 points and so we were left with just two teams in first place. No one could agree on a night to have a roll-off so we had to bowl another three games that night. Our league was a later start so it was already near midnight. At 2 a.m., we ended in another tie after 3 more games. We had to have a tenth frame rolloff. Their final bowler needed a spare and good count to beat us. Instead he threw a 7-10 split and we were champions. On my final ball, my hand cramped so badly, I had to pry it open. But the pain was worth the joy.

Lucky you... congrats! I quite like bowling and bowl decently enough. But I haven't entered in any real competition before. Well, the closest was an informal one at my ex-company's monthly gathering. My team was so-so only and I really hate it when everyone's looking at you when you bowl and tried to encourage you (as if it helps). No, actually I had it more when everyone has to cheer the bowler when he bowls. It's not that there's any ill feeling among us but it is just WEIRD.. we would cheer the bowler with template phrases like "way to go! you can do it!", etc.. and everyone rotates to be the bowler. I just don't like the whole thing.
