Me & my friends played two rounds today (five-pin, we don't have ten-pin here).
on the first round, I started off horribly (only 7 points in two... ends? I forget the term). they were rocketing ahead, and it seemed like there was no way I was going to catch them.
I only had like, 50 points by the end of the 7th end.
but then I came back, and got 65 points to come second-last with 105 with a late surge that netted me a strike and a spare, followed by a 5 on my extra throw.
but it was the second round that got to me.
somehow, my success at the end of the previous round didn't translate at all. I hit two pins (five points) on my first throw...
and hit absolutely nothing for the next two ends. :|
six straight balls went into the left gutter, and I couldn't control it, no matter what I did. :|
so my fourth end, I turned around, and said
"okay guys, this time I'm going to hit a pin"
and got a strike.
It was downhill from there.
I finished with a 48 (in ten ends) and the little girl two lanes to the left of us passed my score on her sixth end. :|
and I was throwing 175 just a couple months ago! :|
if you ever need a confidence boost while bowling, call me up. I'll be there for you to pummel on me.
Better than me. I never even gotten to 160... in real life or on the Wii.. haha.
I'm about the same with both...

I was really good that one round (got like, 3 strikes in a row o_O) but i usually get low 100s...
I was at 42 on my last attempt, and I hit two pins on the left, giving me 5 points. my two friends just grinned, and were like
"he's not gonna make it!" and we all laughed :P
it took me like, 5 minutes to throw those last two shots.
and i missed both >_<
The proper term is 'frames'.
Also, :| :| :| :| i suk @ bowling :| :| :| :|
I think my high score is a 150 or 200.
I rawk.
They have 5-pin bowling alleys?
How hard is it to put down 5 more pins....

I'm that bad. :-\
middle pin is 5 points, ones beside it are 3, ones beside those are 2.
No you're not :|
I went to a youth activity, I chose a ball that was a bit too small for me. My thumb snagged for a second in the thumb-hole, it came off my hand wrong and went into the people next to us' lane. My friends never let me forget it. :|
i suck at bowling too :(
I have a high score of 38 :3
OMG! Someone worse than me!!
And I thought I was terrible!!
I feel so much better now. <3
High score at 10-pin is 190. Yes, in real life. >_>
I dunno how your "5-pin" works. :B
