Another good win for Tony by posting a score of 213 for the evening. Heinz was just able to hold off Keith by a point to take second spot.
For players that have never played this international format, it is played in 2 parts, each part firstly 15 shots into the “Full Frame” followed by another 15 shots into “Clean Up”; the goal is to score an average of 5 pins per Full Frame shot, which should give the player about 75 points in each round into the Full Frame. The target for Clean Up should be to clear the deck with an average of 5 shots, so in each round of 15 shots, the player should try to accumulate 27 points. This would give the player a target of 75 plus 27 = 102 points per round, therefore 204 for the two rounds would be what we call “par”. Sounds easy, but we all know that it is hard to maintain this average.
———————————————————
We will be keeping the format the same as everyone enjoys the challenge. This format has been virtually the same since 2004 with the following games being played:
“Full Frame” – this is played for 9 rounds with every shot into the full frame.
“Clean Up” – a teams game that goes for 9 rounds whereby the team members have to tidy up every frame. Only once the total rack of pins has been cleared, a new set of pins will be placed on to the pin-deck.
“Up & Down” – played over 6 rounds with every player having 2 shots at a time. The aim of the game is to score a large difference with the 2 balls as the lower scoring shot is deducted from the higher one. So, the best score would be a 9 followed by a 1 or vise verso. If any of the two shots end up in the gutter, a zero will be recorded.
“Ladder” – again for 9 rounds with the aim to score as many different numbers as possible. Only a minimum of three connected numbers count as the total in the players score. For example if the player records a 1,3, 5, 6 and 7, only the three connected numbers (5+6+7) count for a total of 18 points. The numbers 1 & 3 are not counted as they are not connected.
“Stina” – only the 3 centre pins are set up, “front”, “Kingpin” and “back-pin”. This is a difficult game as the player can only see one pin. The score for 1 pin is 1 point, 2 pins – 3 points and all 3 pins – the Stina – counts 6 points.
“Pyramid” – This is a game of nerves, as the player has to achieve a total of 35 points within 7 rounds. Each round sets a target which has to be reached with the total pin-fall at this stage. The targets are 2, 5, 9, 14, 20, 27 and finally 35. Any player that fails to reach the target number is eliminated.
We usually play one or two more games at the end of each comp night, and this is only for fun and does not count in the competition.

However, this was short lived as Walter challenged Tony within a few minutes. Tony could have taken the trophy home for a few days but he accepted straight away. The match was exciting to watch as the two players matched shot for shot and it came down to the last ball. Walter emerged as the winner with the smallest of margin 65 to 64 points.

25/11/2010 – Robert was challenged by Melody, but was able to retain the trophy by winning 90 to 43.
1/12/2010 – The next challenge came from Maggie. It was a close match but Maggie ended up taking the trophy by winning 56 to 53 points.
8/12/2010 – The next challenge came from Tony, but he was no match on the day with his 79 points, which most of the time would be good enough to win. Maggie was relentless by posting a new record score with her 112 points, which will stand for some time to come.

30/12/2010 – We have a new holder of the trophy in Tony. This was one of the closest matches and it came down to the last shot. Melody had her chances, but Tony closed in and finally hit the front with the last ball which resulted in a 83 to 80 win for him.
6/01/2011 – The first challenge of the year was from Walter to take it of Tony, but Tony was in devastating form and started wit a “9″ as his first shot. He followed this up with a further clean-up in 2 shots. This took the wind out of Walter and he finally ended up on 49 points, which was no match for Tony’s 119. This represents an all time record for this game and will be very hard to beat.
