2008-10-02T05:02:00.001+08:00

Week 17 - 28th Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament

Cathay won all their games against MHE. But, unluckily, Lepanto lost a game against Atlas. And, Cathay’s lead widened to a more comfortable level – from 3.227 to 5.556. At this point, the lead's as wide as 4 – 10 or 6 - 7 split.

Six teams bowled high games and earned bonus points:

Philex – 2 points
FAG – 2
BHP – 2
CoMP/MGB – 1
Civic – 1
UPD – 1

Mark Li and Christian Kho scored 231 and 247, respectively, as icings on their cakes as member of the Elite 225 Club.

How smart is your right foot?

2008-09-30T04:55:00.002+08:00

Most bowlers couldn’t control themselves from making extra movements after delivering the ball. Some do it gracefully and some dangerously. Body movement should be confined within the approach or runway of the lane only.

As ordinary people, there are instances that we couldn’t control our movements and emotions. And, there are parts of our body that we couldn't control either while doing something else.

One example is the test emailed by Christian Kho of Cathay:

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

This is hysterical.
You have to try this.
It is absolutely true.
I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds.
I could not believe this!!! It is from an orthopedic surgeon............ This will boggle your mind and will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.

It's pre-programmed in your brain!

Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!!

And there's nothing you can do about it!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

Send it to your friends to frustrate them too.

Schedule of games - Week 17 (September 30, 2008)

Lanes – Teams (Rank)

Lepanto is trailing by 3.227 points; and , there are 3 more weeks to go. Last week, they were able to chop the lead by 1.169 points. Could they do it again this week?

Cathay and Lepanto’s wins over their opponents this week (MHE and Atlas, respectively) could be as easy as falling off a log. The only way Lepanto could pare the lead Cathay is to score more bonus and dividend points as they did last week.

Lepanto slashes Cathay's lead

2008-09-26T18:01:00.003+08:00

Week 16 - 28th Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament

Lepanto got two bonus points; but, Cathay didn’t allow them to come much closer by scoring a bonus point. Thus, only 1.169 points was chopped from the lead. It’s now 3.227 points from 4.396 points. Albeit their bonus points, they both lost one game.

Philex is far third by 18.843 points behind Lepanto.

Philex and Chamber of Mines, the 4th placer, lost one game each too. However, Philex lead over Chamber of Mines increased by 0.053 point only. The gap is now 4.429 points.

Check the official results:

Cathay and Lepanto are neck and neck

2008-09-22T12:16:00.004+08:00

With 4.396 points separating the two leaders and four weeks to go, it's still anyone's call at this point.

Lepanto may have higher Patterson points for winning more games; but, Cathay got the lead with higher bonus and dividend points for higher scoring.

This week, Cathay will face UPD; and its win could be a piece of cake. On the other hand, it could be a toss up between Lepanto and NAMRIA, the 5th placer. At the homestretch, Lepanto needs not only to trounce its opponent but to score higher than 949 per game.

What happened last Tuesday?

2008-09-19T12:45:00.003+08:00

As expected, both Cathay and Lepanto won all their games against their opponents. But, Cathay scored more than Lepanto and increased its lead by 0.114 point. The margin is now 4.396 points. The third placer, Philex, also won three games. Thus, these teams maintained their respective places in the sun.

The formidable Pansun with Lino D. around pulled down FAG from 4th to 6th place and pulled itself up from 11th to 8th place. Pansun scored 998 and 1009 in the last two games, which earned them 3 bonus points. Luckily, Pansun's anchor blew the last frame of the first game and gave it to FAG with 2 pins difference only. Otherwise, FAG were in the 7th place.

Inter-Asia lost 2 games against Civic. The upset put the team down from 6th to 7th place.

Chamber of Mines/MGB won two games with a bonus point and leapt from 7th to 4th place.

The dreaded Splits

2008-09-13T05:48:00.009+08:00

Split is a dreaded situation in bowling. What is split in bowling?

A split is a term in ten pin bowling used to describe a number of situations where two or more pins remain standing after the first ball of a frame with a gap between them, when the headpin (the "number 1 pin") is no longer standing after the first ball's delivery. (Wikipedia)

I’m sure you have made splits in your bowling. It's frustrating if you do; but, it's satisfying if you convert it. Even the world’s best bowlers have experienced splits in their games, albeit, minimal.

But, do you know that most splits have their names? Yes, and here are their names:

7–10 is the most infamous split; and, it is called “Goal Posts”, “Bed Posts”, Fence Posts, “Mule Ears”, or “Snake Eyes”

7–9 or 8–10 is “Cincinnati” or "Strike Split"

5–7 is “Woolworth” or “Kresge”

5–10 is “Dime Store”

5–7–10 is “Sour Apple” or “Lily”

2–7 or 3–10 is “Baby Split” or "Murphy"

2–7–8 or 3–9–10 is “Baby Split with Company”

2–7–10 or 3–7–10 is “Cocked Hat” or "Christmas Tree" or "Faith, Hope, Charity"

4–6–7–10 is “The Big Four”, "Big Ears", "Double Pinochle", or "Golden Gate"

2–3 or 4–5 or 5–6 or 7–8 or 9–10 is “Side-by-Side”

4–6–7–8–10 or 4–6–7–9–10 is "The Greek Church"

3–4–6–7–10 or 2–4–6–7–10 is "The Big Five"

2–4–6–7–8–10 or 3–4–6–7–9–10 is "The Big Six"

"Field goal" is term used when the ball rolled through the middle of a split.

1-2-10, 1-2-4-10, 1-3-7, and 1-3-6-7 are not considered splits because the headpin (1) is still standing. They are called "Wash Out".

Here are some splits in the 28th Chamber of Mines of Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament:

Games on September 16, 2008:
Lane # – Team (Rank)

Cathay's lead over Lepanto is 4.282 points only. Both leaders would face the cellar dwellers on Tuesday. And, inevitably, the leaders would both overpower their respective opponents.

Lepanto needs to play hard to score at least 950 per game and earn bonus points and pray hard that Cathay would score less than 950 per game to make their gap closer.

Cathay & Lepanto maintain lead; Jer is in the club

2008-09-11T15:43:00.007+08:00

Week 14 - 28th Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament

Cathay and Lepanto have proven that they are still the best two teams in the tournament. Both teams crushed their opponents, Pansun and FAG, respectively, and maintained their places. With zero point gained, FAG slipped from 3rd to 4th place. Philex scored 6-2 against Chamber of Mines/MGB and took the 3rd slot.

Jer Cabangon of Pansun Hardware made it to the elite 225 Club by scoring 230 in his second game.

Games on September 9, 2008:

Lane # – Team (Rank)

Train your eyes on lanes 17 and 18, where the second and third placers, Lepanto and FAG, respectively, meet. It could be a hell of a fight. FAG needs to win all the three games and get at least 2 bonus points to seize the 2nd place. But, would Lepanto allow it?

Another match to watch is Cathay vs. Pansun on the next lanes. With Lino D around, beating Pansun isn't a walk in the park.

Lino D snatches 2 records; Siniong joins the club

Week 13 - Chamber of Mines of the Philippines Annual Bowling Tournament

Lino Diamante of Pansun Hardware, after being absent for 4 consecutive weeks, scored 258 in his first game and snatched two records in the process, the High Single – Scratch and the High Single – with Handicap. What had he done in those four weeks? I guess it’s none of our business. Anyway, he now dominates all the five male records. More icings on the cake, his team was the only team that earned a bonus point and grasped the record for the High Team Series (Scratch) as well.

Sisinio Panilag of BHP Biliton joined the Elite 225 Club by scoring 226 in his first game. Also, 225 Club member Bobot Opena scored 225 in his first game too. He now has three games of 225 and over. Lino, with his 258, has four.

Results of the games:

FAG (8) vs. UPD (0)
Benguet (4) vs. Chamber of Mines (4)
