Okie dokies, folks!
Here's an update of the team standings after 8 weeks. There is
going to be a week lull period thanks (or no thanks, rather) to
Vesak Day, and hostilites with the other teams can only resume on 9
Jun as a result. So I thought this would be a good time to check
out our progress.
TEAM
STATS
Team points: 86.5 (about 10.8 pts won per session)
Highest points won: 17.5 (Wk 4 vs LCS Novena)
Lowest points won: 6 (Wk 3 vs Infinity)
We're above passing mark, which is a good sign. We haven't gotten
exactly as much points as we would have liked against the "weaker"
teams, but I believe it's been cancelled out by the fact that we
managed to hold our own against the big boys as well, without
getting blown out.
Current league position: 7th
X-Treme Ace is on 8th with 81 pts, just 5.5 pts in arrears, and
Simple is on 6th with 92 pts, also just 5.5 pts ahead. That can
easily change with a very good or poor result, but our target of
finishing in the top 6 after the first leg is definitely not out of
reach.
Team total (scr): 16599 (avg 172.9 per game
overall)
This is a solid improvement over recent leagues. We are above 170
on average every game, which hasn't really happened in other
leagues we have participated in. Keep up the good work, and 175
really isn't impossible either.
Highest team game (Scr): 586
(Wk 2 - Michelle, Mage, David /
Wk 8 - Jae, David, Joo Hian)
Highest team total (Scr): 2175
(Wk 7 - WX, Jae,
Hayden)
I like the fact that we are still setting highs as we go along,
which goes to show that we improve with each passing week.
INDIVIDUAL
STATS
Current averages (Handicap) (Sessions
Bowled)
Joo Hian: 189.4 (0) - 2 sessions
David: 186.8 (2) - 3 sessions
Kevin: 183.0 (3) - 2 sessions
Hayden: 171.0 (9) - 3 sessions
Michelle (F): 167.8 (15) - 1 session
Steven: 166.7 (2) - 3 sessions
Weixiang: 166.4 (12) - 4 sessions
Jae (C): 165.8 (12) - 5 sessions
Ignatius: 163.5 (13) - 1 session
High series: 797 (Joo Hian), 779 (David), 743 (Kevin)
High game: 234 (David), 230 (Joo Hian), 227 (Kevin)
I must say that the addition of Joo really made up for the lack of
anchor material in the squad. His consistency on the lanes cannot
be overstated, because it provides a security base for the other
bowlers to perform.
The team has generally gelled well together despite the presence of
a couple new faces and also a new style or 2 (eh Hayden?) ...
Looking forward to the next session, YEE HAA!
Expect the next update after session 11 or 12...
