No never
A 300 game counts anytime you bowl it. However if it is not santioned you dont get all the perks and recognition. I know bowlers that average 150 that have bowled a 300 and bowlers with 200+ average that have not.
Many would certainly consider Earl Anthony as one of the best bowlers of all time.
No, there is no patron saint of billiards.
ya... just all be in the same lane, if you rented 2 lanes then have three in 1 lane and two in the 2nd lane!!
Add all 4 scores together. Then divide by 4 (the number of bowlers) the number will be their average score.
Sure! Here's a short bowling poem for you: With ball in hand and aim in sight, I roll it down with all my might. Strike or spare, it's all a game, Bowling is where I find my aim.
Averaging all types of bowlers and leagues, a good guess is 150-160 for men bowlers and 130-140 for women. That would really depend on what you are comparing. For instance, the above answer might be good for your local mixed league or just general open play bowling. However if your were in a more competitive league either mixed, or same sex, the average scores would be much higher. The age/experience of the bowlers in question would also affect the outcome.
There isn't any collection point of statistics for all leagues to obtain an answer. Based on the level of the sport over this past decade as well as equipment improvements, you would probably see around a 5% of league bowlers averaging 200 or higher.
136.25
There is a "yearbook" put out each year. This will contain the averages of all the sanctioned bowlers in your locale. If you do not have access to one, ask your league secretary or the front desk clerk for one. They should have one.
Well it would all depend on how serious this person was about bowling. There are no strict guide lines on how many times a bowler should practice a week to my knowledge and I think it is up to the bowler themselves.
Synthetic bowling lanes are made of compressed paper with a "lane" look inlay over the top that is then sealed. This provides a more consistent shot than traditional "wood" lanes. However a lot of traditionalist bowlers feel that bowling on "wood" lanes is the true showmanship of a bowler. The ability to change with the conditions, since each lane can very greatly from one to the other.
