For Week 4, Bowling Thru Time visits...
SPRING 2018

← See Week 3     Return to GutterAlley     See Week 5 →


Spring 2018 was our 37th season. The Championship Team was WITNESS!!! (44-20), which had a familiar roster of Jonathan Vigliaturo, Nick Kinney, Seth Gunderson, and Aaron Barber. This was the first season for Emily Nicolet and the Hufford clan, and the last for Kody Karnes (9 seasons). It was also the last season for Angela Bradford and Bob Brunker, but both are all but certain to return one day.

In week 4 of that season (February 13, 2018), Monica Hufford picked up high game (168) and series (490) for the women, while Russell Bingham earned high game (265) and series (650) for the men. Dennis Walling rolled the league's third 300 this season, but we care enough about you to not use that week in this game. Among those who made their debut this season, Monica Hufford, Emily Nicolet, and Chuck Kissee each went on to roll 3 seasons before sitting the current season out. This was the last season for Kody Karnes, and while this was also the last time we saw Angela Bradford and Bob Brunker on the lanes, we are hopeful they will both be back.

The top song in the US: "God's Plan" by Drake, while the #1 film in theaters was the delightful family film "Fifty Shades Freed". Events in the news this week: The Parkland, Florida high school shooting, Michael Cohen admits to paying off porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump, and a Kim Jong-un impersonator disrupts North Korea's cheerleading squad at the winter Olympics.

The top 4 individuals in terms of points in each division at the end of the season will win extra cash.


Game Rules

Every week we will feature one of our past bowling seasons, and each team will roll (virtually) against their counterpart's opponent from that past season. Scoring is done with the standard 80% handicap, and the four teams with the best win-loss records at the end of the season will all win extra cash!

But that's not all. Each week you as an individual bowler are rolling against the past-season bowler opposite you in the lineup. Use a 100% handicap when scoring, just like in the Tournament of Champions. Earn points for each victory (or half a point for each tie). Borrowing the Tournament of Champions divisions, the top four points-earners in each division will also win extra cash! But there are a couple of caveats for the one-on-one games:

Game Rules

  1. You don't need to worry about doing anything but bowling. We will be tracking it all for you.


  2. The season that will be featured each week will not be revealed in advance.


  3. The schedule was determined in advance before any current team numbers were assigned.


  4. Changing your bowling order does not change who your past opponent is at the individual level. Whomever is opposite you on the printed sheet each Tuesday is who you face regardless of any changes your team makes to the bowling order.


  5. In the event of any ties, the ties will be broken by an impartial method to be determined by Scott and AJ at the end of the season.


  6. Online tracking and leaderboards will begin in week 4, when the ToC divisions are known. (Until then we will be tracking on paper.)


  7. For the team vs team games, use an 80% handicap. 1 point is earned for each win, 0.5 point for each tie, for a maximum of 4 team points each week.


  8. Subs count towards the results of the team games.


  9. For the individual bowler games, use a 100% handicap against the past opponent. 1 point is earned for each win, 0.5 point for each tie, for a maximum of 4 team points each week. (Exceptions, max of 3 points if either is blind for all 3 games, and minus 1 point if you lose a game against your past self.)


  10. Team prizes will be paid lump sum to each winning team at the awards ceremony, it is up to your team to determine how to divide it up.


  11. Individual prizes will be paid directly to each individual at the award ceremony.


  12. This is a one-time-only game. If we ever play it again, it probably won't be until Fall 2024.
