218 pins and 3 crystal trophies
*** Actually drafted this a while back but never got round to posting it, so this post should actually be dated March 23 2007 ***It was my firm's annual bowling tournament tonight and well I brought back 3 trophies again. Brought back 3 last year too but this year's haul was even sweeter. For starters, I bowled 218 pin game in the 2nd round (we have 3 rounds) which ended up being the highest individual game for a female.
I've never bowled over 200 pins before so I was pretty happy. I bowled 4 strikes in a row and either spared or got a strike on the rest of the frames in the game. Bowled terribly in the 3rd game but the my scores in the 1st and 2nd games more than made up for it. I actually thought I had lost to someone else but they ended up getting 3rd place while I managed to get 1st for the individual female trophy! I must of written down her scores wrong - hope the bowling alley didn't screw up on the calculations lol.
My team also managed to bag the overall team championship all thanks to our second round where we scored 703 pins as a team while the 2nd place team only managed to score 548. As a team we did miserably in the final round but we had built up enough of a point cushion in the 1st and 2nd round so even though we lost to them in the final round by about 100 pins we had a cushion of about 160 pins so we ended up coming first. This is the 3rd year I've been part of this team and this is the second time we've won as a team. We came second last year but it was close fight. One of my teammates also managed to bag 2nd place in the individual male competition (a repeat performance for him) so as a team we did pretty good. All first place winners also got gift certificates from Metro - team and highest individual game got $20 each while I got $40 for the individual female competition - woohoo I've got $80 worth of gift certs, maybe I'll spend it on shoes or some nice luggage for my next firm trip lol.
It was kind of embarrassing cos I did clean sweep, whereas the guy who got the highest individual game male and individual male champion did get manage to get a team trophy. Actually my department (I'm in the litigation department - just call us the "liti" department) did pretty well on a whole - the tournament is an inter-department competition. There were 18 teams competiting in total, 7 of which were from liti. For the team event, liti bagged 1st and 2nd place. For the individual male competition, liti bagged the 2nd and 3rd place and I was the sole representative for the individual female competition.
Here are some pics of my trophies and the tournament...
