TBA Nationals - Adelaide 2018

Another year, another city. Hornsby Rockets are representing at the TBA National Disability Championship in beautiful Adelaide. We arrived on Saturday and "kicked off" the trip with a visit to Stomp which has nothing at all to do with ten-pin bowling, but was a fantastic way to get the energy levels up to where they should be.

We won't get medal results (if any -- it's a tough comp) until the end of the week, but as usual the incomparable StatsMan (aka Natham C) has pulled together some numbers for us.

Sunday:
Singles
Mark 28 Pins over average for the series, including a Four Bagger in 188
Emma M.         17 Pins over average for the series
Karina 16 Pins over average for the series
Adam Turkey in a game of 196

Doubles
Angela 29 Pins over average for the series
Adam 20 Pins over average for the series, including a turkey in a game of 184
Amy         16 Pins over average for the series
Tim         16 Pins over average for the series

Teams
Adam 24 Pins over average for the series including a turkey in a game of 185
Ben         23 Pins over average for the series
Mark         Four Bagger in a game of 173

I've got partial Monday results. Should I share them now, or wait until I get full Monday results?

Okay, okay. Fine. Partial Monday results.

Monday:
Doubles
Tim         29 Pins over average for the series
Mark 28 Pins over average for the series
Karina 23 Pins over average for the series including a turkey in a game of 174 
Candice         19 Pins over average for the series
Warren 16 Pins over average for the series


All hail Natham, Hornsby Rockets StatsMan. More to come. (Plus a couple of posts with pictures.)
