The bar has been set.
Next year, the criteria to play in the A-division, is a 180 average (for guys).
Not kidding. Pencil-hair (aka aloysius) said it. You can start cursing now.
But is a 180 really hard to get? As our master of sparing (Jun Yan!) has shown, closing frames isnt hard. A game with no open frames will almost definitely be >180. unless really damn suey >_<.
So it really boils down to how you bowl, related to the eq,
No. of pinfalls = [(T)(E)(Z)(L)] / (t) ,where
T = amount of time spent bowling,
E = how efficient are you at learning from your errors
Z = your level of bowling zainess
L = Luckiness
t = time
as yuxuan puts it, t, Z and L cant be changed.
So what you can do is change your T and E. But E is also hard to change because you need someone who can spot your mistakes.
So T is the main thing that you can change. But how much of it has everyone put into bowling outside of training (Wed & Fri)? Frankly, 4hrs are not enough. From Wed to Fri, yes you will improve, but over the span of Sat to Tues w/o self-training, your skill level will drop like a demand curve.
So first, ask yourself this question, how do you prioritize bowling in your life? If its one of the highest, then please put in more effortttt. Because srsly, our standard right now sux.
No time is not an excuse. If you no time, make time.
No money isnt either. Dun care, you better lie, cheat or steal.
The ball is not heavy. It is as light as a 14-pound feather.
After promos, maybe we can have a new unofficial training day? And really, please self-train whenever you can!! Must not disappoint our seniors!
