While most league playoffs go 3-game total pins (with or without handicap depending on the type of league it is), we found that ours was the "best-2-out-of-3" format. Well, we lost the first game by 9 pins with me shooting a 176 game; took the second by 40 pins and then the third by 11 pins. I threw a 4-bagger in the 8, 9, 10, and 11 frames for a 217 in the second game which took the pressure off the anchor man; then went the back 5 strikes for a 247 in the third game, although it still took a double by our anchor man in the 10th to garner the win. We all did great and when one was down, another was helping, as a team should do working together.
Series-wise our anchor man threw a 266 game and a 701 so he was the high man for the night; however, in his humble way, he kept telling everyone that if it hadn't been for "Choc getting all those strikes and setting up the POSSIBILITY for the wins," he would not have had the chance to shoot for the victory. It was a TEAM championship, and we won as a TEAM.
