"Wii" Are the All-Stars!!What kind of league would the NSL be if we didn't give our best bowlers a chance to shine in the spotlight?
This past week that is exactly what happened as 41 teams in the league elected to participate in an all-star bowl off. 24 bowlers from teams in the odd conferences participated while 17 bowlers represented the even conferences. The team with the highest average score would be declared the winner.
As the scores came in we noticed that 3 out of 4 bowlers scored over 200. That's amazing when you consider the average score for the league has been 170. In fact 36 bowlers posted scores over the league average and those other 5 were very close to that mark. Then we noticed that 5 individuals missed a perfect game by only 1 strike, talk about an all-star performance.
Even in a game played by the best there is always someone's performance that stands out. Well we had 2 in our inaugural effort. Harlan Skelton of the Village Alley Katz and Joe Riccobene of the SAS Strikers both turned in a perfect game. These masters of the virtual alley also happened to both be members of the Even Squad and helped pilot their team to a 241 - 210 victory over the Odd Squad.
This is the final week of the NSL regular season. The playoff picture is anything but clear for many teams as they fight for 3rd place slots in their conference or one of the 10 at large bids. We will send out notices to all playoff teams on Friday. Until then, "It ain't over until it's over."
Bring Your "A" games people.
