Of course! They've all read Urban Dictionary! ;D :laugh:
--- Quote ---Allow me to explain:
The bowling is done in three games, two teams playing against each other, three players on each team. Let's say that Team A wins the first match, 450 to 400. Second match, Team A wins again 425 to 400. The third match Team B wins big time, 600 to 400.
Each match is scored with 2 points, and an extra 1 point for 'wood' or most pins knocked down.
Team A had scores of 450, 425 and 400.
Team B had scores of 400, 400 and 600.
Team A won games 1 & 2, and eans 4 points
Team B won game 3. When you total the scores, Team A totaled 1275, while Team B totaled 1400, so Team B "took wood" and gets the extra point.
Final tally is Team A earns 4 points, Team B earns 3.

Ahhhh, now it makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. :-*
Gut Holz!
(now that's a German bowling expression, wishing a player a good game)

Chuck, I had a dream the other night that my cousins wife had a dog with green fur. :laugh:
CellarDweller:
last night was not a bad night for my team, but for me, it was another story!
LOL
I had two games under average, one game I didn't even score 100! :o >:(
My last game was on average, but I was really no help to my team. :(
However, Pete and Frank bowled well, and we won two of the games last night, and took wood, so out of 7 points we earned 5.

Oh well, it can't always be prime time. As long as the team won, it's still a successful evening. :-*

Thanks for that, Chrissi! LOL
