[bluey]

Wayne, where do you get all your info? Is it online somewhere or have you just lived it?

 

[wchester]

Most of the bowling information is in my head..either from living thru it (PBA Tour experiences) or buried in my memory bank from reading lots of bowling publications over the past 40 years.
This question however, is from an Opening Programme which I purchased off ebay a couple of years ago.

 

[GoTheCell]

Computer scoring?

Probably stupid being that far back but so was the "false" answer I used.
