Do i really need to answer that? Of course they were all right handers .. lolWoza said:All of them Right Handers by any chance
Lowest score in 2003 in Colac by a leftie was 126.
(I will let a few more people guess the low series before i tell you if your predicted range is low / high or spot on)

Lowest women's games i have records for
77 - 1981 (Latrobe valley)
81 - 2002 (Sale & District)
86 - 1997 (Warrnambool)
for the men
80 - 2003 (Ballarat & Bairnsdale)
87 - 1990 (Sale)
91 - 2003 (Sale & District)
Some of those scores are hard to believe - esp from one of the best seven bowlers in an association.
Anyone interested in low series results?

I have an individuall low game win for you,from your hometown Gatsby when we were there last
Greame Arnold 123 (I think but I'm sure it was in the 120's)and won, the team voted he sit out the next one but because he was a playing Manager he said he should stay in and I quote....
"Its not the score that counts but I won the point so I am Staying In"
He went on to lose his next game with a 130 something
And why do you guys keep bringing up the 5,7,10 its driving me to :drinking: :drinking: :drinking:

Dare I say it!!
But I did win a game on a 124 at Morwell and then lost on a 185 the next round when I played the same person!!
Shhh don't tell anyone!! But I did get dropped after my 124 as I should even though I did win.

Cant argue here points win tournaments pinfall count for didly squat.craig said:well kev he is right
the point is gold, i'd rather win with a 199 then lose with a 299
me in my acute ways will say this
the all stars team should be made up of the top 5 highest point winners
lol, then see how many people will be refusing to bowl at positions 2, 3 and 4
Even on the event of a tie for 1st it is still a 1 game playoff
Positions 2,3,4 easy - I dont necessarily agree with that. There are no easy games in CCUp.
Looking at your highest percentage winners over the years from Garys list and out of the top 10 greater than 60% of those bowlers bowl either 1 or 5 a majority of the time.
That is a fair percentage considering that 2,3 & 4 are the "easier" psoitions and based on your assumptions you would have thought that they would fill the top 20 positions.

I have very limited results of head to head matches. Whilst i have all scores from some years i don't have who they bowled against etc. I have a total of 1445 games for Men and 1386 games for women. These are mostly from 1981, 1989 and Warrnambool and Colac scoresheets.
The lowest scores i can find that won points are generally against the bye.
Two Warrnambool guys bowled 116 and 127 to win against the bye and in the women i have scores of 104, 108, 110, 111 over the last 3 years against the bye (makes for a good argument for not bowling against byes!)
The lowest head to head i have is 1990 - Mildura. Stephen Wines +(War) 121 bt David McEwan (Ben) 120 (David also had the high Men's game that year with a 248 )
For the women - H Booth (Ben) 107 bt Latrobe Valley 77 in 1981.
As i said - very limited info on this one.
Re winning points with low games etc, (For what it's worth) I actually agree with Kev's argument on this one. Whilst i agree the most important thing is to win your point, you should not be automatically be guaranteed next game if you win with a bad game. It is likely that if you are bowling badly, your next game will also be bad. I bet not too many people get dropped after bowling 230 and losing... so why should someone get a game just because they win with a 120 etc.
On the second point (Craig's point re Allstars team for bowlers with most points). I would ask what purpose does having an All Stars team serve? It seems that we go away to win the trophy as a team - not individual glory. It was set up originally so that the All stars team would be entered in Victorian championships as the "country allstars". A good concept that never really took off as you had bowlers who had not bowled together bought together for championships and some bowled with a passion and some never took it too seriously at all. I wonder how many times bowlers had pulled out with one or two games to go to look after their average? (I am sure it is not very often, but i bet it has happened). In my opinion the Allstar "TEAM" is the one that holds up the trophy at the end of the event. The actual allstars team is really just bragging rights and a way for us to work out who have been the best bowlers over the years. It also gives bowlers in lower teams something extra to strive for when they have no chance of winning.
Look forward to hearing other peoples comments as I am sure not everyone will agree. A question i would ask is -- what would you prefer -- a winning medal -- or an allstars medal.
PS - This is not a push to scrap allstars teams, just an argument that maybe they are an added extra - like winning the high tournament game prize and should not be treated as the be all and end all.
