Join us at Beruna Lanes (convienently located in the Beruna Pass Game Center just North of the Beruna Pass Reformatory for Wayward Women. Can't find it? Follow your local she-elf, she'll eventually end up there)

Did I mention bowling? Oh, yes, bowling with prizes from the UO store.

And before you ask, yes, Borganne abides.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Beruna Lanes at the Game House on Thursday 8/25 at 8PM.

A special thank you for Cedric Gunderton for building the Game House and inventing the games. Cedric will be awarding 1,200 soveriegn to the first place bowler and 600 to second place. (of course other prizes may be awared at random because I just can't help myself)

Rules of the game:

A bowler has ten attempts(ten steps on the teleporter) to clear all six pins

Scoring:

Each pin within the game is worth ONE point.

A STRIKE bonus of THREE points is awarded for successfully hitting the head pin on the FIRST attempt.

A SPARE bonus of TWO points is awarded if a bowler knocks down all SIX pins in a game, plus ONE point per attempt they did not need to clear the lane.

(Example) A bowler knocks down 5 pins using all 10 attempts without a strike.

5(pin points)= 5 point game

(Example) A bowler knocks down all 6 pins using 8 of 10 attempts without a strike.

6(pin points)+2(spare bonus)+2(unused attempts)= 10 point game

(Example) A bowler knocks down all 6 pins using 6 of 10 attempts and had a strike. PERFECT GAME!

6(pin points)+3(strike bonus)+2(spare bonus)+4(unused attempts)= 15 point game

So basically four ways to score:
Pin count
Strike bonus - only if head pin is hit on first attempt
Spare bonus - only if all six pins are hit
Unused attempts bonus - only after a spare, if it took less than ten.

Shoe rental available and everyone is welcome to play with our balls.
