Achievement Award Q&A
(Originally posted on the News page back on Week 8. Now on this dedicated page for your reference.)
Q: Someone asked me if there was a patch for getting a 7-10 split.
A: The answer is YES, there is such a patch! And there's also a patch for the "Big 4" split: the 4-6-7-10. These split pins aren't something that shows up on a score reprint sheet, and would therefore need a 'witness' to verify it. If you're facing down a 7-10 or the Big 4 and you're feelin' lucky, call over a league officer before you throw your second ball to watch your shot.Q: I've rolled a 200 game! Do I get my patch?
A: That depends. If your average is 160 or less and you've rolled a 200 game, then you'll get a patch. Except, pins and patches for each achievement are awarded only once per season to a bowler.For each of the high score awards, there is a cap on your average to actually get the award. You can see these maximums on the Awards page at bowl.com. Actually, it's on the award application form. Go to http://www.bowl.com/awards/AdultAwards.aspx and click on "Special Achievement" in the Award Applications box at the top of the page. For your reference, I'm including the info here:
