WBL Round 1: the results

by Joanna on April 25, 2007 in Events, Sport, Wellingtonista

So we met, we bowled, great epic battles were fought, and drinking was the winner on the day. And also Xero. Here’s the league points so far.

Played Won Drawn Drink bonus Points Bonus Total
Bowlingtonista 1 0 0 1 0 1
Bowltron 1 1 0 1 0 5
Clemenger 1 1 0 1 0 5
Clicksuite 1 0 0 1 0 1
Silverstripe 1 0 0 1 0 1
Xero 1 1 0 1 1 6

Team bowling scores are after the jump.

Bowlingtonista vs Clemenger Spider Monkeys: 414 to 448
ClickSuite vs Xero: 386 to 457
Bowltron vs Silverstripe: 407 to 388

And some trivia:

  • No one bought us drinks, thereby destroying the whole point of the league and pretty much the whole reason for the existence of the Wellingtonista (getting free drinks).
  • The Bowlingtonista printed their shirts themselves. Clemenger did not, but still looked very styley.
  • Xero were spottable by one clever fellow wearing a company shirt.
  • Someone on the Silverstripe team used to do the job that I do now.
  • Clicksuite had both the highest and lowest scoring individual players – but this is about teams, not individuals. There is no ‘I’ in Wellngtonsta Bowlng League.

Thanks for coming, I hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as I did, and see you all next week!

Did anyone take any photos? There must be pics! I refuse to believe that people so embedded in the blogsosphere and flickr didn’t have their cameras with them…

I don’t remember seeing any cameras floating round.. My gadget-dar would have honed in followed by all sorts of really geeky questioning.

props/kudos/level up/big ups to everyone who helped make it happen. It was a beautiful thing.

And to one poor lass who I left feeling so frustrated that she actually looked like she was going to dig her own eyeballs out with spoons – sorry! I promise when we bowl, I will never attempt conversation with you again. I hope you did not find any spoons in the near vicinity.

Although people really should know better than to engage someone in conversation whose nickname is derived from a speed of internet connection…

I loved the spontaneous outbreaks of inter-team high-fives.
