WBL Round 1: the results
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!
Oh dear! After all that smack talk Clemengers whupped us! Oh well, rest assured that if I had been there it would have been worse. Much worse.
I think we have some photos. I'll check with some xero-er's
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...
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...
