Scotch Doubles

M and I met up with a bunch of friends and family for a bowling night of Scotch Doubles.  We had never played before and it was interesting, confusing and fun all at the same time.  Scotch Doubles is when you share a lane with a total of four people and then you play six games.  The girls throw the first ball for games 1, 3 and 5.  The guy throws the second ball to clean up the frame for that game.  If the girl knocks down 9 pins on the first throw, it's considered a strike.  The same rules apply but the girls and boys are switched for games 2, 4 and 6.  You pay $24 a couple and then you can win money for coming in 1st, 2nd or 3rd and then there are two random prize winners and $5 for the team that comes in last.  We were ranked #15 out of 21 couples.  One of the teams in our group won one of the random prizes of $10 and then Greg and Anna won $5 for coming in last place. :)
