Zen Life: These Badass CADMonks Bowled in Championship form

Our CADmonk Bowling Championship yesterday, was a huge success.

It started with our veteran Cadmonk, Jose Gutierrez the “Deal Maker”.

Just as he set up those important company projects, he showed the

Way with a massive STRIKE.

Then getting the queue, Yours Truly "the blogger" followed up with another

Shattering STRIKE.

Not to be left undone, our expert Reviteer Cadmonk, Juan Rodriguez made

a series of volleys himself, silencing the watching crowds with

a "shock and awe" STRIKE from the lanes.

Finally when one of the CAD World’s Guru appeared, Paul Cabigao sealed the

deal like the way he wrap up a 100% CD Deadline with a

250 points of his own.

It was’nt even close, the CHAMPIONSHIP is ours for the taking.

I retreated to my waiting warm and juicy Cheeseburger served by

Ms Hilton herself (her picture not included to maintain this site’s

professional setting.)

Some FACTS:

Bowling is a game in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface in order to knock down objects called pins. There are many forms of bowling, with the earliest dating back to ancient India. Origins can also be traced to ancient Finland and Yemen, and much later in 300 A.D. in Germany. In the US the best known form of bowling is probably the North American game of ten-pin bowling. This form, in both amateur and professional versions, is played around the world, making it one of the largest participation activities.

• Ten-pin bowling, which evolved from ninepin bowling in the 19th century.
• Candlepin bowling, played in eastern Canada and New England, is a variation of ten-pin bowling.
• Duckpin bowling, commonly found in the mid-Atlantic and southern New England United States and eastern Canada, is a variation of ten-pin bowling involving small, squat pins, sometimes with rubber at their widest points (rubber band duckpin bowling).
• Five-pin bowling, played in Canada.
• Nine-pin skittles, played in Europe.

Terminology

Strike: a X symbol, first throw knocks down all 10 pins.
Names of sets of strikes thrown in a row: strike, double, turkey; four-bagger (all other strikes are followed by bagger), thanksgiving turkey (perfect game)
Spare: a / symbol, first throw knocks down 0–9 pins, second throw knocks down the remaining pins.
Open: The player fails to knock down all 10 pins with both throws.
Foul: The approach to the physical lane contains a foul line. When you step on or over the foul line on any throw, you get a 0 pin count for that throw.
Gutter Ball: When the ball goes in the gutter. If a ball bounces out of the gutter, any pins it hits do not count and must be reset.
Split: A difficult combination of pins that involves pins separated by at least one space and does not involve the head (number 1) pin. A well known split is the 7-10, involving both outside corners. Another example would be the baby split: 3-10 and 2-7. However, a washout (1-2-4-10 for righties, 1-3-6-7 for lefties) does not count as a split because the head pin is still standing.
