I just went to nationals at Reno Nevada.  I bowled the 40-Frame, and the BTM (Bowling This Month), and also the Bowlers Journal.  This year for nationals I shot 680 in Team Event with a 298 my third game. In Doubles I shoot 539 and in singles I shoot a 613 with a all events total 1832.  My first game in doubles I shoot 144 with 6 splits.  I make my adjust ments and go on to be more consistent.  At the BTM I shot 795 for 4 and the Bowlers  Journal I shot 813.  While Bowling the 40 Frame Game I stuck on teh appraoch and still used my hand as a brace when i fell I still managed a 1059 after all my penalty and bonus points were factored in.  Over all I had a great time in Reno and bowled half way decent for the most part.
