Rachel's swollen ankle meant only more pain for her opponents

Sunset Forever's dream season came to a stunning conclusion Sunday as the rag-tag rollers fell to eventual champions the Gutterballs in a gut-wrenching, mind-boggling, never before seen ultimate climax. Following a nip and tuck battle that featured wild momentum swings and key Vitamin-C shots consumed by Sunset's players, the game ended in shocking fashion: a dead heat. Tensions were high following the tie as the teams and officials debated an appropriate measure to determine which squad would advance to the championship match. The final verdict: a 1-frame sudden death playoff.

Like getting dumped, kicked in the nuts, and pepper sprayed in the eyes all at the same time, Sunset Forever fell to their rivals by yes, you guessed it, 1 measly pin. It was the type of season ending conclusion you tell your kids about, a tale worthy of being enshrined in epic poetry, and a heart breaking memory that will haunt our precious team for the rest of our lives. Yet the ultimate irony came 45 minutes later as Gutterballs knocked off Sinners And Saints with a score less than Sunset's game 2 pin count. Ouch!

Regardless of who walked away with the Sunday 4:30pm trophy, not enough can be said for the heart, determination, and spirit of Sunset Forever's mighty players. Kudos to Rachel Chen for overcoming black eyes, swollen ankles, and a shortage of Jack Daniel's behind the bar and coming through each and every week with outstanding performances that made her unquestionably the mightiest female in the league. Props to "Gentle" Dan Halos whose slow ball of purple doom meant trouble for pins and opponents alike. When it came to spares no one could hold a candle to our fearless Dan. Applause to Alexis Rush and Jenny Hapgood who could always be counted on to defeat the opponent's second female scorer. Three cheers for our season's many subs, Randy, Alecia, Sara, Meghan, and Dave who picked up the slack when the regulars were unavailable. And finally, thanks to our team captain, Joey Johnson, who somehow put this magical team together. After hearing of our nail-biting playoff performance, he called us "accidentally great." In my opinion, nothing could be farther from the truth. Fact of the matter is we are great and proved it each and every Sunday afternoon.

For everyone who bowled, drank, cheered, and partied with us there was one consesus beyond all others: win, lose, or draw, we were the champions... of the world!

Sunset Forever.

League Rules:

1. Six people bowl in each game. Two games are bowled each night. One point is awarded for each game won and two points are awarded to the team with the most total pins. That makes for a possible total of 4 pts each night.

2. The 2 highest men’s scores and 2 highest women’s scores will be counted for each game. We have updated the scorecards so that no matter what crazy bowling alias you use, each player will have a line on the scorecard where he/she must write their real name. In addition, there will be a M(ale)/F(emale) column where each player will be expected to write in their gender. Please note: If a team fails to turn in their scorecard then the supervisor will simply take the four lowest scores off of the printout we receive from Sunset.

3. Substitutions can be made between games 1 and 2 but not during games. And I’m reluctant to even mention this but in the past we have had people attempt to cheat at bowling. Please don’t cheat. Cheating in a co-rec bowling league is very lame.

4. There is a scoring cap of 205 on all bowlers.

5. And finally, while forfeits are sometimes unavoidable, they are always a little sad-especially for the team that ends up with no one to bowl against. We have updated the scoring system so that three way games are scored a little differently and points can be awarded to the first and second place teams. So, if you think your team has to forfeit, please try and let us know so that we can set up a three way game for your opponent.
