Awarded if it is a bowlers first EVER achievement, for example, a bowlers first ever 200 game or a first ever 500 series. If
a bowler has reached these plateaus in the past, they would not qualify for this award. First time achievements can be
earned at any time during the season.
Awarded if the bowlers current season 21 game average is at or below the average indicated on the award application.
For example, if a 130 average bowler shoots a 200 game or if a 140 average bowler shoots a 550 series, they would earn
the award.
All Game and Series Awards are awarded once in a lifetime.
Note: All average based Game and Series Awards use current season averages of at least 21 games; no last year’s
averages are used. No average data is required for First Time Achievements.
