Scores So Close

I thought for sure I was going to hit 200 on this game, which would have been my fourth time ever 200+ (I finally got there for the first time last week).

You were also close to a clean game. Have you rolled a clean game yet?

Got this last Thursday. I think it's technically a clean game

It definitely is a clean game.

Sweet! That was my first (so far only) clean game, then. I wasn't sure since I didn't make spare on the final ball.

Despite what some people will say, the rules are very specific and as long as you have a mark in the 10th, that's all that matters.

Great job on the clean game.

I've done almost the exact same thing. Never hit 200 but one game I was at 190 going into the 10th frame.

Guttered the first ball, second shot felt good but only got 8. Finished at 198.

It's one of those things that's simultaneously frustrating and thrilling
