Bombastic Bowling

Opening with today's "365" project, which is make up a new sport. I deemed this a pretty daunting task, so I went the amendment route and decided on creating rules for a pre-existing sport: Bowling.

Bombastic Bowling

So before you start a regular round of bowling, you put the following list of rules into a "hat." Then before each frame, someone picks one of the rules out and follows it for the entire frame.

The regular rules for bowl apply EXCEPT:

At random, (you figure it out,) the bowling order is established. The player that bowls after you is known as your "Buddy". You get to chose the name your buddy has in the system and is then referred to for the rest of the game.

-Confessional Bowl: Tell an embarrassing fact about yourself right before you bowl

-Look Ma, No Holes!: Bowl without the holes...in fact during the whole frame, act as if there are spider eggs in the holes


-Granny Style Deluxe: Not only bowl granny style, but pretend to be a grandma the whole frame


-Robot Parade: Everyone is a robot. Talk like a robot. Move like a robot. 


-No Talkie: No one can speak the whole frame. Try out other forms a communication if you must.


-Show Stopper: After each person bowls they get a standing ovation and they must bow


-Work Out!: The number of pins you knock down is the number of sit-ups/push-ups or jumping jacks you have to do as told to you by your "Buddy"



-Vanilla Bowl: Just a normal frame of bowling, except if there is ice cream, YOU MUST GET ICE CREAM


- Hey Buddy...: Your :"Buddy" bowls for you. If your "Buddy" scores no points that bowl, you may chose the ball your "Buddy" bowls with the next frame.  

-The Future is Now: you can't not look at your phone the whole frame. Even while bowling.


-Planet Hollywood: be a celebrity this frame. The worst your impression, the better. If you can't pick a celebrity, it is picked for you by your "Buddy".


-When in Omeray: Speak Pig Latin the whole frame


-Look over there!: Players are encouraged to yell or spook the current bowler just as they're about to bowl.

-Bully for You: When a player does poorly, the remaining players must point and laugh/jeer/boo


-Diviner: Everyone but the current bowler takes a guess at how many pins they'll know down. If they are correct, they are exempt from the next frame's rule

-Dominent-Schmominent: Everyone bowls with their non-dominant hand this round. If you gutterball during this round, you have to stuff your dominant hand in your shirt and not use it until the next time you bowl.

-Choose your own rule!: The person with the least amount of points gets to make up a rule. They may forfeit this responsibly to a more willing player if they kiss that player's hand like that player is a princess.

At the end of the game the person with the most points thumb wrestles the person with the least points. The winner of this contest wins the game. If another game is played, that winner gets to chose the names of all the other players for that subsequent game. If this was the final game, the winner gets her shoes removed by the 1st runner up, returned by the 2nd runner up and her regular shoes put on and laced by the loser of the thumb wrestling match.
