Default Stupid question to ask...math

Alright, so this is my situation. I joined a league on november 20th. I have to have 66 games in order to get money, which right now i have high average-game-series, so that means i can miss one week and still have 66 games in. I will not be able to bowl next week and i was wondering how ou figure out what my blind will be. Handicap is 90% of 200 and i have a 206 average.

Is it a 186 per game??

Ours is somewhat gracious and is only 10 off you handicap, which if your case would be 196. It will depend on your league/association rules

For every league I've ever been in, it's 10 less than your league average of 206 = 196.

Same as every league I've ever been in going back to Juniors.

USBC Rule 105.e.1

An absentee score is to be used when a member is absent and a substitute is not obtained. The following provisions apply unless otherwise provided by league rule:
1. The absentee score for each game shall be the absent member’s current average less 10 pins. In handicap leagues, the handicap shall be based on the absent member’s current average.

Nuff said.

Theres the thing though, unless your league rules say otherwise. On the youth travel league(scratch) i bowl in, if your missing someone and dont have a sub, your blind score is 150.

That's a bit harsh. Mind you for most people in my current league a blind score of 150 is far more than they'd get if they actually turned up. Mind you I'm not too far over - a couple of bad weeks and....

I know you're being sarcastic but I don't know any leagues that will allow one person to pre-bowl. The only time that is allowed in leagues is when a whole team or 3 out of 4 can't make it on league night and it's either an emergency or unavoidable situation like travel for work or something.

Maybe you could pre-bowl a 900....
