I'm very delighted to have seen this telecast, Thanks again to Alley Chats for listing the exact month day and year, this one is special to me. I've been watching Don Gillis bowling since January 1970 I'd keep my own stats of the bowlers and scores, however I missed this particular Saturday broadcast for personal reasons. You don't know how glad I am to have seen this match.
I'm a duckpin bowler and I keep wanting them to hit the deadwood button but I know that's not how it works. Fun to watch, these guys are good, thanks for posting.
3:57 lucky for Tom that the overall match wasn't affected by what could've been had he waited a bit longer, though I was wondering if that would perhaps be the case after the 2nd game itself!
You are correct. If he had waited a few more seconds before hitting the button that pin would have counted. As soon as he pressed the button the box is considered over and the pin falling doesn’t count.
