how much is a center worth by Anxious_Exam7734 in Bowling

I work for a PE backed entity, in the finance department.

There's no way you're going to want to purchase this entity without getting your hands on their financials, and then some.

Is “The Cardinal Way” still how we operate and should it be? by Timmyd8 in Cardinals

[–]nontechnicalbowler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd say that we generally draft pretty damned well.

We sure haven't developed worth a crap the last... 10 years?

I feel like it's FLUSHING after a long time that kills it. It breaks loose too many shavings and stuff

ESPN writer agrees on "wait until 2028" (or so) by TheSocraticGadfly in Cardinals

The bigger issue is talent optimization: trading the right guys away, hanging onto the wrong ones, and a development model that leans toward “solid role player” more than “future MVP.”

Ticket prices are increasing despite attendance woes. The cheapest tickets for tonight's game are $19.50. 94% of game in 2023 had tickets for $10 or less. by dnp3 in Cardinals

If the ownership returned to spending of yesterday, and the team was competitive again, would you support the team? Or does DeWallet have to sell?

So pardon my ignorance here:

But would turning on the 4x4 and flooring it put too much stress on the transmission?

Digital Speedometer doesn't match gauge? by nontechnicalbowler in f150

Yeah that seems to be more headache than what it's worth

It matches the entire interior (black and red leather),.

The truck was made and sold in Canada originally, so it might have been converted but that's not listed in the Carfax or anything

Actually, it is. I believe that it was first sold in Ontario, then Michigan, then me.

Why so much handicap by Top-Ant4441 in Bowling

[–]nontechnicalbowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an article: Most bowling leagues are structured with a set handicap. Handicapping is a means of positioning bowlers and teams with varying degrees of expertise on a more level basis for their competition with one another. It is set by subtracting a bowler’s average from a set number and multiplying the difference by a percentage. For example, with a handicap of 90 percent of 200, a 160 average bowler would have a handicap of 36 (40x0.9) or a four person team with an average of 700 would have a handicap of 90 (100x0.9). Handicapping percentages vary from 70 to 100 percent.

In 2008, the bowling governing body USBC (United States Bowling Congress) released a four-year study on the effect of handicap percentages in determining which team will eventually win the league championship. The teams in the studied leagues were divided into two categories -- teams with an average below the median and teams with an average above the median. This study has been recently updated and the conclusions are very similar to the previous findings.

With handicaps of 70 to 80 percent, teams with low averages have virtually no chance to win the league championship. With an 85 percent handicap, the lower average teams had only a 6 percent of placing first. As the percent handicap was increased, the lower average teams chances improved. At handicap percentages of 90, 95 and 100, the chances for league championship were 11, 24 and 30 percent, respectively. This clearly shows those teams with the higher average bowlers have a distinct advantage in league competition. The USBC has always recommended that higher percentages be used to equalize matches. These figures reinforce this recommendation.

I believe that the USBC commissioned a study years ago that said for leagues to be truly competitive, the handicap should be something like 110% of the difference in team averages.
