Ten-Pin Bowling was just held today at AMF Rockingham and the victory goes to Coolbellup.
Actually, it could be contested whether Club Mandurah or Club Coolbellup won. What’s certain is that Rockingham came third. There were only three clubs competing in today’s challenge and careful consideration had to be taken in calculating the results. Two players from Rockingham and two players from Mandurah bowled 1 game each. So the final calculation had to consider that four members only played once.
The final scores are tabulated as such:
| Coolbellup | High | Low | Average |
| Amira | 107.00 | 88.00 | 97.50 |
| Muhammad | 90.00 | 67.00 | 78.50 |
| Ahmed | 110.00 | 87.00 | 98.50 |
| Maswati | 86.00 | 45.00 | 65.50 |
| Roy | 169.00 | 100.00 | 134.50 |
| AVERAGE | 112.40 | 77.40 | 94.90 |
| Mandurah | Top | Low | Average |
| Kim | 184.00 | 136.00 | 160.00 |
| Rod | 141.00 | 135.00 | 138.00 |
| Jean | 102.00 | 102.00 | |
| Jed | 113.00 | 94.00 | 103.50 |
| Shaanie | 43.00 | 43.00 | |
| Rikki | 134.00 | 71.00 | 102.50 |
| Georgia | 87.00 | 67.00 | 77.00 |
| Miranda | 115.00 | 66.00 | 90.50 |
| Ethan | 102.00 | 66.00 | 84.00 |
| Casey | 86.00 | 79.00 | 82.50 |
| AVERAGE | 110.70 | 89.25 | 98.30 |
| Rockingham | Top | Low | Average |
| Elanie | 65.00 | 65.00 | |
| Aneldi | 53.00 | 53.00 | |
| James | 76.00 | 75.00 | 75.50 |
| David | 83.00 | 82.00 | 82.50 |
| Douglas | 89.00 | 80.00 | 84.50 |
| Ben | 102.00 | 88.00 | 95.00 |
| AVERAGE | 78.00 | 81.25 | 75.92 |
So, similar to Poomsae Judging, we cancelled some scores out. Traditionally, we would discard the top score and the lowest score and average the remaining unbiased scores. However, since we only had 2 games each (some of us only 1) the top score is used. Those who played 1 game had their score counted as their best. In this case, Coolbellup just edged out Mandurah for top spot with an average of 112.40 over Mandurah’s 110.70.
Having said that, Coolbellup also has the widest fluctuations with their low score average of 77.40 losing out to the rest of the clubs. In this particular instance, Mandurah takes the honours over Rockingham.
Normally, you would take an average; total average, have EVERYTHING averaged out. In this case, Mandurah would have Average honours with 98.30 over Coolbellup’s 94.90.
I’ll scan the actual scores and post them up when they’re ready. I had some chocolate smeared over one sheet so I have to wait for it to dry before scanning it.
Photos will come courtesy of the Ahmad-Niza family when they’re ready and have emailed them to me.
Date: Sunday 14th December 2008
Time: 1pm - 4pm
Venue: Mandurah Senior High School Gymnasium
The end of school term nears again, and grading is confirmed to be held on the last Sunday before the school term finishes. It will be held at the Mandurah Senior High School Gym. This will be available to all the students south of the Swan River and the Peel region.
You will already have a sense of whether you are ready and prepared to go for the grading this time around. If you are unsure, please check with your instructor.
You can print a copy of the grading form here and submit with the appropriate fees to your instructor.
On a day where many students had to perform to nearing their best, to be awarded their next Taekwondo level - the venue for the grading had a bit of a hiccup. On arrival, the premises had no power. No lighting, no fans! Luckily, there were few windows on the very top of the gym hall to provide sufficient natural lighting. The venue was affected by the storm that morning which took out the electrical power in the surrounding areas for half the day. There was no hot water for hot drinks.
Despite the adversity, grading continued and graders who were not scheduled to be examined were permitted the use of another power-less room. Without the door open, the room would have been completely dark. It was amazing to note that many graders were able to use that dark-room facility to practice their routines. The rods in the eyes adjust quite well and after about 1 minute, the once completely dark room becomes useful. It goes to show how resilient taekwondo practitioners are and even the mums and dads and supporters were very patient and progressed as per normal.
Results will be notified to students who did not bring their Taekwondo Australia Grading Handbook. To all those who participated and went through the examination, congratulations - and an extra pat on the back to those who received awards at the end of the event.
Congratulations to the following for their grading awards:
Best senior grading: Jed Calicdan (Mandurah), and Averil Evans (Falcon),
Best junior grading: Munirah Ahmad Niza (Coolbellup) and Alex Battellar (Mandurah)
Encouragement: Neb Miletovic (Rockingham).
Photograher: Julie Cloud (Halls Head).
