A cartoonish, fun illustration of a bowling team of 7 men posing together for a team photo. All men are smiling and holding bowling balls. They are wearing matching bowling shirts that are black with a bold orange vertical panel down the front center, and a guitar graphic printed on the orange panel — like a retro bowling shirt with a guitar logo. The background subtly suggests a bowling alley with lanes, pins, and neon lighting. The art style is bright, colorful, and playful with bold outlines and a friendly cartoon aesthetic. The 7 members are positioned as follows: FRONT ROW (kneeling/seated, left to right): - Bottom Left Kneeling: Man with bright red hair and a full red beard. Keep exactly as before — do not change. - Bottom Left Seated (next to red hair): An older-looking man, visibly aged with grey or white hair, wrinkles, and an older face — clearly the most senior member of the team. - Bottom Right Seated (next to long hair): A heavier, stockier man with no beard and bright WHITE hair. He is wearing bright white bowling shoes with NO red on them whatsoever — completely clean white shoes, no red accents, no red trim, just plain bright white. He looks friendly and a bit chubby. - Bottom Right Kneeling: Man with long flowing hair. Keep exactly as before — do not change. BACK ROW (standing, left to right): - Top Left: A noticeably heavier set, stocky and broad man with bright WHITE hair, clearly visible. He has a wide build and a fuller face. He has a light, fair skin complexion. - Top Center: A man with clear Asian facial features and a mustache. He stands out as the center back row member. - Top Right: A noticeably heavier set, stocky and broad man with short nearly shaved hair that is a warm medium brown. He has a wide build and a fuller face. He has the same light, fair skin complexion as the Top Left man. His eyebrows match his medium warm brown hair. All men wear dark shoes except the Bottom Right Seated member who wears plain bright white shoes with no red on them.

Meet the Oddballs

The Oddballs are laid‑back crew of friends who bowl at Cedarvale Lanes on Tuesday nights and meet regularly for happy hour each week. That’s how we roll!

Weekly Update

This is where you can find the weekly results throughout the season.

A bowler standing at a bowling alley, looking up at a massive life-size calendar hanging on the wall in front of them. The bowler is holding a bowling ball and has a very confused, puzzled expression on their face — furrowed brow, mouth slightly open, scratching their head. The calendar is enormous, filling most of the wall, with lots of dates, events, and notes written on it in a chaotic, hard-to-read way. The bowling alley lanes are visible in the background. Realistic illustration style.

Schedule

Check out who’s bowling each week this season.

Events

This section will show any events that we participate in throughout the year. If there is an event you would like to participate is please post it here so we can all discuss it.

Weekly Practice

As we have for several years, we continue to have regular practice sessions on Friday mornings. This is a good opportunity to test out some new things and work on what went wrong last time you bowled.

Where: Cedarvale

When: Friday 10:00 AM

Cost: $7.00

A close-up of a bowling lane’s end showing ten perfectly aligned white pins with glossy surfaces and bright red neck stripes, captured just before impact. Several colorful bowling balls rest on a return rack to the side, their polished surfaces reflecting nearby neon accent lights. The gutter bumpers are raised, adding a playful, casual feel suited to invited guests and social nights. Cool overhead lighting mixes with warm accent LEDs, creating a dynamic, slightly dramatic contrast. Shot from a low side angle with a long focal length, the foreground pins are crisp while the background lanes gradually blur. The atmosphere feels lively and anticipatory, ideal for illustrating weekly update recaps in a realistic, energetic photographic style.

Tournaments

I anticipate doing the usual Twin Cities Open tournament again this year with the usual legacy team of Oddballs.

Does anyone want to do doubles or singles this year?

I suppose we could also do another team on at a separate time/day if there is interest in that.
