This is the information I found on the next Premium badge album to come out. I don't think I will be able to get the Pogo Bowl challenge though not even using my auto. Why do you guys think?

:/\ ty 4 info
:o ::) that 300 will be hard to get :##
Thanks for the info...I won't be getting that bowling badge.. :(( I have a hard enough time getting 200, much less 300.
when does it come out?
There's no way I"ll ever be able to bowl a perfect game. Period. And personally, if I can't finish the album, I ain't buying the album, so I guess Pogo just saved me 6 bucks. It's a shame too, because the rest of the badges in the album sound pretty easy, with some that I'd actually enjoy doing. I hope Pogo comes to their senses before they release the album; that bowling challenge really needs to be changed.
i have every album that pogo came out with. because of the bowling badge in the new 10 pack i wont buy this one.im sure there are a lot of folks not going to buy this album cuse of it. !@#$ :{: come on pogo wake up and smell java (O+O) :{: >:((
I'm sure it will get changed when it gets officially released out in the news or just plain comes out. They change the weekly badges because of everyone whining all the time. How many people have even bowled a 300? I will still buy the album and I'm sure someone will figure out how to get it. ???
hope ur right miss tara. cuse i hate to miss a album. but i guess i would still get it.i could allways call my docs and get more meds to get the 300 badge :)) :)) :)) :!!
Badgehelp needs your help.
If ANYONE knows of a "sure fire way" of bowling a strike every time (i.e. throw it from the left into the center, whatever....) they need to email badgehelp@aol.com with their suggestions so they can put it in the backspin program
I'll buy the album but I know I can't bowl 300
A challenge should be difficult not impossible. Maybe 1 250+ game?

I have 2 thingy's and I have 3 balls in the 10th frame. (https://www.pogocheats.net/proxy/?http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/rabbit2.gif)

Y'all put your thingy's and balls away for a minute..this is serious business...it might not be but it could be is what I meant.
Chummy?
Ok...I always like Shot #2 in the auto. It doesn't throw strikes everytime of course but it gets the spins you need for ranking up.
If one throw on the auto can get a strike, then why can't all the throws get one? The pins are in the same place at the beginning of a frame, I doubt they move around.
If your making the auto...you throw the ball and get a strike do you have a save button for that move? LOL I don't know how you make them, but do you understand what I'm saying?
I agree with Tara if you can improve shot 2 we my just have a 300 game getter on an auto.

I wrote to Pogo in regards to the bowling to see if they would consider changing it.
Here is the messages back and forth between me and pogo.

Yes I just saw the requirements for the new premium book "10 pack" that will be coming out sometime. I own every premium book and Mix & Match album... but I feel I will not be able to purchase this one for I know that I will NEVER be able to get a perfect game score of 300. Is there anyway that the requirements can be changed before you release that new premium album??? Pretty Please! I really want to be able to own all of books. Tks for your time.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Club Pogo support.
I can certainly understand that the prospect of bowling a perfect game can be intimidating. However, the challenges that we released are intended to be of varying levels of difficulty. Some may be extremely easy, while others will be very difficult. The Pogo team feels that this challenge is ideal for a Premium Badge Album, because even if you cannot finish it within the two week period, you can just re-activate the challenge and try it again.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Take care,
Player Relations

Well tks for the feedback I don't think however many pogo players will be happy to see that challenge in the badge book when it is released. I believe I won't be able to purchase it because I know that I won't be able to get all strikes. Pogo should really consider changing it to maybe 8 of the 10 strikes. Tks for your time
Response 04/20/2007
Hello again,
I will certainly pass on your feedback about that particular challenge. If the Pogo team receives enough feedback about the difficulty of that badge, there is a chance they will consider a change to the requirements. Again, we'd like to express our appreciation to you for taking the time to let us know about your feelings on this.
Take care,
Player Relations

So lets hope other people say something so that way maybe it will be changed
** Edited to take out the Pogo empl. names.
I've been in rooms several times where players have rolled 8-10 strikes in a row.So naturally everbody asks them how they can do that,and of course accused them of using a cheat,lol. But at least 2 of the "pro" bowlers have said the same thing about their shots:start from the top left of the lane and aim for the pocket between the 1 and 2 pins with full power. I kinda believed them because as we all know getting that many in a row from an auto just doesn't happen. I think pogo will definately change this one cause even if ya bowl 10 strikes in a row it still ain't a 300 game!
No problem with a 300 game, I'll just hire a blooming bulldozer to get strikes, besides, I swear pogo feeds some of the pins Viagra, Because they just won't go down !! :))
QuoteThe Pogo team feels that this challenge is ideal for a Premium Badge Album, because even if you cannot finish it within the two week period, you can just re-activate the challenge and try it again.
The Pogo employee who said this is an idiot. And if the entire "Pogo team" feels that way, then they're all idiots. This would have been best suited as a mix-and-match badge, so the 99.99% of us who can't do it could simply not purchase it. As I said before, if that challenge is in the album, I simply won't buy the album, even though I've bought all the premium albums they've released so far. But personally, I think they're gonna get a LOT of complaints about this one, both before and after it's released, and I think there's an excellent chance that they'll wind up changing it.
I will never play a 300 game in bowling, why not just make it 10 200 point games, that would suck enough LOL
:)) :)) :!!
I have let my auto run several nights in Pogo Bowl to get the rank badges, and I still have to gotten a 300 game yet. Neither do I think I will. This is simply ridiculous. >:(
I personally think that all the employee pogo peeps should be able to do this challenge before its even a challenge to the players.... just a thought.. :(
I think it will get changed.
I have completed all 50 ranks ( a long time ago) and played in rooms where the very serious leagues were playing and I have NEVER seen anyone get close to 300 in a game. 250 every now and then but never 300.
I remember when a certain smart azz forum had people posting the most impossible challenges they could think of and someone posted this one- Bowl a perfect game.
I swear, I thnk Pogo went there and decided to take them up on their dare.
It better be changed >:D
I can get a 300 game if pogo gamer lends me his dozier. Im with Tara. The backlash over this one (whiners) will surpass anything Pogo has had to date. Look at the challenges they have already changed. They were nothing. Imagine asking for a 300 game.
I've written them.. got a canned msg. back from CS- " We dont' know anything about any challenge or badge before you do".
So I requested that Mr. Harry in CS take my letter on up the food chain to someone who does know somethihng about the upcoming 10 Pack Premium Badge Album.
It's like I told Harry, if they thought the Quackadoodle badge was trouble, bbbbaby, they ain't seen nothing yet. I also said I got two QQ badges on the Wed. it was released ( no need to mention Badge Help in there), and that I was not too thrilled when they changed the requirements AFTER the challenge had already started, then dumbed it down to 10 ducks instead of 100 ducks when I shot 100 ducks twice. My badge, however, says I shot 10 ducks. Still pisses me off ( I didin't say that either).
But, as I pointed out to Harry or whoever he sends this to, since the duck fiasco was a free weekly challenge and this will be a paid Premium challenge, they had better get their " ducks in a row" NOW, before the book is released, or people may have a reason to recover the price of the badge book when they dont receive what they paid for. I know that IF I was able to bowl 300 and did, and they changed the badge, I would be furious.
But mostly I'm convinced that at least 95% of Club Pogo members cannot possibly bowl a 300 game. Not even with the cheat I downloaded from site XYZ. ( Hey, I had heard rumors.. it's NOT true).
The entire time I was getting my rank badges in the game, I never saw anyone get 300.
And it took quite a while to finish all the ranks. Ditto the recent " Bowl 200" challenge.
I went into full Rooms where the Tourney people were playing because I firmly believe that scoring is biased when there is a room full of fairly good bowlers.
I've seen my scores be way high too many times when a tourney league came in the room and filled it up for this not to be true in some perverse Pogo way. It's a phenomenon similar to PoppaZoppa but who knows how this works.
Even during the 200 point challenge with extremely good bowlers and my Backspin program getting 200 fairly easily, I NEVER saw a 300 score. And I did the challenge 3 different times for 3 different accounts that week.
Sometimes I think Pogo puts these things out just to see the reaction. Sorta of explains their tolerance of people who just stir up trouble on Pogo. If they keep this challenge I see as giving approval for auto use. The number of people who can bowl a legit 300 is small very very very small. So by letting this challenge stay it means to me crank up those autos "WE AT POGO DONT CARE" And I feel very confident that the great folks at BH will have a 300 game getting auto in the future.
I bowled 1 perfect game out of over 2000 games and that was a fluke and a cheat !!

Tara, firstly, when bowling on pogo, you need salt peter as a aid, you feed all 10 pins this before beginning play, you have to fight fire with fire because I swear to good god pogo feeds the pins viagra to keep em up, so I use salt peter to keep em down
Secondly I need to cuss, scream, threaten my balls with bodily harm if they do not preform up to my expectation, in your case I can be of little or no help :)) :)) :))
Badgehelp is going to have an update out for backspin that is going to make it much better. Should be out today.

So what you're saying is...Hide the Viagra and cuss,scream,and threaten my balls (if I had some) and I might get a perfect score? :))
Wonders what he threatens his ball with...a few smacks maybe? :)))
Maybe BH can make us ladies some auto balls to use when we bowl

That's great for you guys, but I'm still hoping Pogo will change that
challenge, so those of us who don't use autos will have a chance too. :P
BH told me it got 8 strikes in a row on one game
OMG, Thumbs up to Badgehelp, I knew we could count on them :!!
I just wittnessed a guy by the name of <admin edit: Do not post pogo sn's in the forum>bowl 9 out of 10 frams with a strike ending up with a 279
Great I knew BH would do it. :^* :^* :^*
O0 Awesome Awesome~!

As great as that is, it still won't be enough to cover this badge if they refuse to change the challenge. And again, the nature of the beast will unleash a torrent of abuse on anyone who does bowl a perfect game whether they use an auto or not. Can you imagine the number of reports that Pogo will get accusing people of using cheats? Oy vey!!
Besides, isn't a perfect game 11 or 12 strikes since frame 10 gives us at least 2 balls?
The version of Backspin prior to this new update was still a challenge...at best I was getting 2 strikes in a row, no more. I tried every kind of shot at least for an entire game and the only one that gave decent speed was shot 3.
And yeah, IF the pins are in the same place every time why is the result NOT the same every time if you are using the same shot?
Very fishy...;)
I just went to the download page and it says the link was updated today...but it still downloads the old version. :(
3.5 is up now, looks like it may need more work though
Yep, I've been tinkering with it.. I like the premise behind the new ball spin and rotation but this is the first time I am getting 7-10 splits all the time, every game.
I hope they keep on working on it because IF IF IF Pogo is stupid enough to release the badge book with the 300 challenge in it, this babe is going to have to have mucho help.. or that badge won't ever be completed.
A big THANK YOU to BH for working on an auto which was working very well. Backspin got all 50 ranks for me in no time. I know they must hate this !!!
Downloaded 3.5 and although it is VERY VERY good, I am betting you would need to run it for far longer than the allowed badge time to get a perfect game.
Maybe it is just me, but my scores for about 100 frames ranged between 156-257. I was going for the silver pin badge (and they sure love to give you gold pins on this challenge) so it didn't matter. Lower scores were due to a few too may 7/10 splits.
I would love to see Pogo's player list and see just how many subscribers have actually bowled a perfect game AND how long it took them.
Thanks for the auto update - it really is good - espcially for badges that require games above 200!!
I finished Pogo Bowl while in a very good league. I managed 2 perfect games the entire time. However, some people in the league had as many as 40-60. I was still very proud of my 2 perfect games and believe me it is not easy.
If they keep the 300 challenge...it can be done..but will take forever for most of us. :((
Hi
what is the correct setting's??? can you post them I have 3.5
I have tried everything possible ,But I do not get all strikes.
Can you post the settings please?
Thank You....
Give me 2 balls Ill be able to bowl a 300. If pogo dont give us 2 balls I dont think nobody will be getting a 300 game.
But I have 2 cannot get 3 :)) :))
Everyone can relax. Pogo just confirmed the rumor is false in the Pogo News letters to the Editor today.
Guess they were having a laugh on a certain site which I hate that suggested this challenge months ago.
Boy do I feel sorry for the guys at BH.

:%# b/h to pogo
I am just sure two balls would cut it, maybe bigger balls would :-X
I happen to think it's quite funny how Pogo said in the news section that the 300 perfect game is just "a rumor and dont believe what you read on other sites" yet one of the sites that has that listed is the beta site............go figure? LOL so we can't believe Pogo then? <..> :{x
GREAT NEWS: the challenge has been changed:
"Bowl 2 Games Where You Get 200 Points Or More In 4 Weeks!"
thats much better!
Some good has come out of this rumour though: we have a new and improved Auto!
As a side note, I found a post here somewhere that offered a custom setting so I decided to try it out...it works so good for me that I have to babysit it so that it doesn't play overly well. At one point I had 8 strikes in a row! This shot consistently plays out to the mid to high 200's.
I can't seem to post a screenshot of the damn setting so here is the link to the photobucket album it's in. It's the only image there. Click on the image to see it full size:

No its not, this shows true weaknes in the average player. It should be either "Bowl 15 games with no open frames" Or "Bowl 10 games where you get 200 or more points in 4 weeks" Or "Bowl 2 Games Where You Get 200 Points Or More in 2 Days!"
I am lucky I get the score of 150 and they want a perfect score 300
It will be 2010 before I finish it ,with the auto and by playing this
game myself. I need the settings for a perfect score with the AUTO
is it out yet? :=
