Something I discovered running the Speedbowling category today. When you bowl a perfect game, a "Perfect" message appears for three seconds before the "Finish" message will appear. This means that the fastest game to bowl would actually be a 299 (or 2999 for 100 pin bowling), taking the smaller time penalty to avoid the three second delay in finishing/moving on to the next game.

Is that something we want to accept as a quirk of this game, or can the "Perfect" message be an acceptable point to end/move on to the next game?

The idea behind waiting until "Finish" appeared on the screen is to avoid that a could fall after someone exits. It is absolutely ok to exit after "Perfect" appeared on the screen, I'll edit the rules to make this clear.

Thanks for that. I think it better fits the spirit of the game...though, to be honest, I've never actually tried to quit the game while "Perfect" message appears, so I can't be entirely sure that the game will let you do that.

In the second frame of obstacle bowling, I missed a strike that I normally make. That would have pushed my time down another twenty seconds, so a sub-nine run is definitely possible. A true bowling master could probably push this below eight.
