Bowl-A-Thon

Team Acme captured the highly competitive first annual Denver Urban Debate League Bowling Tournament held at the Denver Athletic Club. The tournament, designed to raise funds for the Urban Debate League which brings the benefits of competitive debate to city schools, featured 16 teams from a mixture of law firms, companies, and schools. The tournament consisted of two rounds. In the first round, Team Acme had the seventh highest score with 382. The finals featured the top eight teams and Acme vaulted itself to the top thanks to the heroics of team captain Tom Peak Oil, Mary, Tina SuperParaLegal and former summer intern Lee Majors a/k/a The Six Million Dollar Man (Yours Truly bowled in the first round and scored a 79, but most importantly realized that the team would be wise to call in the Six Million Dollar Man from the Bullpen). Their incredible score of 481 propelled them to a win by five points. T. Peak Oil dueled with Mary with their scores being 142 and 150 respectively and T. SPL and $Six Million Man both came in around the century mark. $Six Million Man was bowling after surgery on his torn ACL/MCL (and basically any other CL in his leg) and so he could only amble up to the line and literally bowl with only leverage from his upper body. Their prize, in addition to four Rockies tickets, was a water bottle filled with Jolly Ranchers.

Most importantly, personnel from Acme donated nearly $1200 which made Acme one of the top fundraising teams as well. Overall, over $10,000 was raised for the DUDL.
