CollegeBowling.com

CollegeBowling.com has tracked individual athlete performance in two main categories, by traditional average and by the CollegeBowling.com average differential, since the 1998-1999 season.

The CollegeBowling.com average differential requires a "field average" be calculated for comparison to an athlete's performance. The field average is simply the average of the scores for all athletes in a division (men or women) in a single event. The field average is then subtracted from the athlete's individual average to determine the average differential. A positive average differential means an athlete performed better than the average athlete in an event, while a negative average differential means an athlete underperformed when compared to the average.

Beginning with the 2000-2001 season through the present, the player averages were maintained in the CollegeBowling.com database and are available here.

To view a player profile for a particular season, find the player in an average or average differential list for the season you wish to view, and click on the player name. If a player bowled less than 48 games, you will need to select the player from the "ALL PLAYERS" link from the lower left side of the average or average differential list.

For the 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 seasons the player averages where tracked through static html pages that are no longer available online. The exception maybe some mid-season snapshots in the Archive section feature "The History of CollegeBowling.com" where old versions of the site are available.

The data for these seasons still exists but must be converted and added to the online database.

For the first season of its existence, 1997-1998, the player averages were not tracked. The event results included only partial individual results (e.g. top 25 or top 50 players).
