Below is the current master list of various categories of wheelchair users, who have achieved the highest score known to date in bowling with an IKAN ("I can") Bowler® in each respective category. I've heard a surprising number of able-bodied people say, "I can't break 100 bowling" -- and ALL of the physically challenged people below say, "I KAN!" :-)
Do you have a better score for a category?
Do you have a score in a category not listed?

*These are single-game high scores bowled by wheelchair users in each category using a dynamic wheelchair ramp accepted by the nation's bowling federation in dynamic fashion -- i.e. users setup, then drive forward and turn left / right as needed to aim, and then stop / release; the ball is released from the momentum of the stopping wheelchair (by inertia and gravity) -- these scores were not attained using a stationary ramp. All record scoresheets must have two signatures (at least one from a bowling center official) verifying the game was legitimately bowled in dynamic fashion as just described, and the scoresheet must be either scanned and emailed to MGT, or a copy physically mailed to MGT (my email address is above, or click HERE for additional contact information).
