*the problem is that it's not comparing the first bowler's score to
the average score and the output file looks like this:
*
Bowling Report
----------------------------------------
David 120
Hector Perfect score!
Mary Below average
*
is the logic in my if-elif statements wrong or is it just skipping the
first bowler's score?

You must process all the scores before computing averages. This means
saving each player's score.
Use a dictionary with the name as the key and the score as the value.
Then go thru the dictionary to compute and report averages.
