Did your league cancel the season?
« on: March 30, 2020, 10:13:36 AM »
Ohio is in shut down mode. Where I bowl many leagues are cancelling the season (about 5-6 weeks left). I haven't heard on my Sunday trio league which is my only league but I would be fine finishing during the summer but I doubt we will.

What are your leagues doing?

No word yet on our center.  We were originally to have been out of the shelter in place order today.  Then last Monday it was extended to April 6th.  Now with the president extending social distancing guidelines to April 30th, I imagine the bowling center will be closed until at least April 30th at this point.  There were still 6 weeks remaining in my league when the stoppage happened. 

If they decide to resume the leagues in May, we will potentially be bowling until mid/late June.

Off handed question, but valid; If any of you had to guess, what percentage of you, think the stimulus package, will HELP these owners of the bowling alleys? (The maximum amount given to them?)


I can’t answer that, Bowlero seems to own everything, there’s maybe 2 non corporate centers. One I’m certain will drown, they were hemorrhaging money before this.

That’s terrible to hear my friend. 😞

My house---Montvale Lanes---is in Bergen County, NJ---one of the pandemic Ground Zeroes across the USA. We have not received a closure notice of any kind, but we do not need one. Our league bowling is finished until September---if we are lucky. I hope that Montvale Lanes will survive.

One of my leagues had a vote already and decided by a 2:1 margin to end the league now. I think if there were a definite return date the vote would have gone differently. Most people said they would support the center in the summer if we're able to bowl by then.

All 3 leagues I'm in are cancelled for the season. The Wisconsin State Tournament is also cancelled for the remainder of the tournament.

I haven't heard anything official yet but I have to imagine that my winter league is done. It's now a matter of sorting out payments or credits towards next season. Some folks pay week to week and others pay the entire season in advance so that will all have to be figured out.
Regardless, I've pretty much checked out at this point and don't see myself bowling until September at the earliest.

Our big Tuesday night mens league cancelled 2 weeks ago with 3 or 4 weeks left. I'm certain the Wednesday night mixed league is also done, though no official word has come yet. The Thursday night had 7 weeks left when this all started and we were holding out hope to bowl the last 4 nights, but with President Trump announcing yesterday another 4 weeks on the 6 foot distance rule, I'm certain that will kill any chance of that happening. I'll be curious to see if there will be any summer leagues, as most of those were scheduled to start late April or early May. Just today local government officials were speculating that the peek will happen mid April to mid May. I bowl at Expo Bowl in Indianapolis. Stay well to all.

Hey, remember when my whole team skipped out on me earlier this season and I couldn't bowl anymore?

Karma's a bitch.

Just received notice, my leagues are done.

On a good note, in our challenge league, we took first place. Won two quarters and total points. On a not so good note, in the other league, well, I will just say we DID NOT take first place.  ;D

One of my two leagues has, the other one we are going to have a meeting, well were going to as soon as we could get the captains in a room with the owner of the center but that would be too many people. They are working to get a conference call set up to discuss options, but we all pretty much know it's going to be cancelled.

Summer leagues are going to be interesting, depending on how much longer this stretches out. Just really hoping my two local centers can weather this storm, both are nice, but small, local private owned centers.

We only had 1 week remaining in our challenge league (sweeper/roll off night) and had already paid for that week so we decided to cancel the final night. Because we had already paid, it made the decision easy as it didn't cost the house any lineage.  We haven't received our league payout yet but I would hope nobody would ask for the refund on the lineage for the final week and at least let the house keep that.  I bowl at a privately owned center that was also hosting women's state so they are going to take a big hit financially.

They postponed our Thursday and Saturday leagues two weeks ago. No word on when they will be open or if they will have each league vote on whether to finish or not.  If  we would vote to end the leagues we had 6 more weeks left in both leagues. i would be ok with finishing later to help the center as they are currently shut down.

We had 3 weeks left so we put everything on hold for 30 days with the hope of finishing.  We'll re-evaluate after the 30 days, but if the quarantine is extended I'd imagine we'll have to cancel.

 I haven't heard anything about our leagues only assume we are done.  Our local center was suppose to close for six weeks for renovations starting Memorial Day, on upside they have started the work early in hopes of salvaging some summer league activity, can only hope we are all back to normal by then.
