Interesting league rules
« on: November 23, 2011, 12:06:32 PM »
 Been surfing the net reading league rules and found these about hdcap and entering ave. on one.

The handicap is 90% of the difference between the bowler’s average and 175, with no limit. Wow  a 175 scratch figure!

 New bowlers without an average shall use the Vacancy value for average until scores are entered. (now the vacancy value is 90! Boy youll have some hdcap that first night!)

Of course the league that had $1-$2-$3 fines for smoking, using drugs or displays of affection kind of made me go hmmmmm.

I bowl a challenge shot league, and our hdcp is 100% of last years league average. Any vacancies, or absent bowlers get last years league average. 
 
The whole $1,$2, $3 fines for smoking (they banned smoking from public places, fine, but at least allow them a few minutes to go outside and smoke one. Why bowl if your in a hurry to get done?)
Doing drugs (If they wanna do it, do it at home. Dont go out in public under the influence of anything)-not saying its ok to do at home either, i dont touch that crap.
Showing affection??? Thats bull...i dont know what else to say about that lol. 


PAP- 4in right, 2in up of center of grip.
Rev Rate-400ish
Ball Speed 18.0-19.0 mph
I score well with a slight chicken wing

Why bowl if you are in a hurry to get done ????? Who the hell wants to go bowl and be there for 5 hrs......if it is your turn and you aren't present, in our league you get 0 for that frame. You wanna hang out and bowl, go to the rock n bowl.....


I kick ass, win money, and go home !!!!

Whats the difference if someone bowling really has to use the restroom, and spends 3 minutes in there, or has a phone call, what if the lanes break down? or anything else that can make you late for your turn or take extra time? I am a smoker, and I go outside for a cigarette after every game. Im almost always back when my name pops up. The people who are  back when their turn comes, and still get "fined"? Thats not right. 
Just because people smoke doesnt mean you will be there 5 hrs....thats absurd.  Its the people that stand outside and bullshit with each other, those are the ones that need to be "punished" There needs to be a happy medium. Of course non smokers are going to complain about smokers going outside. And smokers complain about non smokers complaining lol. 
Bowling is supposed to be fun. Yes a lot of us take it seriously, as I do also, but by having both "groups" complaining at each other, its not as fun.  
 
Its the extremely impatient people who drive me nuts. Ive already told a few people about themselves, when bowling in a league, with my mom, brother, and cousin, someone wanted to bitch when my Mom wasnt there to bowl right away. Why wasnt she there? Because she was trying to get something worked out with a league officer.

Bowled in a Scratch League for about 1 1/4 seasons I took over for a guy that had a stroke toward the end and was given the spot full time the following season.

 

League Rules If I remeber correctly were Collared shirt Pants with no holes $15 fine if not in the proper attire, no yelling or cursing out loud $10 fine, No violence against ball returns/scoring panels etc $20 fine.

 

I dont mind people going for smoke as long as they are back in a short span of time I find the habit disgusting IMO.

 

If you are in so much of hurry that you cant wait 3 minutes for someone to smoke then don't bother to bowl, 3 minutes will not kill you or ruin you rnight in any way, it is a social event the point is to bowl drink and have a good time not count the seconds until you can leave and sit your a#$ on the recliner again.

Just who determines what "displays of affection" are? And are any such fines actually meted out?
