Usually just a group that gets together.  We have our Sunday "Church" league that is nothing more than about 40 guys that hit the lanes to pot bowl.  $1.50 lineage, $2 a game, $1 is for singles, other $1 is for your doubles partner.  We draw each game for partners.

Cost evens out to what you would normally expect to pay for lineage alone, this just gives a chance to make a couple of bucks.

Pot bowling has pretty much died.  With he powerful balls and the easier conditions, winning is more a matter of carry rather than execution.

One game match gives even Ray Charles a chance to win.

We used to do $5. A buck a game, two bucks for series. Now, we went to the $5, but have an eliminator. Say you have 20 guys get it, break it down to 10 for the second game, then 2-3 the final game. Depending on how many places you want to pay out 1,2, or 3.

This doesn't let you get dominated by someone on a hot streak for a game, and your chances are better. I've squeaked in with a 189 on the low end, with 240+ being the high for that game.

There is a group of guys who bowl pot games every Monday after our sport league.  It looks like word is getting out, the group seems to get bigger each week.
