Let me see if I can explain this correctly...if something doesn't sound right let me know.
My mom and my sister (also league president) bowl in the same league together but on different teams. The league is not a high average league, but is more that the old ladies get together. There are 7 teams in the league and have been since last year, when one team quit halfway through the year. Now here's the problem.
Last year when my sister's team was scheduled to bowl the blind team she noticed that the score for the blind was not right so she said something to the league secretary who promptly told her it was figured correctly and she was not going to look into it. Well since it was so late in the year they decided not to do anything about it and wait till next year to see if they got another team.
Well the next year they only had 7 teams so right off the bat my mom's team tried to tell the secretary that the blind score was being figured wrong. The secretary pretty much told them to p@ss off. So they called the association president and a meeting was called. Meanwhile over half of the season was bowled using the wrong blind score.
So the meeting was called and the association president pretty much told them to get along and figure it out. They voted to leave the first half standings as they were (even though they weren't right) and would figure the blind scores correctly from here out. The first night after the meeting my mom's team bowled the blind team and won all four games. When the standings came out the next week it showed they only won three games. When they confronted the secretary she said they added wrong and it wasn't going to be changed. My mom then pulled out the copy of the score sheet and asked the secretary to prove it. The secretary told her to go away.
My question is this;
1. Can the first half of the league stand even though the blind score was figured wrong.
2. How does someone get the USBC involved. They want to have the league de-certified?
The bad thing is that the numbers for women bowlers in this area are way down, and my mom has already said she is going to quite after this year, The only reason she is staying is so here teammates will have a full team. My sisters team is also going to lose one person. Someone give me some ideas on how to handle this please!!!!!!! Sorry to ramble on.
