Would you bowl in this league......
« on: December 28, 2003, 07:29:56 AM »
I am heading up a Sunday night Scratch league.  It will be past PBA tournament shots, with a different shot every week.  It will be scratch as I said and singles play.  I am excited about this and I hope that we have a big turnout.  We have 18 signed up so far but I don't expect more than ten to commit.

If you wouldn't bowl this league please tell me why.  I would like to know.  It will cost $5.50 a week, no prize fund and it is only 12 weeks long.  

I you like this idea please tell me why.

Andrew

I would LIKE this league!

Like the idea of the LANE CONDITIONS .. the COST is excellent .. the choice of SUNDAY is smart and a 12 week season makes it easy to commit too. Wish you luck!

Thats the idea, keep it short, keep it cheap and make it different.

Let's see... charter plane to ND one night a week for 12 weeks... that's, what, 25,000 round trip?

Little steep for me.  I need to get some kind of something like that going around here.  The guys that own the house down the way from me are pretty good guys and I've known them most of my life... I wonder if I could get them to change a shot every Saturday night or something...  make it a non-sanctioned league so we'd just have the cost of bowling to deal with... that'd be pretty sweet.

Man I'd love it if they did something like that here.  Too bad I'm in Kansas . .  Only good thing about it is that it costs the same to ship a ball to Maine as it does to California.

Thanks guys, I am looking forward to this so much.  I remember back when bowling was more rewarding.  Yes, I am young (22) but I started just after urethane came out.  I learned to bowl with a Gyro (cobalt blue), a black and maroon Hammer.  I had the Teal Rhino Pro.  I averaged 190 in eighth grade with a Gray Phatom and Black hammer.  

I miss those days, that is why I am starting up this league.  I want the difference in winning and losing to be the execution of shots and spare making.  I don't want it to be who will carry the ten pin.  

We have 18 signed up as of today Dec 29.  I am hoping for at least 10.  Anything above 12 I am a happy camper.  I would be totally happy.  I am taking flyers out today to promote the league since the bowling center won't do it.  I want this league to succeed in every way.

I will update often with how things are going.  Thanks for the input guys.

I would love to bowl in a league like this, but you couldn't get away with $5.50 a week.  Lineage for 3 games on Long Island is around 10 bucks.

I agree with BrianN on keeping the same shot for a few weeks, at least 3 weeks for each pattern.  I'd feel like I really accomplished something if I figured out a shot, after being clueless on it for a week or two.

I think the winning team, high average and high series should get something, even if it's only a patch.  Just something to wave under the noses of the THS bowlers who were too scared to join the league.

Only complaint I would have is the price.  Raise it to $6.  I hate the leagues where you have to have change, seems like the bills will stay in the envelope, change always finds a way to fall out.
