You are incorrect. League bylaws are the LAW over and above USBC rules. Tommy G is correct.

Tommy,
The only thing I don't like is the low volume oil pattern..

Why would you condition the lanes to make the lesser technology perform better?

It was kind of like the PBA plastic ball championship. Way less volume and the balls actually hooked a bit and hit harder. Entry angle is entry angle and if it is created due to lesser volumes I don't think the Urethane ball restriction is that much of a deal..

Not a knock by any means. Just a professional assumption and I would love to bowl if I could..

Hype urethane has a .50 differential and has amazing recovery.  I just wish the dam center would make sure there were no loose screws.

If somebody needs a strong urethane particle ball for that league, try looking for an old Visionary Midnight Scorcher.

Here are the results for the first night of League:

  League Average   Game 1    Game 2    Game 3  Game 4      Total   Week's Avg
A)    196           161       180       182      194       717       179

B)    226           233       203       204      169       809       202

C)    245           235       237       189      245       906       226

D)    195           255       185       197      177       814       203
 
E)    205           197       192       198      186       773       193

F)    212           202       266       211      179       858       214


Comp. 213           213       210       196      191                 203



We had some bad weather that seemed to keep some guys who said they would bowl away. We also had one bowler call and wants to bowl, but hurt his back.

These are the score per game and composite averages for each game, and averages for each bowlers standard league, as well as thier average for the first night. I will keep an update every week for those that are interested. Also, If you still want to bowl, We will allow post bowling to make up the first week, as long as it is completed by the start of week 3.

Thank You.

Phew. I didn''t know what I was going do if I couldn''t get weekly updates from a 6-man urethane league in Pennsylvania set up so one guy could show off how much he loves his Natural. KEEP US POSTED!!!!!



It is amazing how people can try and find fault in the most innocent of things. Have a good.
