Sunday Evening Bowling 2023/24

[sixofdiamonds]

Sunday Evening Bowling is right around the corner. Bowling in the softball off-season is a great way to lessen the grip of cabin fever and shorten the effect of the winter blues. Softball America will once again shift gears to Bowling America on the 26th of November by offering a full slate of fun and competitive weekly bowling.

Don't say no to this because you're not a good bowler. Everyone can bowl and everyone can compete here. Regardless of your bowling ability, our bowling handicap process gives each and every bowler, hence each and every team, an opportunity to compete. Any team can win the league title. With multiple conferences, most of the competitive action goes right down to the wire. And… you don't have to be a member of Softball America to join Bowling America. Grab 2 others, form a team and sign up.

Returning full and partial teams will have entry seniority over new teams. We can go with up to 32 teams. I will be reaching out to bowling team captains in the not-too-distant future.

Format

All teams will consist of 3 bowlers. There are no gender restrictions. If a bowler has a current established average it will be used. Individuals without established averages will have one formulated after Week 1 of bowling. A 90% handicap format will be used. Team handicaps are established by taking the difference of the competing team's averages. If Team A averages 125 and Team B averages 175, Team A will receive a handicap of 45 pins (90% of [175 -125]).

When

Week 1 - Sunday, November 26, 2023
Week 15 - Sunday, March 23, 2023

No Bowling December 24th
No Bowling January 31st
No Bowling on Super Bowl Sunday, February 11th

Competition will be held every Sunday evening beginning November 26, 2023. Bowling will begin at 8:00 pm. A no-cost practice will be held on Sunday November 19th. This is a free week of bowling where you and your team can come out and get a feel for things before the season begins.

Where

Thunderbird Lanes Street Road, Warminster, PA - (appx. 5 miles down the road from the Quarry ball field).

Cost

$13.00 per person (collected weekly) to cover 3 games per week. You will pay for only the games you bowl. No bowl, no pay. Remember, unlike most leagues, you do not have to pay for bowling if you do not bowl. There will be no pre-bowling. A pool of approved substitute bowlers will be made available if a team is in need.

Each team's league fee envelope will be placed on the table by the scoring pedestal at the lanes you are assigned each week. Each team's league fee envelope MUST be filled ($13.00 for each bowler) and handed in at the front desk BEFORE the team's 2nd game. Failure to remit your team's league fee will result in your lane pair being shut down for game 2. Please double check the amount in each envelope. If a teammate is not present, please place the appropriate mark in the appropriate box on the inside flap of the league fee envelope. Please do not 'carry' league fees from week to week. If you are a little short, please borrow from a teammate or 2.

It is a fun time.

Confirmed teams thus far...

[sixofdiamonds]

We now have 14 teams- a nice even number. A 15th team just signed on leaving us once again with an odd number of teams and forcing a scheduling bye each week. We now need a 16th team to step up and join the league. If you are interested, please do so ASAP.

[sixofdiamonds]

We now have 16 teams and look set and ready to go. Teams that want to join from this point forward will need to be done in pairs. If a 17th team wants in, I will need to get an 18th team before a 17th is added.
