Sunday Evening Bowling 2022/23

[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 20th 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 20, 2022
Week 15 - Sunday, March 19, 2022

No Bowling December 25th
No Bowling January 1st
No Bowling on Super Bowl Sunday, February 12th

Competition will be held every Sunday evening beginning November 20, 2022. Bowling will begin at 8:00 pm. A no-cost practice will be help on Sunday November 13th. 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.
