GAME PLAY:

  1. Teams will play two games per night, with 4 players bowling each game.  Teams with 5 players may "rotate in" the 5th player between games OR two players share the 4th team spot.  Teams may play with a minimum of 3 rostered players - 4th player spot shared between 3 present players.  Teams will be given a 10 minute grace period to meet the 3 person minimum before the whole match is forfeited; The opponent will receive 100 points in case of a forfeit.  All games will be played on the SAME lane. If both games are not completed for some reason, the score will count from where the team finished at the end of their game-time 8:10pm OR 10pm.

  3. SCORING:

    1. 4v4 leagues will bowl two games per night: the sum of points scored will be collected to be each team's score that week. All scores are “scratch” scores. No Handicaps.

PLAYOFFS

The final week of the season will be a “position round/week” to determine final standings and our champion. No subs or non-rostered players will be allowed to play during playoffs.  The top 6 teams from each league will make it to playoffs - teams will play only one game against each other, and will be matched up by current standings position: 3v6, 4v5, with 1st & 2nd place receiving a first round BYE.  The Championship Team(s) will receive medals (and bragging rights) at the end of the season!

 

 

BOWLING ETIQUETTE

  • ●  Be ready when it’s your turn

  • ●  Don’t bowl if someone on an adjacent lane is about to bowl or is bowling

  • ●  Wait until the lanes next to you are done before you bowl so that you don't distract the person

    next to you.

  • ●  Be courteous and respectful. We share the bowling alley with other people and want to be considerate of their space.

    These rules may be modified as needed to make the league more fun.
