FALL LEAGUES WILL be STARTING SOON, HOW MANY Can YOU HANDLE!!!!

[MICHAEL]

Fall leagues are right around the corner,,, have you figured out how many leagues, and what type leagues you will be bowling on? I am still in the process of trying to figure it out!

This year for the first time I am not bowing a league on any FOOTBALL DAY/NIGHT. That would be Sunday, Monday, and Thursday!

Monday and Thursday will be ok if its morning, or early afternoon. I will be bowing with the BEAST,,, Pat Henderson, One of Missouri's USBC's Hall of fame bowlers this far on a 1pm league. Looking forward to bowling with this animal who just turned 60, and still kicking out 800's and 300s!!

I am thinking at this point in time of bowling 3 senior league... all 1pm two sanctioned, and one not, and one evening league with Geneo2u, and Mary.

Might for the first time, other then the AMF Big 22,,, enter some tournaments this fall. My style of bowling is suited to this type of combat on the lanes. IF I am on.... I AM ON!! IF not,,,,, Forget-about-it!!! LOL I never know which will show up.... Michael,,,, or ICEMAN!!
Still looking around for a Sports league that Gene and me could bowl on together.

Still thinking about that 37 mile trip to Plattsburg, if they have and opening. The price is right,,,, Plattsburg only charges 8 bucks for sanctioned men's league. Only problem to me is it starts at 7pm, and it is Thursday evening, NFL NIGHT!! :confused:

HOW ABOUT YOU.... HOW MANY LEAGUES,,,, and what type of leagues will you be bowing this fall?

[Mudpuppy]

Tuesday yes - looking to go back to back champions. Would tick a lot of people off on the league since we are the clowns of the league, drinking, smoking and joking (well the smoking is just a metaphor and filler word because all lanes, as they should be, are non-smoking now).

Saturdays - no. Big problems. 2 of my team mates moved to Texas. So that leaves me and the captain. So we picked up a great person to bowl with - he actually is buying a house from me as well. But then my wife wanted to bowl in the 4th slot but the captain's wife is trying to insert this very annoying person who is her friend - the guy buying the house from me doesn't like her either. My wife is pressuring me that either she bowls or none of us bowl. Time is ticking. League starts September 6. Not sure what I will do. Still not sure of my son's hockey schedule which may conflict anyways and give me an out. But I'd be heartbroken not to bowl with the captain and his son-in-law. Bad situation.

I really want to bowl 2 leagues. One is not enough to satisfy my crack like addiction to the sport or non-sport or whatever you call it - you know the one with the spherical object you roll or loft at wooden pins down some wood or synthetic wood with or without a spare ball - bowling as you flat landers would call it - an excuse to drink is what we call it.

Tuesdays yes with some of my USBC Nationals team mates.
Thursdays yes with my old friends for a fun league.
Saturdays(every 2 weeks) Travel league, possibly depends if my friend Mike decides to do it as well.

That is about it for this next year. Wifey wouldn't be too happy if I added any more. :cool:

[RobLV1]

I've got a very busy winter schedule planned this year. I'm bowling four daytime senior leagues: Monday Senior Men's Travel League (rotating among six different bowling centers), Wednesday Storm Doubles at Red Rock, Thursday Rock City Trios at Red Rock, and a Friday mixed handicap league with my wife and a couple with whom we've become friends at Suncoast. I like the fact that the leagues are during the day, but I will miss bowling with the kids at night like I am this summer. I guess I'll have to bowl more open tournaments on the weekends.

[mc_runner]

Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last year Tuesdays were more part-time for me, I'm going back full time this year. Always look forward to the fall leagues starting around this time of year... summer leagues are fine but they just aren't the same.

[Amyers]

I know I will be bowling the Friday night mixed league at my normal home lanes. I will bowl at least one other league but I don't know which yet. I would really like to add a third but I have to solve the problem with my thumb blistering first.

sounds like a pretty full schedule indeed! Rob you must love the sport!!! :rolleyes:

What I like about MY senior leagues around here is, they all start at 1pm! Wife is at work, and not home until around 4pm.

Standard fee around here for evening leagues is 15.00 bucks! (senior leagues 7.50, and 8.00 bucks)

I am thinking at this point in time bowling 5 leagues,,,,, 4 sanctioned, and one not. 3 senior leagues, and two evening sanctioned leagues.

Still,,,,,, t h i n k i n g.....about that Plattsburg league....:confused: long drive.......but wood lanes....

[mc_runner]

Go for it Iceman. You have the chance to do it and sounds like you really like the lanes, why not? Not doing it then regretting that decision is worse than trying it even if it's not what you thought... at least you know!

grrrrrrrrrrrr.... grrrrrrr..... Your using unfair torture ,,,,,,, tempting me !!! One thing, its only 8 bucks, not the standard 15! But that starting time of 7pm.... grrrrrr..... so fricken late!! 5 men teams,,,,, I would be there till 10pm..... then a 45 minute drive home.... grrrrrrrrrr,,,,grrrrrrr

But I know it (((( WOOD ))))) be a BLAST!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! What to do!!!!!!

[Hampe]

I'll be bowling the same two leagues as last year, the company sport league (on Thursdays since we moved up to division B :D), and the city league on Fridays. This year I've also signed up for a "formula 1" style league that is on Monday evening. It's a singles league where each round is played on a different WTBA pattern. You get points depending on where you place each round (1st is 25 points, 2nd is 18, 3rd is 15 and so on until place 10, which earns one measly point), and whoever has the most points at the end of the season is the winner (just like in formula 1 racing). I'm looking forward to it, my buddy did it last year and said it was quite challenging (I think the highest average in that league last year was 178!).

lol, iceman is ooooooooooooooooooooold! I would prefer like a 10pm start time. 6pm is NFG. 7pm would be better. If the music is too loud Iceman than you are too old.

thanks to college and the amount of time i'll have to put into homework and such i am restricted to only 1 league, i wish i could find a sunday afternoon league around here, but they are just non existent. i will be bowing on wood

[RobLV1]

The thing with the league fees in Senior Leagues is that they are all dependent on the type of league it is. If it's like last year, I'll be paying $16 on Mondays (I think we probably pay a little higher lineage in the different houses), $15 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and $10 on Fridays. The difference is that the first three are competitive leagues, and the Friday league is recreational. Most of the evening leagues here are at least $15 for the simple reason that the lineage is higher because the leagues are taking many more lanes away from open play that is much more profitable for the centers.

The good news is that all four leagues combined will cost me about the same as one round of golf during the peak seasons in the spring and fall.

[Jaescrub]

Just one getting the team
Back together ;)

[manke]

same here Jaescrub, i took a 2 year hiatus from bowling and now i'm gathering my team again and all i can think about is Thin Lizzy "The boys are back in town"

[circlecity]

I can't imagine not bowling in a league because of the NFL or any other sport.

Same here. Bowling above all else for me. :cool:

I can watch whatever game is on at the center between frames on their TV's if I need to.

[Konvict1982]

I can only afford to bowl in one league which will be doubles this fall however I will be on the sub list for every league I qualify for since I live literally 5 minutes from the alley.

[fortheloveofbowling]

In the past i would bowl 2 leagues but for the last several years and this season just 1. I do try to go out and practice 1-2 times a week and usually average 10-12 tournaments a year. With the extra weekend stuff it turns out to be the same as 2 leagues i guess. Good luck to everyone on the upcoming season!

[dnhoffman]

I'd do five if I could...

But a full time career, masters degree program, 9-mo old daughter, and coaching a hs bowling team on Sundays leaves me with about 1 night a week to bowl :(

[zdawg]

Definitely my Friday evening THS league, as this is the one that got me started bowling last season and have many friends. If I can find something on Wednesday nights, I'd like to add a Fall sports league/PBA experience league so we will see if I can find one.

[Jaescrub]

Ha ha ha that's great. I on the other hand have to think of a different song as we are three men and a lady ;)

[MICHAEL]

Oh the trials of being a superhero

thanks for your empathy, it really helps! After talking to Lee, the other co-operator of the Plattsburg Bowling alley, I have decided to do it FOR Sure, long distance and all. It will be a Cool Blast! We,,,,, both owners,,,,,, get along well! Bowing with them on the same team, on WOOD will be a first time for me! The fact that they change the length of the oil each week from 35, to 38, to 40 ft will be interesting. We start up 21 of August!

I know I will bowl 4 leagues this fall, but the others are not etched in Ice yet!

I just know I will not bowl Sunday, at all, and only before 3pm on Mondays! (Monday night football)! I have decided that Thursday night football, will just have to do without me! They do have a TV in the bowling area, so I am sure if its a GOOD GAME, I will be able to watch some of the game!

Senior leagues are great because they are 7.50, and 8.00 bucks here in Kansas city. The 8 buck leagues at Gladstone are sanctioned, where as the 7.50 at AMF are Non-sanctioned. lots to think about.

Time is running out.... need to decide, What, When, and Where,,,,, the 3 W's!!
