We don't have sweeps here but even during the summer one of the Wednesday leagues pays out $1500. Fall leagues it's not hard to find ones paying out 5k for first. My win lose or drawl league paid out 2k and that's an individual award.

Is it a USBC sanctioned league?
If so...then I complain to the League President that there's obvious sandbagging going on and ask that the person be formally warned and that further blatent cheating lead to his dismissal from the league.
I've seen this before...it annoys me. I've seen it on my own team (I posted about this a month or so ago). I don't do it. And I have no respect for those that do.
We have a bowler on Tuesdays that is easily...easily the most skilled bowler in the league. Is rev rate and power combination or in line with PBA pros. And each year he wins $400-$1200 at sweeps. And each year he sandbags during the season. But in all honesty...I can't complain too much...because last season despite his sandbagging efforts...he had the highest average in the league. It's hard to call the league leader in average a sandbagger. And after he cleared another $1000 last season...I said to myself..."that's okay. Someday...I'm going to be better than him...and I'm going to beat him at sweeps...and I'm going to enjoy, even more than the money, the fact that I caused him to waste 32 weeks of his life sandbagging...and get nothing out of it.
And the female bowler that has cleared $250-$750 each year at sweeps...she even admitted she sandbags during the season...that she doesn't really care until sweeps.
It's sad and lousy and makes ya really question the society we live in. But, yeah...if I saw something blatent...and it wasn't on my team...I'd report it to the league President. If it was on my own team...I probably would not be on that team the following season. But if it's a non-sanctioned league or no-tap...then that's just imaginary bowling anyways so it really doesn't matter.

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
No-Tap, or non-sanctioned doesn't matter if you're playing for non-imaginary money.
I got my first PBA check two weeks ago for finishing 2nd in a no-tap Pro -Am….so THAT no-tap thing…it mattered. But other than that…no.
Congratulations on the winnings. It's fun to play no tap games sometimes to see the expression on peoples faces when you bowl an 800 series.
I would of done nothing............it's summer league and he still will be using 205 (if that's his highest) at tourney's. I'll feel bad for his teammates if he threw games away.....
