this weeks you bowl with joe scott mike and meg, ben is off. next week joe is off, the following week scott ect. the girl plays every week because she has to.
Need to drop a player. How to talk this out rationally.
Our league starts up this sunday. We have our 4 man team already. Emphasis on man. Got a call from the league director today telling me it's mandatory coed, can't have a team of all males or females. This means that we have to drop at least one person. My idea is to get everyone together and just find out who has the best options for getting picked up by another team and wish them the best. The other option is that me and my best friend break off and have our SO's join us leaving the other 2 guys to fend for themselves.
I've been over all the papers and this hasn't been mentioned once in any of them. Its a crumby thing to have dropped on you last minute, but that's life. Am I handling things in the right way or is there a better way to deal with this?

That is a great plan. I'll talk it over and see if it flys.
no reason it shouldn't. your only taking ever 4th week off with the rotation, and you still get to bowl with the people you want. plus it makes it easier if someone has something come up whether its an emergency, a family event, or a vacation or something. you have an extra player on the roster to fill in as opposed to hoping to find a sub or bowling with a blind
thats not a bad idea also help cut the league dues in half...only problem is if your guys dont like missing league ...like if they want to bowl every week
In my bag: Roto Grip Haywire, Ebonite Cyclone Gamebreaker, Brunswick danger zone vintage, Brunswick C-system Maxxed out and Columbia WD. High Game 300 (x3) high series 790...still searching for the 800.
it's once a month they take a week off. my friends had a team (brothers, cousin, and 2 other guys) then all the parents/uncles had another team. 5 man teams, both had multiple guys have to miss last season for various medical reasons, so they combined and had a 7 man roster with 6 regulars, and did the same thing, rotating weeks off. worked just fine for them, and they are all 190 or higher averages who all want to play every week
Another possibility is to have the low score sit out the next game. We did it back with 6 bowlers for a five man team and made sure that no one sat out more than one game.

not a bad idea i guess. assuming all the guys have averages that are somewhat comparable.Originally Posted by J Anderson
As long as it is a handicap league, it doesn't matter that much if the averages are close. The important thing is that everyone gets to bowl at least two games. No one I know wants to come and bowl only one game.

Rotating rosters have been around for years and they do work out very well. I'd rather sit out 1 week every 4 than to come down and only shoot 2 games. See what the others say and go by a consensus vote. If one person doesn't like the scheme, then you're back down to just 3 guys and a chick ! Problem solved.
