Thread: DV8 Misfit Club

  1. #1

    Default DV8 Misfit Club

    Went bowling Sunday at a bowling alley a little farther from me than my normal lanes and seen a flyer for DV8 practice league starting tommorow. It is a 14 week season with options at the end for a dv8 ball. For 12 a week you get a misfit, 14 they said mid range ball and 16 a hellraiser. Also you get 21 free games a week. I'm pretty excited as I haven't bowled in any sort of league since around 99. Plus its just score tracking and not really competitive so it seems good for me transitioning back into the sport. Anyone else have this in their area?

    I wish. About four years ago we had a summer league where we could pick a ball. I got a Hammer Hawg. Sounds like a decent deal to me. Enjoy, have fun and in the end get a new ball.

    Nothing quite that sweet. I'm in a 16 week "Lousy" Bowlers Club. Nonsanctioned, $11/week with passes for 6 free games per week. You get a plastic ball, $40 credit to the pro shop or a $40 visa gift card at the end. My wife and I are doing this league together. 3 weeks in. It's been fun so far. it's small though. 2 person teams and only 6 teams.

    This sounds like an awesome deal, would be a great way to get new bowlers to commit, new bowlers come for one season then leave far to often, if at the end of that season they are given a brand new ball it would give them a huge reason to come back.

    I wish we had some short seasons around here. We play 32 weeks.

    Well called alley next day to get some info and it was all full. Kinda hummed but at the same time the lanes are a bit of a drive for me.

    This season there were a lot of vacant teams and teams that were short players (hence me bowling 3+ night a week). A major factor for the lack of bowlers was the time commitment. You only need what 21 games to get an average? So you really only need 7 weeks splitting the league to 16 weeks would encourage more people to participate. I don't care one way or another, but with the dwindling bowling population you would think they would do everything in their power to encourage more people to join.,
