New season and some changes to the league format.
Due to Bowlmor's continuing war on league bowlers, our local independent house now has 3 leagues of 5 person teams using 48 lanes. The sport league has been restricted to a mere 8 lanes, and moved from four bowlers per pair to a maximum of 6. In the interest of finishing in a reasonable amount of time we eliminated moving between sets and stay on the same lanes all night.

I'm planning on bowling in a sport league this coming summer. They change the pattern every 3 weeks. Is that the way they all work ? I've never done one before.
I can't answer for other centers. I believe the only requirements for sport leagues are that the Bowling Center and the league be sport certified and that all the bowlers in the league upgrade their USBC memberships to Sport. Some part of this requires that at least one lane is taped each week to prove that the oil pattern is sport compliant.
As far as I know, they could run the same pattern every week or they could run a different pattern each week. Since either of these extremes would lead to dissatisfied bowlers, the league I bowl in will generally use the same pattern for 3 to 4 weeks and then change. The only exception is when a pattern is only used one week and that would be for an end of season roll-off. By the way, we had one season where one pattern was used on the odd lanes and a different pattern was used on the even lanes.
