BowlingBoards.com Southern California Tour: Inaugural Season

[Aslan]

After our 1st Annual Invitational featuring Mike W., myself, and ZDawg…Mike came up with an idea to put a tour together a league where we could had more of a competition than just "one game champion".

So here is the initial proposal:

One game, 1st Saturday of each month starting in April. Bowling centers picked at random from all centers within 90 miles (or so) of San Diego; including lanes from SDUSBC, Citris Belt USBC, Northern and Southern LA USBCs, and OCUSBC. The first draw of Temecula Lanes will be thrown out. Multiple draws of the same lane will be drawn again:

April: Del Rosa Lanes, San Bernadino, CA
May: LaHabra300 Bowl, La Habra, CA
June: Brunswick Cal Oaks Bowl, Murrieta CA
July: Forest Lanes, Forest Lake CA
August: Councourse Bowl, Anaheim CA
September: Temecula Lanes, Temecula CA
October: AMF Hemet Lanes, Hemet CA
November: Yucca Bowl, Yucca Valley CA
December: Trevi Bowling Center, Lake Elsinore CA

Rules:
- Open to all BowlingBoard.com users.
- Initial average based on current USBC sanctioned average. If not currently carrying a usbc average, it'll be based on the previous year's USBC average. If that does not exist, then the highest current year league average will be used.
- After 2 competitions, tour average will be used.
- Handicap based on 90% of 220.
- Can re-schedule to an alternate Saturday with unanimous agreement of zdawg, MWhite, and Aslan.
- If unable to reschedule and unable to make it, you will bowl blank at 90% of your average (Tour Average if established).
- Bowling in one's own house (Aslan, August, Councourse Bowling Center I think is the only one on the schedule) costs you 10 pins handicap per game.
- Standard USBC rules apply.

There should be at least three games per event. I ain't driving all that way for one game.
Eliminate Del Rosa, it is in a bad part of town.
Since all members are eligible we need a way to mail in results
Averages should be highest usbc composite average (non sport) for last 3 years, not a tourney average
Handicap should be 90% of 250, so nobody will be over the base.
Eliminate the bowl blank part. If no scores for the month, not eligible for the months title.
When they do bowl again, use their last 5 events for a total.

If you let him in you gotta let me in too
there is 5 houses around here
I bowl league in 2 of them and I am in a travel league that rotates through 4 houses
there is one house in town I never bowl at

My book from last year is 186 Currently I have 189,191,196 in my three leagues.

I'm thinking with all the possible entries, we should just use the first league session of the month, wherever that happens to be.

We just need to find some agreed upon way of verifying the scores.

Assuming you are Noah McMillan, USBC Member ID: 9407-9166.

While you do have a 2012-2013 average of 161 for 42 games, you don't appear to be bowling in a sanctioned league in the 2013-2014 season.

Is this true?

My book from last year is 186 Currently I have 189,191,196 in my three leagues.

According to USBC:

2009-2010 182 for 246 games
2010-2011 175 for 24 games
2011-2012 None
2012-2013 186 for 94 games

That is ignoring the 168 average for 39 games in 2012-2013, because it is listed as a PBA Experience league. Sport condition scores are not included.

So your highest for the last 3 years is 186, as you stated.

Had 2009-2010 been your highest, I'm not sure if we should have included it…
It's your last 3 seasons, but 2009-2010 was 4 seasons back.

I guess that is something to be discussed.

In my case Member ID: 1560-11073

2011-2012 195 for 27 games
2012-2013 188 for 117 games
2013-2014 192 for 30 games

The question is when do we start using 2013-2014.
I feel if there is an average listed, it should be included as one of the 3 years.
I believe averages will be submitted on/about April 15th, even if the league hasn't completed.

no i am i have 3 things on there and my avgs arent on there i can grab a score sheet for u guys and take a pic they dont even have my youth avgs i bowled 5 years in youth and it only has one year i even did pepsi cola 2 times


it should have 2 leagues up there one at bz and one at rebmans

[tccstudent]

My tuesday night league is loaded on league secretary This one does not show individual game scores
My wednesday is NOT uploaded
My friday is uploaded on Bowl.com and this on will show the score of each game

So for me the travel league on friday night I can link the standing sheet and you would be able to see each game

[noeymc]

BZ is where my high avg of 188 is i wont be able to get a score sheet till i sub again that doesnt happen any more latly but it has over 35-40 games bowled in that house ill use that one cuz if i get out this up down slump i am in to use any of my other avgs i dont think would be fair granted its by far the easist shot in the world prob lol but i was avg 185+ every where till i hit a rough spot so if there no obj ill go with 188 at bz at rebmans i think my avg is 178? ( shot a 405 the worse i think ive bowled since i started bowling again lol so it droped from 180 to 178 lol and as u can see my 161 avg last year was at a very tough house its funny there where only 3 people with over 200 avgs 213 225( owner) 201 at the end of the season and it was everyones lowest avg i love house's like that to bad they closed
