Look into it. Our scratch league is 170 to sign up. This year 185 is the lowest average in the league. We've also had years where it was lowered to 165 just to get enough bowlers.
To put it in perspective 233-235 usually leads the association. The association (men's) average is 162 with a median of 158.
Last season we went to an easier pattern resulted in 18 300 games by 9 different bowlers and 3 800 series by two different bowlers. A huge increase of our ten year average of one 300 game per season and four 800 series in that ten year period.
