Bowlmor Bites!!

I'm hearing the same thing is happening in the orlando area. They have all the AMF and Brunswick centers under their umbrella and been pushing leagues out.

I think that's why the UBA had to move battle bowl to Delaware.

Yeah I heard they were converting Carolier I was shocked. They only had the women's US Open last year. From what I hear about Carolier since it's so big. The upper level is being converted to a family fun center and the lower level will still be around for leagues.

Yes, they are converting the lower level to leagues, however they're cherry-picking the leagues that stay. The membership of my league has been fluctuating, and it's at a low point right now. We made the move to 3 man teams. Bowlmor only wants 5 person teams. We have a meeting Wednesday to decide our fate.

Bowlmor really sucks!!! I bowl in a Practice Plus league at my local Brunswick Zone and we're supposed to get 2 coupons with 3 free games each week. Just found out tonight the corporate office is no longer going to send those coupons to the center any more and we're in the middle of the summer league. The general manager there gave us all the summer passes instead to make up for it.

With Bowlmor purchasing Brunswick I would have thought they would push leagues more. I know the bowling side of Brunswick isn't the money maker but with all those products it just doesn't seem logical.

I was thinking about that. Quite a few league bowlers always pick up the latest in balls and other equipment from their favorite manufacturer. If leagues are cut back, wouldn't that hurt the manufacturers of that equipment? I was going to pick up a new roller bag to replace the 4 ball roller that I've had for 20 years. I was also going to replace a ball in my arsenal. That plan may go out the door depending on the decision tomorrow night at the league meeting.

Valid points Aslan, but I'd much rather look at Kimberly and just listen to Randy.

Ok some more Bowlmor bites news. My center has a practice league and the deal is $12 for 4 games and they give you 2 tickets with 3 free games each. Bowlmor corporate decided that they are no longer giving out those coupons. We were in the middle of a summer practice league and the local GM had to give us all summer passes to make up for it but there won't be a practice league going forward.

The latest chapter in the saga. One of the league members heard that Bowlmor was rethinking their stance on leagues. We went back to ask if we could get a slot at a decent time. They nixed Weds. night because we would be bowling on the side where they have open bowling. They did offer us Sunday at 7PM. We would lose half the league if that happened. We decided to take Stelton up on their offer. We just have to replace the teams that had to drop because of the change in night. The bad part about this whole deal is that Weds night is now open for me to take dancing lessons with the wife.
