Banning smoke breaks makes for jittery bowlers. I know the one league I sub in takes a 15 minute break between games. But it's the entire league and they are cool with it. They also don't care if your ball bounces out of the gutter and picks up the spare.
I guess the point I am trying to make is, in my opinion, if you average 200 or over, you shouldn't get any help via handicap. I do understand there are people who can average 245-250 but they aren't in my league. Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees.
Uncertified leagues can do whatever they want. Certified leagues have rules and must abide to them.Originally Posted by foreverincamo
Do you get a warm up ball between games? If my league did that half would quit because it would get done too late. Some have to get up a 5-6 A. M. and running over 30 minutes to smoke is not going to work when we don't start until 8 P.M.
It doesn't matter if you are 180 or 240 if you use team average. WTH either bowl or smoke don't mix up which one you came to the center for.
What matters is if your team (in your league) exceeds 1100 in average.
The problem is the same, different methods just make it less likely to exceed the threshold.
Not allowed to start the season over 1050. During the year can't add any bowler that would put you over 1050. To get over 1050 you would have to have someone go up 50 pins or have the team as a whole go up 50.
No warm up shots between games, and it's only a trios league so even though we start warmups around 7 and have a half hour of smoke breaks and beer runs, we're done by 9:30. Which is good considering it's a 40 minute to get home
If it works for you guys the that is great. I think I would have a melt down.
