A question for bowl1820 or anyone that knows the rules

Bowlmor HQ said no more buffer lanes, I was told this last Month or after Easter...

We don't have much of a problem with this. We only have 24 lanes. Both my leagues fill the whole house. Also the manager bowls in both leagues and would always put in a two lane buffer anyway.

Which is yet another nail in the coffin for Bowlmor...

A quality center won't need to be told or asked to do this...they will understand the need for it. I've seen more than one fight occur between league bowlers and open/casual bowlers when the buffer lanes aren't present. You end up losing league bowlers and turning off casual bowlers to the sport.

Then there's the logistics of it...what if a pair of lanes break down? The buffer lanes are the reserve lanes should there be a problem. No buffer lanes, and you have a pair breakdown...you have two teams waiting 30-60 minutes for repairs. What if the center does stupid glow/laser bowling right after league play? Does that get delayed while the final teams finish bowling on the repaired lanes?

If league bowlers are feeling disrespected by Bowlmor or other centers...obviously they should take their business (and $$$) elsewhere. It's the only language businessmen understand. If you live in an area with too few centers to move...just convince the entire league to take a season off...then renegotiate.
