Now for a little information we have our summer league that is a sanctioned
league but it is house run all we have is the league secretary no other officers
like president, vice president or anything.
Now as for my question isn't there a rule that says there is to be at least one
open lane or two between a sanctioned league and open bowlers?
Our center has started putting open bowlers right next to the league and some
of the bowlers are starting to get a little upset with them doing that so should
we all go to the management and complain or are they allowed to do that since
it is a house run sanctioned league?

Okay thanks bowl1820 I didn't know if there was a rule or not but
what I did know was that you'd know the answer for sure. LOL!!!!
Guess we'll all have to get together and go talk to the management
and see what happens.

Maybe there should be a rule, it's certainly a little disadvantage for the teams bowling next to a bunch of teenagers goofing around, the places I bowl have always left a pair open between the league and open bowlers .....works pretty good !
You can ask the center to give you a buffer pair of lanes. If they say no they have a right. You only contracted to rent 20 lanes or what ever the league needs. I suppose you could rent the other pair. But the house is in business to make money. You don't even have the right to ask that no one practices on your lanes before you start. Remember your league has the right to move to another center is there are any with openings.
If we were so lucky as to have another center to choose from we only have
the one so guess we're stuck with whatever they want to do with the lanes.
Hmmmm..........maybe it's time for me to make a trip to the bank to see if
I could get the financing for a new center or find some investors willing to
invest in it also.

one of the houses in my area (not one I will be bowling league at) announced that starting Fall 2017, leagues will have to pay for one or two buffer lanes to guarantee the buffer.

On Mondays our center has three different leagues bowling at the same time, taking up all 56 lanes. The last several seasons the sport league has been cut from 12 lanes w/ 2 bowlers per lane to 6 lanes w/ 3 per lane, and has been asked to not bowl on Martin Luther King day and during school vacations. My other leagues generally have had a pair of lanes as a buffer since theystart at odd times, one at 4p.m., and the other at 9p.m. The afternoon league did have a few weeks when the high school teams literally surrounded us. Evidently it was easier to put the JV teams on either side of us than move our league to either end of the house.

Being that all the houses in WY are fairly small (my local house is a whole 16 lanes), we don't allow any open bowling until the league is done, even if there is open lanes further down. Even if you have to go down and pre-bowl or make up games, they keep a buffer, as they are bowlers too and it's a respect thing. Although, I did have to pre-bowl in the dark one time last season as we split our youth leagues seasons up and it was their "fun" day, but, it was my choice as that was the only time I had available to bowl
