Note while a lot of players use the terms interchangeably, a "BYE" and a "BLIND" are not actually the same thing.
NO, if you have a uneven number of teams you don't automatically win points when playing the nonexistent team. Most leagues use the "Earn the Points system" which means you have to score within 10 pins per player (unless the league specifies another number) of their average to win. (it's like bowling in a forfeit situation) See Rule 104d
(There are two other options the Draw and Bye system's, but given the information here you are not using those systems.)
Without knowing what averages this team established, we can't say if this is right or wrong.Week 3 they added a team team 13 and they bowled the team listed as BYE
The team recorded 4 wins with scores of 686 658 638 1982
Week 4 our team bowled the BYEOkay 576 would be the minimum scratch score needed to win points each game. (1728 for series)Our averages at the start of the night were 204 186 216 total of 606 - 30 576
(Okay I'm guessing here: you probably have about 54pins team hdcp. That means you needed a 630 hdcp score to win each game and 1890 for total)
Are those scores the scratch or handicap scores?We recorded 2 wins and 2 unearned points with scores of 715 600 617 1932
If those are handicap scores, Depending on your team handicap I'll take a guess you won the first game and total and lost games 2&3.
The new team did have averages.So by what scoring method would they will all 4 and us "lose" 2 games
If we have to be our avg less 10 pins per man we won all games
If it's a BYE we won all 4 games
If we have to beat the 220 / 660 we won 2 and lost 2 .......but they had 2 games where they didn't beat 660
and how the heck do you have the new team play the bye and beat their averages, when they have no average.....they did specify no
book avg were used and avg was set the first night of bowling.
I think something is screwed up here.......
Thoughts ?
Depending on your league rules for entering averages, they either had a book average or they established a average that first night.
Since you say they established average the first night, that's the averages the wins would be based on.
The scores being showed for the "Bye" team are meaningless. (or at least should be)On the screen it showed the BYE team as bowling 150 plus 70 handicap for a 220 / 660 series
If your league posts scores to leaguesecratery, post a link to the recaps and we could take a look to see whats happening .
