Disclaimer: I am not a league secretary, nor have I started any leagues.
1. You need to recruit enough bowlers so you can have enough teams so it doesn’t feel like you’re bowling against the same team every week. I would start by talking to someone in your personel/human resources department. At the very least, you would need permission to use the company name in the name of the league. In the early 20th century there was a fair ammount of research that linked providing recreational and social activities for employees to increased productivity. H.R. may be able to help publicize your league within the company.
2. Someone has to keep track of averages and standings. Many bowling centers are set up todo this for the leagues that bowl there, so there isn’t nearly as much work forthe league secretary to do.
3. Someone has to collect the money and pay the bills. I have bowled in two different leagues where the money envelopes for each team were turned in to the the control desk at the center, not the treasurer.
Your questions of, “is it worth the trouble?”, “Too much work?”, can really only be answered by you after you’ve given it a try.
