    Default First official day off league on Friday

    I'm starting a league Friday morning. First one this year and I have to say I'm a bit nervous. I never bowled in one with the brackets format before. New center, new people, new state and big money. I'll be on a team with my boss who's a pro. It's a lot of pressure especially since I have some kinks to work out.

    In practice I either kill it or totally suck these days. Sometimes in the same session. I'm not sure what to expect. I hear it's the biggest smack talking league we have too. The majority are 200+ average from what I understand. In with the big boys this time. Hope I can flip that competitive switch and do well, is a bit rusty. I'd rather walk away with some cash and dominate vs donate.

    Just remember that you've beat the pros before, so it's not like you don't have it in you to beat these guys! You've got this. :-)

    I'm sure I'll be able to hold my own. Hitting a few snags along the way is expected. As long as they are aren't too costly in the beginning. This is a great league. 1st place payouts 1k per man. 750 for 2nd.... That's pretty darn good. It's not even the highest payout league, kinda medium from what I understand around here. If that's the prize fund I can't wait to see the pots.

    Only drawback for me it's on Friday mornings so I have to work until 4 am then be back@9 to bowl. Coffee is my best friend these days

    Little change of plans... Make that Monday nights instead. Lol. Same league, same money, same everything, just a better time for me. Working until 4 am then getting a couple hours of sleep then waking up just to bowl league probably isn't in my best interest.

    My mind would be mush and I'd be too tired and goofy. I'm off on Mondays so I'm going that route instead
