What would you want in a new league

I found something pretty cool. I got a flyer from the center I'm bowling at this summer. For league bowlers returning in the fall the center has offered to pay linage for anyone who has lost their job...or loses their job during the season.
I thought that was a nice idea...it's refreshing to see a center that cares about it's bowlers.

The league I bowl in now is an all Men's League and it is very competive. I like that feature the most. I also enjoy bowling with the guys on my team so it's fun whether we win or lose. It always nice too win but we all know you can't win all the time.

Yea, having the same shirts, make you feel like you are apart of something and you want to do you best.

Ive yet to joind a league that the teams wear the same shirts.
I think I would like that.
And that way you can put all the k00l patches you earn to show off =)

I sew my patches onto my bowling bag....got nowhere else to put em

I think its pretty cool when all the teams wear there shirts on a bowling league night. l think it builds espirit de corp and builds commeradie amongst the teams bowling. My current team does not have shirts as of yet due to a new team sponsor.

Also how do you feel about team shirts in bowling leagues?

Love them - I'm old school that way.

If you guys could start a new league, what would be somethings that you would add or what would be some new things that would make you want to join the league?

I'd like to see a portion of the prize fund paid out nightly instead of saving it all up for the end of the year. We are currently enjoying a league this summer that does just that and I find it refreshing to have a chance to win a little money every night.

I like it when the house gives a little back to the bowlers - such as a free soft drink when all members of the team strike in the same frame or pitch in some extra cash for the prize fund for big leagues. It doesn't need to be huge for the bowlers to appreciate it.

Get rid of 50/50. Blech. Yes, I know, it increases prize fund, but so does increasing league dues and it is fair across the board instead of only punishing the greedy

Crazy format, blind-draw-doubles, end of year tournament. Something that is meant to be fun and allow members of different teams to get to know one another. It creates league cohesion and encourages repeat customers.

JJ,

How does the nightly payout system work? Every league I have bowled on has always paid out at the end of the season.

We always have a fun bowl at the end of the season its free and have diffrent things like lowest score ect
