What would you want in a new league

[JAnderson]

JJ,

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

Let's say your league fees are $15/night/per bowler with $11 going to the house, .$25 going to the secretary, and $4.75 going to the prize fund. You would split up that $4.75 so that some of it paid the nightly prizes and some of it paid for the year-end prizes. Yes, the year-end prizes would be smaller, but everyone would have a chance to earn money each night. The full prize fund is still paid out, but at different times.

My Monday night league is 26 teams of 4 people. Let's say out of the $4.75 prize fund we take $1.75 for the night prizes and $3.00 for the year end.

Each night there would be a prize fund of $182 (26 x 4 x $1.75)

You might break it down like:

Total Available: $182
High Team Game of night, handicap: $60 ($15 per bowler)
High Team Series of night, handicap: $60 ($15 per bowler)
High Individual game, handicap game 1: $10
High Individual game, handicap game 2: $10
High Individual game, handicap game 3: $10
Mystery Series Score: $32 (must bowl the exact series)

Heck, you could even have the mystery series score carry over to the next week if no one breaks it; it would help encourage new league members.

With the same numbers as above, for a 35 week league, the end of year prize fund would contain 10,920. Not great, but not bad either.

Just gives you an idea of different things that can be done.

suck if you bowled a blind that night and had to sit around to get paid...lol

Doh! We need honest secretaries who will hold the money for you until the following week!
