Pre Bowling Vs Just Carrying YOUR AVERAGE~

[JaMau24]

What rule? I didn't see any post and have never heard of a John Anderson from Connecticut before in my life lol

Guess as a league president I will have to look into it further. The reasons given by the rules make sense but some people think going out to eat is an emergency.

Well maybe it is! Maybe it's an important business meeting.. Maybe its a dinner with a hot date. I see the two equally as important

I think a league should be able to make the rules on Pre/Post bowling at the league meeting befroe bowling starts. And,,, anybody that thinks Pre/Post is ok, should be eliminated!,,,,, from the bowling league that is!! average, average, average!!! whats wrong with average being used when you don't feel like bowling!
I keep hearing it's the paying for the games..... If thats it, you should be allowed to have those games as practice. Does this seem unfair? If so on what planet?
I am new to bowling, but except for extenuating circustances, like LIFE or Death, (where post bowling would be out of the question, less Zombie bowling), A bowler should be there, or carry his current average.... No cheating..... No benifit, No disadvantage! Bill I know you don't like it and your the president!!!
get this changed ok?? thanks... LOL..... I feel better now.... Wow... feel like a huge heavy stone has been lifted ,,,, (did you hear that Jason)!! Only I can
lift the stone or move it grasshopper!!! lol

If I understand the rules correctly, ( good chance that I don't, given the number of times I've read rules explained at BOWL.com and thought how in the world can it mean that!) Leagues can ban bowling unopposed while pre or post bowling. In other words, the team that needs to pre or post bowl would have to do it when the team they were scheduled to bowl against can field a legal line up, so both teams bowl on the same lanes, same conditions. Almost as fair as anyone could want.

I would agree with that john! Either that or carry average! Bill, Mr. President, please get this matter worked out! lol

Mike, whatever I get worked out won't affect you unless you're planning to drive over every other Saturday to bowl in our league. It's just a league president not President of the USBC lol

Maybe you should focus more on your bowling and less on this so you can beat Jason. Two losses in a row. I'm shocked. I bet my imaginary money against you both times but never thought I would win both times!

I know your a league pres,,,, I am a league vp for the over the hill gang at are AMF. I am not sure why, Jason didn't post the pictures of some of my better( practice warm up games , a 225, and a 251.)
and a few other 200 games,,, maybe jason will put then up tomorrow. We both bowled much better then the last game during warm up. But when we say this is it, last game, thats it... and it did not reflect some of the good scores we had! O Well..... always next week.... I honestly think that when we bowl, flip a coin! I started out hot in that last game, two strikes in a role,,, but then as you know, bowling can throw you a curve, and it wound up being one of my worse games that day!

I have won 3 and Jason 2. Jason is one hell of a bowler! I am to old to get that excited, but Jason has his whole life ahead of him, I Just want that 300, which I have been close to on many occasions.... 268s 289s,,, 250.. and last june the 298 in league! Thats my goal....the 300 and the 700 series. Last year I bowled in pain with the RA,,, many times I thought I would have to quite, but I kept at it! This year I feel 50 percent better in that respect. So who knows!
Any way thanks for all your help, and I will try to get him next week .....

My league just had a post bowl issue come up this past week. An entire team couldn't make due to work, being busy, or whatever and called the center to see about making it up the next league ought. Here's where the mistake was made. They talked to a girl at the counter who said she would leave a note about it. First they should have asked to speak to a manager about this. Second is they could have called on league night and talked to the league secretary. What was decided was they had to talk to the league officers and see about a vote. However the league officers all agreed that if the team they were suppose to bowl against agreed them they could make up the week they missed that same night. The other team agreed and once everyone was finished that night the two teams bowled three more games against each other.

I think they should not have been allowed to do this. This would fall under a post bowling situation. Any thoughts? Where the league officer right in allowing this?

It really depends on how the league rules are written. My sport league allows no pre or post bowling due to the hassle of having to have a sport pattern put down. My Wednesday night league specifies that the league secretary and opposing captains be informed of the need to pre or post bowl before the scheduled bowling, and give their consent. Only the league secretary contacts the center to schedule the pre or post bowling.

If the league doesn't have rules in writing then the USBC rules apply. Given that the league board of directors left it up to the opposing team and all parties agreed, it sounds fair enough. This is where the team captains have input but many are too afraid to rock the boat to oppose what they are really against.
