You do have to understand that bowling is nearly a "seasonal" sport. Take into account the amount of bowlers that do NOT participate in summer leagues at all.
We had a secondary scratch league in our house that folded. Now they have to bowl with the Steve Cook Classic Singles league and just hope they can average over 235 to made a dent in the cash. And next season, since the fall Steve Cook leauge is a draft, that they might have impressed somebody enough to take them on for the fall season.
