I don't bowl as much as I use to but when I can just hanging around the center I hear other bowlers complain about good bowlers bowling on the same team year after year but it's the handicapped team that wins the league majority of the time.
I have heard this many times. I went to leaguesecretary to look up the final sheets for our local mens handicap league to see how the top five and bottom five average teams fared thru the years.
