Need a fall league suggestion !
« on: August 02, 2003, 09:14:33 PM »
We have an open night at our center and we are looking for some ideas. We want this to be a singles scratch league. Has anyone bowled in one of these before? If so how was it structured as far as points, matchups ? We have a rough plan right now, but we have never had a singles league around here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just find out how many bowlers you will have, contact your local ABC office and get a schedule for that many bowlers and it will be set up already.

We did it in match play form, person vs person, each game one point and total one point.

Another thing we are considering adding this year is one of 2 things----
making it strictly one ball per night, or retro-----plastic, rubber, urethane only allowed. Scratch bowlers should be good enough to bowl with this equipment as well.

A SINGLES league? Sounds to me like KING OF THE HILL! If I'm right you ought to check with STRIKINMACHINE .. he controls the BBR SUMMER King Of The Hill .. he can probable give you pointers .. I know SRKEGLER defined the format one time .. but I've forgotten how it works. A league in this format sounds interesting!

Here is some of what we have been thing about so far. Making it sort of match play ( king of the hill), but against a field of 7 others. While also moving a pair to the right after each game. It would be 3 games against the same 7 bowlers each week. Here is an example tell me what you think?

4 bowlers on lane   1
4 bowlers on lane   2  etc. etc.

High game = 7 pts. second highest 6, 5 etc.
Low Game = 0 pts
23 points max if you win all three games with 2 bonus points included for high series on pair.    Thanks to all who reply

BUD .. I haven't given it much thought but I THINK your proposal makes the Highest average the winner .. pretty hard to lure bowlers to that format .. it's OK for tournaments but NOT LEAGUE (in my opinion).

Could you have the schedule based on AVERAGE .. one man on a lane (8 bowlers takes 8 lanes). Highest average and 2nd highest on lane 1. They compete against one another. Points 2 for winner 1 for loser. Rotate lanes each game same players. At end of season winner will be bowler with MOST ACCUMULATED POINTS.

Again .. haven't given it much thought .. but I DON'T BELIEVE THIS FORMAT FORCES THE HIGH AVERAGE IN THE WINNER POSITION. However I'm not sure! It probable has the same bowlers bowling one another each week .. but it should be competitive!

Just throwing out a quick thought ..I like the idea of a SINGLES LEAGUE!
