Did your league cancel the season?
« on: March 30, 2020, 10:13:36 AM »
Ohio is in shut down mode. Where I bowl many leagues are cancelling the season (about 5-6 weeks left). I haven't heard on my Sunday trio league which is my only league but I would be fine finishing during the summer but I doubt we will.

What are your leagues doing?

My sport league deferred a decision until we know when the lanes could re-open.

when things closed in my area it was originally until April 1st.  it wont reopen then as things have only gotten worse in regards to COVID-19


Many other leagues in my area did just cancel the remainder of their seasons.

I’m in Ohio as well. So far - on hold. With the new guidelines of social distancing through at least April 30 - and probably longer - I would assume most leagues will cancel the rest of the season. I hope not but we shall see.

I'm sure my Wednesday and Friday leagues will.  It's not official yet but why the hell wouldn't they just do it now and distribute $?

I do hope the summer sport trios league will go.  I do enjoy that league......but we're kinda slave to the whole situation.

Maybe they don’t have all the money? I don’t mean theft, I mean some teams like my team pay out the league in full months in advance. I know some guys who pay by the week up
Until the last week. Pretty easy to make an error handling cash in a situation like that.

The house still shows a "tentative" reopen date of April 1st. We had 6 weeks left when the doors closed.

Ironically, the house has a redesigned website this morning, but the same info for covid-19.

With my current workload and classes, I'm all for ending the season as we stand now. I'm also expecting to hear from USBC that the Open Championships are cancelled, although I wonder how well they will weather the loss of income the tournament brings in each year. Perhaps Chad will take a pay cut...probably not.

Both leagues are split into halves, so I'd assume each would pay out the first half accordingly. 

For the second half.........I would assume refund 100% for everyone that paid out for weeks not bowled, then just payout a prorated amount based on current standings?

My Friday league actually has..........wait for it.........outside sponsors that have contributed to our prize fund.  Owner/league secretary does a GREAT job (have to give credit where it's due).

I have thought about that one as well. I'm in two leagues and have paid both in full already. But I know several bowlers who were behind when it shut down. For us, it's not even team by team, but bowler by bowler. I paid three weeks for one of my teammates and he was still behind.

Off handed question, but valid; If any of you had to guess, what percentage of you, think the stimulus package, will HELP these owners of the bowling alleys? (The maximum amount given to them?).

Our sport league is just on hold at the moment. Potential options of finishing last 7 weeks or going straight into playoffs when we can start back up.

Hope seems to be beginning of May for most things to open back up

I can’t answer that, Bowlero seems to own everything, there’s maybe 2 non corporate centers. One I’m certain will drown, they were hemorrhaging money before this.
