I was just wondering if anyone bowls in any, or knows of any weird or different formats for leagues. Just something different from the normal, standard league plan. Both of my scratch leagues that I bowl are a bit different.
My Monday night one is a four man team, and everyone bowls three games. The teams get points for individual wins and the team wins as any other normal league does. Then there is a fourth game, where it then turns into doubles, and each week each team picks the two bowlers to bowl that fourth game for the week. The same standard for points then apply for that game. By the end of the season, all bowlers on a team must have the same amount of games bowled, meaning every bowler then bowled the same amount of doubles games. It is really fun, but sucks to sit out the fourth game whenever you have too, but it is also cool to sit and root on your team.
My Wednesday scratch league is a little harder to describe. It is an individual scratch league, and it is set up into 3 divisions based on averages. The divisions are Gold, Silver, and Bronze. I think Gold is 215 average and up, then 200-214, and 199 and below. Each week you bowl the first two games against someone who you just match up against in your division and you get a point for each game won. The last two games you move pairs and you bowl anyone, no matter what division, but it is based on the total series you shot the week prior. So if you shot 900 last week, then you are bowling the person who shot the next closest setlast week as well. You also get bonus points for shooting the high game, high series, and most pins over your average in each division, each week. So there is a total of 7 points every week. Hope I didn't make that to hard to understand.
Anyone else?
