Title: Do any of you.....
Post by: Rock77 on January 24, 2004, 04:13:17 AM: Have a team kitty that you put money into every week?? The money that goes in is based on your performance or non-performance on the lane. Here is how ours works:

Missed spare - dime
Get Hung - quarter
Three Strikes - Everyone pays a quarter
Every Strike after 3 - additional quarter for everyone
Gutterball on first ball of frame - a dollar

Do you guys do this as well?? Its fun, we split the money at the end of the year and get it all back. What are the payouts you guys use??

Missed spare(10cents)
Missed single pin(35cents)

Post by: Rock77 on January 24, 2004, 07:41:23 PM: Yeah, I am not the worst bowler on our team so he usually has to put up about $10 a night. I also made a mistake, we pay .50 cents for hanging.

Get hung 50

Post by: Porkchop on January 25, 2004, 05:01:18 PM: We play cards. It cost's $1 to get in. Draw one card per mark, two for a double, one for a split conversion. You can only have 5 cards in your hand at any one time. We also have a $1 high game pot.

Post by: Doc Hollywood on January 25, 2004, 06:06:08 PM: our team used put in a quarter every time you didn't bowl your average. At teh end of the year we would go out to dinner and if by chance there wasn't enough money we split the difference.

Post by: MSC2471 on January 26, 2004, 12:37:15 AM: We have a running skins game with strikes. Everyone puts in $3 at the beginning of the night. Each frame is worth $ .50. If one player gets a strike, they win the pot, if no strikes or 2 strikes appear in the frame, there is a carryover. We carry over until the 10th frame of the 3rd game- then if more than one player strikes the pot gets split based on the people that strike in that last frame. Sometimes the pots get over $10 due to all the carryovers.

Post by: LuvThatWhiteDot on January 26, 2004, 08:07:50 AM: We play poker and have the "Miss Money" pot.

Poker is $1.00 a game, and a card can be drawn for a spare or strike. If you start stringing strikes you can take two cards until the strike-string is broken. High hand wins.

The Miss Money is el-cheapo, but we like it that way

On a 5-woman team, if we all mark, everyone chips in a dime.

If 4 mark and one has an open, that person chips in a dime.

If all 5 strike, up the ante to a quarter per person.

If 4 strike and the other one spares, only that person pays a quarter and everyone else chips in dimes.

If 4 strike and the other one opens, only that person pays a quarter.

Miss your average -- chip in another dime.

We split the money 5 ways at the end of the year. Usually each person gets back around $30.00. I haven't figured out if it's from good bowling or BAD bowling
