the league i bowl in you have to use last years average for the first 7 weeks. they say its to prevent sandbagging. i think 7 weeks is a bit excessive since it is 20% or 1/5 of our league which is 35 weeks. i can see maybe 4 weeks but 7 weeks seems too long. they almost voted to stretch it to 8 weeks, but it didnt pass. just wondering what was the standard out there.
