How much $ do you spend on league night?
« on: February 14, 2004, 09:02:55 PM »
Just wondering how much you folks were spending on average in your league nights.  My wife thinks im on the high side,  I tend to think im pretty average.  I can afford to spend the cash so to me its not really a big deal.      

Bowling - $15 a week league fee
Jackpots - brackets, mystery, overaverage, strike pot, team 50/50  $15
tickets - 50/50 and lucky strike - usually $5,  we throw in as a team
Beer - usually around $10 to $15.

Right around $50  

Is this about what most of you guys/gals go through?  Help me out here folks,  im trying to win an argument.  lol

Yeah...24 team 5 man handicap league.  Cannot convince these people to go for brackets or sides

$10 league fee
$5 50/50
$5-10 for beer ($3.50 pitchers and if everyone buys one the night is just about over)

10 team doubles scratch league.  Sometimes there is a high game pot that is $5 for the night.  Usually only pays 6 a game and 12 for series.

$16 league fee
and thats it.

I try to keep it under $40 a week, sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't.  Depends if I end up in the bar to play darts and ntn triva after league or not.

for a college student, it is probably a bit much per week for me esp since I have $400 in expenses enough outside of bowling and only make about $350 a month...lol

My mens league

bowling is 10
beer 5
50/50 5
strike pot 1
card game 3

so 24

Mixed league

Bowling is 19
card game for both 19
beers I don't even want to count
food  man who knows my wife and I sit there for hours with friends after we bowl
I just figured out something my mixed league costs way to much.
--------------------
I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
