Bowling - $20
Jackpots - $35
Tickets - $10
Drinks - $20
Total $85 and I don't get in all the jackpots. If I did it would be another 15-20.
I can't afford to bowl in more than 1 league a week.

Might be our jackpot costs are low.
things break out like this
king of hill 5
high game 3
mystery 3
brackets 5 per entry
last special 2
over average 3
strike pot 1
team 50/50 5 bucks per team per week
Like i said, i could bowl more brackets, but it defeats the purpose bowling against my teammates. I dont think we have more brackets just because there are so many high bowlers in the league and most guys are 160 to 170 shooters and know they have no chance.
its a small league - 18 teams, but its a cap league and the scores have been so high that we may have to change our format next year, or some teams may have to drop bowlers, the averages have gotten that high. Kegler, that bracket cost seems high to me, how much does your league charge for brackets, and whats the format?

We also run 9 man brackets starting in 2d game, pays $25, $10 & $5. Extra $5 goes to woman that runs the brackets for us each week.
League is made up of most of the higher average bowlers in the area, little tougher shot than normal. Normally 220-230 will win your bracket.

$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
