in league bowling? Especially during 3-5 man teams. What do you think would be sufficient time to bowl?

Forget the shot clock -- just get people more comfortable with waiting one lane on either side ::grumble::

Two weeks into my new league on Friday the anchor on my team is already Making Friends and Influencing People by waiting one lane on either side and ticking off the long-time league members. However, our bylaws state in two different places that it's okay to wait one lane on either side. It'll make the rest of the year interesting, to say the least

We have one guy in my Tuesday night league (he also bowls Monday night in the other house I bowl in) that we like to call the human rain delay, as he takes at least 35-40 seconds from the time he's up on the approach to the time he goes into his steps. I always make sure I spend more time processing my next shot before I even step on the approach when he is up and I have to go on the opposite lane as him...

just me venting but i think a larger scale shot clock should be imposed. by that i mean you need to be at your pair when it is your turn. you get one or two freebies a week and then your frame is voided. my summer league people wander around like they are searching the desert for water. multiple lane pot & poker games, people getting food, drinks & smoking, and the guys who run the pot games getting all the scores. i am not a good bowler but i am there to learn and get better. not to eat chicken wings. then to top it off my lead bowler waited till everyone 16 lanes in each direction had finished their frame. i was often ready to launch my foot up into a non-sun-seeing area of her body.

It would be distracting. Who would enforce it? How long would it be? Sometimes you want to discuss something with a teammate. This is suppose to be enjoyable. People taking their time on tha approach slow the game down less than those running all over the center. Bowling is not like castor oil, hurry up and get it over with.
