Okay guys, I'm really trying to figure out how to get this off my chest without venting too much emotion in this post.  Since day one to about week eight or nine on this league, the stats have been messed up.  I was hounding the secretary and the manager of the bowling center about this error for about five or six weeks straight before there were any corrections made.  They finally got it together and fix the stats until just about two weeks ago to be exact.  That day two weeks ago, I was like how in the he** are they going to jacked up the stats again?  So again, I brought it to the attention of the manager since everything is supposedly done on their computer and he said, he'll look into it.  Another week passed and nothing was done about it again, so I spoke up and he said the same thing about looking into it.  Yesterday, I came in and saw it was still messed up and went to the front desk and asked for the manager, and supposedly he quit or got fired, but who cares.  So, I asked who do I need to talk to about the errors on the league statistics sheet?  The guy said, me.  So to speed things up a little bit.  So, the assistant manager didn't know what the he** was going on, so we both went to the president, because things didn't look right to him.  So, the president told me and him that there was a team that withdrew from the league and that their handicap and averages were all messed up.  So the stats was adjusted from the point of where the error occurred he stated; Which I don't know when exactly it happened during this twenty week league, because I didn't bother to ask.  So basically in all it affected a bunch of teams fighting for the top including my team and which was in second place; We got bumped from second to fifth place.  My team has been in the top three places for over eight weeks straight and we been grinding it out every week.  Now all of a sudden, we are in fifth and this team that was in tenth or eleventh place gain eight wins and jumped straight into first place...WTF, I know right!  My team won four games prior to this error occurring and my team stats did not even show up; The statistical paper said we lost one game from our total wins that we already accumulated.  This is the first league, I've joined since 1999 and it has been a horrible experience.  I have no idea where to start or how to dispute this situation.  My big problem is this league has been so unorganized with everything from day one.  It all started with the stats been messed up for so many weeks in the beginning, and opps, I forgot to mention that the prize funds sheets didn't even come out until week ten to be voted on. Now that the league is about three weeks from finishing, here comes another monkey wrench in the mix.  This change was done without anybody knowning a thing.  I am the team captain for my team and I really need some help from ya'll true vets on the board.  How would ya'll approach this situation, and is there anything I can do about this, is this right or fair by any means?  Is there any rules or regulations out there against can challenge or dispute all of this stuff that has been going on, on my league?  

Thanks for taking the time to read this posted and for all the comments and responses.  

Again Thanks a lot guys!

As badly as things are messed up, I think someone's going to have to pull all the recap sheets for the season and either enter the week by week results into a secretary's program or do it by hand.  I'm sure glad it's not me!   --  JohnP

I agree with JohnP.  Probably the only thing to do is to gather all of the recaps from the season and start re-entering all of the data again from scratch.

No probably about it, that is the only way to fix this huge problem. You might not like the end result of where your team is truely positioned but at least everything will be 100% honest and correct.

Now just hope that the entire seasons recap sheets are still available, if not then you guys might have to deal with a modified season schedule then this turns into a true hand job, so to speak.

I'm in Pooler, GA to be exact.  Well, it looks like Imma have to suck it up!  I was really hoping there was something I could have done about this league being run so unorganized and sloppy.  Well thanks for all the comments and suggestions, I surely do appreciate it.

The league secretary should be the first one trying to fix this problem.  Have you had a league meeting to address this?
