Well here we go with the start of a new season last night. Just a little background this is only my 7th year bowling and 4th with this team in this league. 1st year 30 teams and we won it. (luck). 2nd and 3rd not so lucky with 40 teams each of those years. But the rules have been pretty much the same. 1st night 3 games to establish avg for the year. Well now not complaining just trying to understand they want us to use last years avg for first 3 weeks and then adjust on the 4th week using all 4.

  So I guess what I'm asking is can any off you with experience with this give me some examples on how this would work and why its need?

 Oh by the way we have 60 teams this year taking up the whole alley here at Red Rock Lanes in Las Vegas NV, so only the team captains were able to fit in the meeting room to vote on this issue.       

 Thanks for any relies in advance and everyone have a great year bowling!!!

I could never understand why we have to establish a new average each year.  Why not just keep an average of say the last 100 games.  Sure would help curtail sandbagging.  Makes a lot of difference when a bagger has to shoot 100 pins under average to lower his avg by 1 pin.  I sent this proposal to ABC years ago.
