To make a long story short,after losing a bunch of new guys, we may merge some teams together to get full lineups. A couple of teams may end up with a sixth man instead of the normal 5.
The word is they (6 man teams) will simply throw out the lowest score every week.
It seems to me that that would give them a definate advantage throwing out the score of which ever bowler happens to have the bad game.
 I wouldn't have a problem if they would name the score to be thrown out ahead of time, before the game started, to me that would be fair.

Is this fair??? Legal??? Am I missing something here??

My thinking was to rotate the line up of the teams with 6 guys also. That would be the fairest way to do it.

Tossing the third best score also seems pretty fair. I'll keep that suggestion in mind.

We have lost so many guys, and have quite a few teams with 4,3,and even 2 players, that something needs to be done.

We'll probably have a meeting this week about merging teams, just looking for some suggestions.

Prize money is easy.
Total prize money divided by total number of games bowled=X. (combined number of games by all players receiving monies.)
Multiply X by each individuals total games will give you a per person payout.

We've had a 6 man team for 4 years.  We just sit out every 6th week and when playoffs come around the 5 highest averages bowl.  Why would they even think about bowling all 6 in one night?  That's just insane.
