Please all ball reviewers read this....

On a Wed. night league at Mt. Airy lanes....NC I was the only one to show up for the position round of the league. My girlfriends son was on roster so he could fill in and give us at least 2 bowlers which made us legal for the wins. Well we was in 3rd 4 games out of 1st...2nd PLace was 4 games out of 1st as well...The 4th place team didnt show up that night so they forfeited and we won all four of ours. We had gotten done bowling very early that night and had left early. Well 2nd place had beating 1st place all four games making it a 3 way tie for 1st place for the second quarter. I hope you are following. Anyways I came to the bowling alley the following Mon. night to get a couple new balls only to see the 1st and second place team rolling off for the winner of the second half. They told us that we should have been there to, to roll off at the same time. Well nobody had told us anything about being there Mon. night, so they continued bowling and said well we was just outta luck.....

This was the secretaries fault for not calling any of us and letting us know we was suppose to be there on that Mon. night. Is this at all fair to us?????? I really dont think so and now there not giving us a chance at 1st place... What do you guys think about this and can I do anything about it??? The payoff is next Wed. night so I gotta find out something as fast as I can... Thanks for all comments. John Davis

Only thing you can really do about it, is to request a meeting to straighten the situation out.  Talk to the league President or one of the other officers, and have them call a meeting.  That is your right.

Rule 119 states that a formal protest regarding a league playoff must be filed within 48 hours. If you had filed a protest within that time period the league board of directors (captains and officers) would meet and vote on your protest.

I can't find anything in the rules that helps you unless you filed a protest within 48 hours of the playoff to an officer of the league.

First, read your by-laws. Most leagues state how/when roll offs will be done. IMO, and there are no set rule for this, but if you are a Wed league, a Monday rolloff is not a " normal scheduled event " if you follow. The leagues I'm in state the rolloffs will be scheduled with the Team Captains and the League Officers. That's just how we do it, that way there can not be any misunderstanding. Now, if a team doesn't show, they lost, but IMO, you'd be a fool if you didn't show.

That's how we have it set, can't say but I'd real your by-laws.

1st: Check your league by-laws.
2nd: Contact your Board of Directors, to resolve the issue.
3rd: If you can't resolve it with your Board of Directors, contact your local
     association.
