What's a lineage fee?It's just the part of the overall league fee for the night that the bowling alley takes as payment. Say that your total league fee is 15 dollars, and 11 dollars of that is "lineage." That 11 dollars goes to the center to pay for your bowling, and the remaining 4 dollars goes into the league prize fund that they pay out at the end of the year.

Also, depending on your league, in addition to the lineage fees there may be a secretary fee (salary) and a donation to the local youth league system taken out before the remainder becomes the league prize fund.

Fortunately I'm not afraid to ask the dumb question.So...is it something I should know? The league I'm joining costs I think $14. Might be $13. To me that's pretty good. I haven't really given much thought to where the money goes to per se. Seems like a reasonable cost to play every week. And I can do something competitive. Although the other alley I was considering I think the leagues cost significantly more. Like maybe 20. I guess in that situation, I'd be wondering a bit more why it costs so much. Likely culprit is higher lineage I suppose?
