Questionare request for Bowling Attrition
« on: April 20, 2004, 07:07:59 AM »
We beat this topic to death, What are the factors involve with bowling attrition rate. We have asked this over and over and yet at the end of each thread it is left in the same spot. Lets turn this around and get some real information that may somehow prove valuable.

Please provide for your best questions that I will use in a poll on my website geared toward producing quantitative results. Everyone has an opinion but lets see what the majority says including those who dont voice in the forums. There are quite a few users, some really smart people on this forum and as a group we might obtain some interesting results in the end.

Here is one that I will throw out there to get things started:

Rate in order of significance what it would take for you to bowl an 1 extra league next year?

1. Money
2. Job Secutiry
3. Easier Scoring Conditions
4. Tougher Scoring Conditions
5. Better Maintained Facility
6. Shorter season

Lets get maybe 10 or 15 good questions to make a good poll. I will share the results to the group for further discussion.

That is a good question - I would suggest that maybe you can add another reason in your list pertaining to times/days of the league they want to bowl.  I know that I work nights and saturdays, and if my house had a competitive league on Sunday nights (other than just family leagues) I would bowl on that as well.  

For control/grouping purposes you would need the general questions like:

How many nights a week do you bowl (or how many leagues do you bowl on)?
Do you bowl on competitive mens/womens only league, mixed, or family mixed league?
How many teams are in your league? - I know this will vary largely based on # of lanes in the house, however, I would think that size of the league may be an attributing factor for some [in regards to attrition]
Valuable question suggestion:
Do the same teams place in the top spots in your league year after year?

Good topic -

Cleanliness of the establishment, the bowling area, snack bar, and bathrooms.

Quick and courteous service at the control counter and the snack bar.

Great topic Pin-chaser...

If your league limited each bowler to only 2 bowling balls per night, would you quit that league?

yes
