I was a regular in a Sport shot league with 4 games and 4 opponents for a singles scratch last Summer and I subbed in a the same type of league but house shot and 5 games, 5 different pairs and 5 different opponents each night.

Let me tell you that 5 games on 5 different pairs every night gets old FAST! You spend more time running around, lugging your balls or worse your 4 ball bag from one end of the house to the other, tripping over everyone else's bags and bumping into them every game. There were times in this 36 lane house (the lanes are end to end ) where I would go from lane 8 to 32 to 11 to 28 to 3. Even with the A/C going in the Summer, you can work up quite a sweat and be awfully tired by the end of the night.

The 4 man was better, but not by a lot. It was much more fun because of the Sport shot.

I just cannot imagine 36 weeks of that. Here in NJ, leagues run from 32 to 36 weeks. Houses force that on almost every league.
