League Awards
« on: May 01, 2009, 03:27:08 AM »
What are some of the best League awards anyone has ever won? Not including the High Game/Series, lst place or standard awards.  Anything out of the ordinary that you are proud of being recognized for?  League Secretary's are always looking for special awards to give out to people. Any thoughts?

My wife, secretary, started what she calls a "Golden Envelope" award. Usually nothing more than a small trophy with the team name on it but it's for the one team that never had a payment problem, always 100% correct, never had to 'run down the envelope' that sort of thing.

She's been doing that for 3 years now and it's funny to see the teams that really try hard to 'get on the list'. It has become some sort of 'thing' to be the best in that respect. Sure has helped her out when trying to figure out those dang payment envelopes, she says.

She's come up with things as in, worst game, worst series more funny than anything else. Last year we had a 'good bowler' win the "worst game" award. I was surprised how he took it, was making all sort of jokes about how he tanked a game but still came back and kicked butt. We all had a good laugh. It's different but we're a mixed league and everyone ( most anyway ) enjoy all the ribbing.

Our Treasurer also gives out the best envelope awards (money or gift cards).  I have also given out low games, low series, etc. since this is a mixed league, and fun awards are received well.

We have had few guys pass away the last few years so we started the "good guy" award. Each person in the league votes and the person with the most votes wins a little plaque giving to him in honor of those guys. So far the guys that have won it are some of the guys that have been in the league the longest, so I think that is has worked out so far.

I know a couple secretaries that give out a "horses' A.." award.  For the bowler that pitches the biggest fit over the last year.
