TyLytle,
We have developed a bylaw in which a 5 man panel
(that we voted on at the beginning) will look into
situations like that in league. We as a leagie can
re-rate any individual/team at anytime, with just a
majority vote of captains.
Another instance:
There is a guy in our summer league who is a 215-220
average bowler, has held a 189 most of the year, yet
no one is doing anything about it, because the whole league
is crooked ! He gets in all the pots every week. The last
night he gets in nothing and proceeds to shoot 390 !
This will lower his incoming average to to the mid 180's.
Needless to say, this individual has been banned from both
of the leagues I run and he has recently moved to
Indianapolis IN due to employment. I plan on writing up
a thing on ballreviews later with the individuals name. I
traced an old average of his to 213 in an Indiana league,
yet all of his average in Illinois have been in the 180's.
This guy bowled in a collegiate program ! To wrap it up,
leagues should police this type of behavior, if they
care about keeping teams.

Shoot first night of my mixed league I shot a 255 first game.  A guy who is a Scratch bowler walks up to me and says you are an idiot you won't see me shoot anywhere close to that.  Just keep it clean to get cards for the card game.  Has averaged over 200 for probably 20 years, but in his handicapped leagues always starts same way.  After first week average is at 170.  Of course in the scratch league he is already over 200.
--------------------
I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

Na cold listen to this.  The league I am talking about pays every person the same amount of money except the winning team they get 10 dollars more per person.  Sell your soul for 10 bucks anybody.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

If you know that he also bowls in handicap tournaments, I think you should report him to ABC and/or whoever is running the tournaments.  Now, I don't know what kind of proof you need or what's involved, but there's got to be some way to report this pick-pocket.

The left side of the lane isn't easier, we just make it look easy.

A lead pipe to the knees would shut them down...

Keep your balls on the lane and your mind in the gutter!

ah, the wonders of bowling in handicap leagues.  I've seen the entering average for 21 games and a 10 pin average drop rule, but it always seems that you'll find a few individuals who will trade their integrity for some big $s in pots or brackets.

Did I miss the event in the olympics where they give the slower guy a head start or the shorter high jump athlete a step ladder to make the height fair.  hmmmmm.
