We have approx 60 bowlers in the league. I say approx because we only have to commit to a block of 8 weeks. We bowl four 8 week sessions and some, like myself bowl in all four while some pick which session or sessions they want to bowl in.
Each week we have a 3 game qualifier and the top 16 make the cut and bowl match play. We bowl 4 on a pair so it doesn't take long for the qualifier. The round of 16 is four on a pair. After that it's just two on a pair. It doesn't take long to get to the championship match.
We also have all the guys separated into 8 man divisions. During the qualifying, we also bowl for points, so we have separate division races.
After the first two sessions, and after the fourth session we have a playoff week. You qualify for the playoffs in several ways. Win your division during a session, win a weekly championship, be a weekly high qualifier, shoot 750 or over, shoot 280 or over.
We also have jackpots and an eliminator built into the qualifying round.
We have weekly payouts and a year-end payout based on the total points you win during the year.
So all in all it's a very well run league.
