Our national and local sanction is the same as last year $16.

Bowling fees are the same.

Sawbones - 50 cents a game is a big jump, around here they might go up 50 cents for 3 games. It will be interesting to see how many quit.

The house might have been holding back on a increase for a few years to try and keep the numbers up and finally said to heck with it, everyone is quitting regardless so lets make money on what's left.

Started one of my leagues last Thursday. It was announced that the ABC fees will remain the same $13. The per line fee increased an insignificant amount (maybe a dime .. but I really don't remember). I was expecting a big jump in the ABC fee .. so that was a surprise. Line fee increase was in the ACCEPTABLE range!

Our lineage fees also jumped 50 cents a game, but the house also just had new(well, new to us anyhow) AMF 82-90 pinspotters installed over the summer. Considering all the breakdowns we had last season on the old ones(and I do mean OLD! They were Brunswick A1's, circa ~1957. Not only were they old, they weren't maintained properly either)nobody should be too upset about the lineage increase. We were also quite a bit lower on lineage($1.50/gm) than our main competition($2.25/gm) last season.
Even with all this happening, I'm sure there will be complaining. Some people are never satisfied.

No increase in lineage for us this year.  Every 3 or 4 years they actually leave lineage alone

ABC dues for us are $12 this year, league fees are $11 on both my leagues.  One house went up $.50 for the nite, the other house went up $.05 a game ($.15).
