our leauge went from 90% handicap to 150 pins max....my team is the reason because we came from awood house to synthtic house last year they were giving us alot of pins....they acused of being sand baggers which we are not... hmmmm seems like our team upset the apple cart....alot of guys have just below 200 averages but when we bowl them they have no problem bowling 220 plus every game....hmmmm aint that calling the kettle black....think next year me and my boy going to run for president and vice-president of the leauge and change it to 80%...and have everybodys averages rerated if we can do that.....

A cap on handicap is never fair, it strongly favors the high average teams.  --  JohnP

your right officers dont make decisions its put to vote......we were beating some of the really good teams...we ended up last in first quater....that sucked balls

well we bowled in a old wood house oil would just soak in matter of frames....our averages jumped 20 pins higher...plus as the season went along we got better at the new house...since the oil didnt soak in the lane and brunswick zone put more oil out... i say yes lane condition made a differnce....they went by year before averages....someone motioned for the handicap change....when we put it to a vote alot of people we didnt put there hand up at first but when the president and vice-president started looking around alot of people started to put there hands ups....wow i thought people we intimdated into voting yes....a few including my team voted to keep it the same....it is what it is.... well we might bowl in differnt house next year....dont know yet we really like this league money payouts is great....rant off
