In out league you have two weeks to bowl and catch up. You do not get to see scores of other team untill you are done with the game. This prevents the post bowlers from being able to sandbag.

In our league, the scores are secret until after the second team bowls (whether one pre-bowls and the other bowls at the normal time or one bowls at the regular time and the other post-bowls).  The secretary will tell the score for each game as the second team finishes it, but you don't know what you're trying to beat while you're actually bowling.

We can pre- or post-bowl up to a week on either side of the regular date.  You could pre-bowl on Tuesday after league (I guess, no one has ever done that) and you could post-bowl up to the next Tuesday before league starts.  That way the standings are set before league begins.  But you can't bowl before the previous week's regular time and you can't bowl after the next week's regular time.

I don't know if the league has a specific rule or not, but I didn't think the scores should be made public either.

Since we use BLS, the scores are already there for the other team to see.  I don't think they would sandbag - given our teams scores and looking at their scores from the first 3 weeks of bowling, they should win at least 2 of the games and totals (6 points).

The recap sheet mentioned that they didn't believe the team would be able to make up the week before the position round, which seemed strange to me.  

Currently we are ranked 3rd (based on percentages, and only because we've already bowled the "vacant" team), but if we end up losing all 8 points we would end up in 12th place.

The team that is post bowling, if they sweep us, would move up to 7th place.

I don't know how they are going to place us and this other team in the position round.  The current schedule has us bowling the 4th place team.  

Here's how my team would end up in the possible scenarios:
Win all 8 points = 2nd place
Win 6 points = 3rd place (tied, but lower total pins)
Win 4 points = 6th place
Win 2 points = 7th place
Win 0 points = 12th place

The other team would go from 16th place, to as high as 7th or as low as 22nd.

It's early in the season, and it's a handicap league, so I'm not sure it really makes a difference, but it just seems to be against the spirit of the position round.
