The thread about quitting made me think of this.  I'm bowling a summer scratch league, sport shot type (not that it matters for the purposes of this).  We started with 14 people (singles league).  One guy appears to have gone back to China; at least he hasn't shown up after the 3rd week.  How do we handle this?  Suggestions have included:
1) figure the league average with this guy and his opponent bowl against the average.
2) figure this guys average and bowl against it.
3) bowl against the league average, minus this guy.
4) bowl against the league average, with or without this guy, for each game.
5) bowl against your own average, minus (or not) x amount of pins.
6) other.

I'd be interested in hearing what y'all would do.

"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,"

your average minus 10 or his average minus 10
we have done it both ways where I bowl the rule was always set before the league started though
