I just don't get it!!!!
« on: February 25, 2010, 01:03:57 PM »
In league tonight had the "idiot" team bowling to the right of us.  Teams made up of five guys who think their you know what don't stink.  These guys all walk up on everybody, than take their sweet ole time on the approach (I still think there needs to be a shot clock in league), and then when they don't carry or throw a bad ball, they smack the hell out of the ball return and yell profanities.  I'm just sick and tired of it.  It really affects anybody bowling to the left or right of them.  There's nothing like hearing a loud smack of the ball return as you are about to let go of your ball.  But if you do the same thing they cry bloody murder.  I just don't really know what happened to proper league etiquette.  WTF is wrong with people?!!!!

Bring it up to the league secretary and president.  They should be able to do something about it.  If they don't or won't do anything about it, maybe talk to the owner of the house....he might not like guys smacking his ball returns.

You need to have some rules written in your league about unsportsmanlike conduct.

You can have warnings and then fines.  Fines come out of prize money.  You just need someone with enough b@lls to bring it up at the league meeting before nexrt season.

League president is the one who enforces rules, so you need a strong league president.

Our center owner and manager will jump a bowler in a heart beat about abusing their equipment. Seen them even jump one of their team mates. Our travel leagues have a fine for foul language, sounds like you guys need one too.

The owner of the center I bowl at on tuesday nights hits it right on the head, like it should be.  Anyone who smacks the hell of ouf the ball return or scoring console, he straight confront you and tell you, "hey your damaging stuff I own, so I have every right to damage stuff you own, so maybe I'll just take a bowling ball to your car's windshield!"
