It was the average you have the night you bowl ( ie. 190 avg., bowl a 600 and you had a + 30 for that week), and the average could/would change from week to week, depending on how you bowl, good or bad.
Also it was four weeks (there was allot of discussion on this one), if there happens to be 5 weeks, because of the day of the week you bowl, for you it was the first 4 weeks, this was done so some could not take the best 4 weeks they bowled. Some had plus for the month others had a minus . There was no make up, or pre-bowl, or if you did miss a week you had to use just the weeks you ACTUALY bowled, no excuses.
Every one who was in sent their starting average along with the day of the week they were using and what they bowled , and any changes due to bowling good or bad to who was keeping track, of Tourny, this could be done after every has started and established an average, and pick a start month so every one starts the same.
You had to pick one of the nights you bowl and couldn't change after that. You have to use TRACK equipment. Once last year one member was honest enough to admit he didn't use Track for that week and took a 0 for that week.
We also need to send in what you bowl for the week as soon as possible, day or two at the latest, seemed like last year there were one or two that waited till almost the end of the month to send in the entire month, after seeing what every one else had bowled! To stop any problems maybe score needs to be sent in before the next week, you bowl or you loose the prior week !!!!!!!!!
It was fun, just need to keep simple and honest.
Starting this in October I think would probably be the fairest way.
