BRIAR CREEK I BOWLING RULES
AND REGULATIONS
2011-2012 SEASON
GENERAL:
1.
League bowling begins October 7, 2011
and will run 26 weeks. The last day of the bowling season is
April 20,2012
2.
The dates we do not bowl are: November 25th
, December 23th . December 30th .
3.
Practice begins at 12:20; bowling for score
begins at 12:30.
4.
There will be 8 teams. There
will be four bowlers per team.
5.
This is a mixed league and is not a U.S.B.C.,
sanctioned league.
6.
Each team will select a Captain. The Captain’s duties are
to: collect money and
turn in the
money envelope to the Treasurer,
complete, or have completed the score
sheets and turn them into the Secretary. In the event of losing a bowler,
the Team
Captain is responsible for finding a replacement.
AVERAGES, HANDICAPS, SCORING:
1.
Returning bowlers will start with their
previous season’s ending average for the first 9 games of bowling, then this
seasons average will be calculated on the first nine games of this season.
2.
A New bowler’s average will be calculated after
the first full session of 3 consecutive games. If the first session was
fewer than 3 games then their average will be based on the first two
sessions of bowling. All averages will then be cumulative based on total
pins bowled divided by the total number of complete games.
3.
A U.S.B.C. book average, from current or prior
year can also be used as a starting average.
4.
A pacer can bowl in place of a vacant or absent
bowler however pacer scores will not count in team scoring. An absentee or
vacant score is to be used for the total pins bowled when a pacer is used.
5.
One regular team member must be present, at the
12:30 start or before the end of the third frame, or that game is
forfeited. If a bowler arrives prior to the completion of the third frame
of any game after the first, that team will be considered present.
6.
Late bowlers, if a bowler arrives after the
third frame is completed, the absent bowler rule applies (average minus 10
pins) for that game. A bowler arriving before the completion of the third
frame in any game will be allowed to catch up the frames missed and be a
regular bowler for the team.
7.
Absent bowler’s score will be that absent
bowler’s average minus 10 pins per game.
After missing three consecutive weeks, the bowler’s full average
will be used, starting the fourth week, only if the absentee fee has been
paid and is up to date. If all absentee fees have not been paid by the
fourth week the
secretary will insert a vacancy score and that bowler will be removed from
the team roster. A previous bowler can only be added back to the roster if
all absentee fees are current.
8.
Vacancy bowler score will be 120 plus a 64 pin
handicap.
9.
In the event that there are an odd number of
teams or a team is ruled vacant, the FORTY PIN rule shall govern play for
any team bowling a vacant team. The team must bowl no less than 40 pins
under their team total average. Scoring will be based on the
team total score. Example: The team total average is 550, handicap
does not apply. The team must bowl a total of 510, or more, to win
the game. If the team bowls 509, or less, they lose one point. Total game
pin count is the cumulative score for each bowler or absent bowler. Series
totals pins will be the cumulative of all three games. The series total
must be equal to or greater than the total team average for the 3 games,
minus the 40 pins for each game. Therefore using the same team example
above the team series must be 1530 or more. A team could lose the first two
games yet bowl high enough to reach the series total and win two points. You
Do NOT have to beat the vacant team score. They are on the score board for
pacing and on the scoring sheet for computer
reasons only. A vacant
team cannot win points, they are considered
unassigned.
10.
A four point scoring system will be used, one
point for each game won, plus one point
for total pin fall. In
the event of a tie ½ point will be earned by each team.
11.
Handicap will be 200 minus bowler’s average
times 80%. Example: (200 – 140) x .8 = 48
12.
A foul (should foul lines be active) may be
recorded by the scoring device. In this event the frame is erased from the
scoring device, lane is reset to the first ball, and the frame is replayed
from the first ball.
13.
A floating substitute will be allowed to bowl
for any team with an absent or vacant bowler. The decision to use a
substitute in lieu of an absent or vacant bowler will remain with the
Captain of the team. A substitute is not a team requirement therefore a
team can elect to use the absent bowler score. A new bowler who wants to be
a substitute must bowl the first week as a Pacer a total of 3 games to
establish an average. This average will be used for any subsequent weeks.
A bowler with a current year league average who has been vacant and removed
from a team may rejoin their previous team if a position is available or be
a floating substitute. The Secretary will request a Team to use the New
substitute as a pacer to establish an average however the Captain has the
final decision on whether to use the substitute or not.
FEES:
1. The bowling fee is $8.50 per week, including late bowlers. The
treasurer will calculate the contribution to the prize fund for weeks
missed.
2. Absentee fee is $2.00 per week. This is the amount contributed to
the prized fund. Therefore a bowler joining the team must pay the $2.00 for
each week missed to fully participate in the year end prize awards. If a
bowler has not contributed fully to the prize fund then a partial award will
be made based on the percentage of weeks that a bowler has contributed to
the prize fund.
3. Pacers will pay $6.50
per week
4. The initial league startup fee of ($17.00) is due by the fourth week
of bowling. The startup fee is in addition to the regular weekly fee. This
startup fee will be used by the Treasurer to establish a bank account to pay league bills and start a prize. This will be applied to
the last two weeks of bowling. This will
assist the treasurer in withdrawing the funds and settling each bowlers
account during the last two weeks of bowling.
5.
No refunds of the last two weeks of bowling for
dropouts unless the bowler is replaced and the replacement bowler pays for
the last two weeks.
MONEY AND BANQUET:
1.
To be eligible for prize money, a bowler must
pay bowling fees for
each week of the season: $8.50 per week or $2.00 per week
for absent weeks.
2.
To be eligible for individual prize
money, a bowler must have bowled at least 50% of all games. A Prize Fund
committee will be formed of both officers and league members to determine
prize awards and eligibility based on individual or team contribution.
3. If a bowler is replaced, the replacement bowler is responsible for
any unpaid fees to be eligible for
prize money. Any bowler who has paid for more than 50% of the games will be
eligible for the awards.
4. Bowlers that arrive late in the season and/or leave early
before seasons end, must pay weekly league fees while they are here, and
participate in at least 50% of the
games, will be eligible for
pro-rated Team Position Prize Money.
5. Bowlers are entitled to only one individual money prize and
one team money prize. A perfect
attendance award is an award, not a prize.
6. In determining prizes, in case of ties, highest pin fall will
determine the winner.
7. The banquet will alternate between Phase I (odd years) and Phase II
(even years). Phase I banquet will be arranged and planned at least 4 weeks
prior to the end of the season. A menu and cost per person for tickets will
be published. The cost of the tickets will be optional. A bowler can
attend the award ceremonies but is not required to purchase a banquet
ticket. The cost of the banquet will be based on a break-even analysis.
The treasury will finance the banquet with tickets sales being used as
re-imbursement. Prize funds for all awards will be based on the remaining
treasury balance with a small amount being retained to keep the bank account
active.
Miscellaneous:
The League will elect three
officers: a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer, for the next season. The
election, and any rule changes, will be discussed at this meeting, to be
held in the last month of current season. The elected, Secretary and
the Treasurer will each receive a yearly salary of $20.00 per team for their
league work. The President will be reimbursed for actual expenses. If the
team roster should exceed 10 teams the Secretary and Treasurer will be paid
an additional $10 for each team over 10 but at no time to exceed $300.00
annually.
