Schedule

There is no schedule! We’re NonCommittal!
Options for “Week” 1:

-Caldwell Bowl: $8 Special. Saturday, Sunday & Tuesday 11am— 5pm. Includes 3 games of bowling and shoes.

-Also Caldwell Bowl – Friday & Saturday Evenings. 5pm – 8pm. $3.50 per game per person bowling, $2.50 shoe rental per person.

-Nampa Bowl: WINTERMANIA $12.00. Mon – Fri, 3 games, shoes, and Med soda. Sat/Sun same deal, no soda. *Would need to call for which day’s/times lanes are usually available.

-Big Als: $2 Tuesday 3pm-10pm – $2 games, $2 shoes, $2 sodas, $2 beers, $2 snacks

-Wahooz/Pinz: Usually $5 or $6 per game. Some deals, but kinda weird and based on time, we need # of games. They do have a Winter Bowling Club for $12/week from Jan 22/23 – April 16/17 on Web or Thurs night, but that is pretty Committal.

-Meridian Bowl: Like $100 a game, forget that place.

Rules/Definitions

Points (12 possible per week**):

  • 1 point for Bowler1 vs Bowler1*, each Game
  • 1 point for Bowler2 vs Bowler2*, each Game
  • 1 point for Team total vs Team total, each Game
  • 3 points for Team vs Team series**

*Players on each team bowl in order, Low avg-to-High avg. Then you bowl against the same position of bowler on the opposing team.

**This assumes we bowl 3 game series. If whimps can only handle 2 games, it would be 2 points for Team Series.

Handicap: 90% of (200-[your avg]). E.g. 140 average= .9(200-140)= .9(60)= 54 pins added to your score each game.

First week will determine your average, then, after all 3 games, your handicap will be added back in, and points awarded accordingly for that week. Due to this, the first week are usually pretty split scoring of the possible points. There’s math as to why.

Definitions/misc:

  • “Week” = Iteration, aka, the day we bowl. Might be per month, every other week.
  • “Series” = How many games you bowl, used for totals etc. Typically 3 games.
  • “handicap” = I literally just explained it above. You add this to your score so everyone has a chance, winner is who bowls well that night relative to their average.
  • “scratch” = Your raw score, without handicap.

Fun Side-Bets:

Poker (optional): Ante $1 per game. Every strike or spare you get a card (max of 5 cards in your hand at any time, discard if go over). High hand at end of that game wins the pot.
