I am bowling on a PBA league starting on May 15th. Its a two man team, 4 games per night. I'm pretty geeked because I will be bowling with a very good bowler as my teamate and I hope to tap into his expertise and learn alot this summer.
In addition to that most of our winter league team are going to get together once a week and practice,..have a few beverages..it should be fun.

Well my last week of my fall/winter league is this Saturday night. We're hoping to be fighting for a spot in the top 5! I'll most likely be joining an adult/youth league with the kiddo. Take advantage of AMF's 3 free games of bowling everyday during the summer. Then I'm thinking about joining a sport league as well at the local Brunswick Zone. The sport league starts the 27th of April, so I need to get on the ball. Then the adult/youth league will start the 4th of May (I think) lol. Best of luck to everyone during your summer leagues!

Good luck Coach, I know your knee recovery must be going well if you expect to be bowling soon. Good news, sir.
I'll be bowling in my first leagues ever, this summer. I'm signed up for a Sunday evening mixed 2-person teams, as well as a Tuesday evening mixed 4-person team. Can't wait to roll!

I've got 3 weeks left in my winter league, then my summer league starts in mid May. Finishing a 5 man league and moving into a doubles league. It's always an interesting change in pace to adjust to.
Good luck to those other ending and starting leagues.

I have 4 weeks left in one of my winter leagues, but the other is done. We start the PBA league the first week of May. Scratch singles, bowl a 2 game match, move and bowl another.

One of the "PBA" leagues in my area are 5 games a night with moving lanes every game. First game is always a position game and then you can jump all over. Going from 46 to 20 to 1 to 35 to 17 isn't completely out of the question, but they do try to keep it reasonable. I may sub on this league, its singles and you automatically lose if you aren't there and no sub. Then the bowlers against you bowl against the blind of 180 which gets to you mentally and one bad frame throws you off. The bowlers who end up with a blind would much rather have a bowler there, this includes guys like Eddie VanDaniker, Jr.

Mine is 4 people per lane, 4 games, move after the 2nd game, but, each game, you're bowling against everyone in the league. So if there are 20 guys there, you get 20 points for winning the game.
Last year, the blind was 150, and you were just bowling the people on your pair, so 4 for first. I cannot tell you how many times the blind beat me. I'm really looking forward to this year though - my game is much better now, and I think I will be able to play any line the lanes demand from me. My goal is to avg 180. I'd really like to get 190. We'll see.
