Charter
i. Under NO circumstances shall any shit
or criticism be given to Bird at any time for any reason regarding CBA. This is
a first run at the bowling league and any issues shall be dealt with in the normal
Cronyville fashion – through debate, discussion and democratically.
ii. We shall elect a Chairman, Treasurer,
and Secretary.
iii. The Chairman will perform duties of
rules oversight and game ruling decisions if necessary, Treasurer is in charge
of all cash functions including collection, safeguarding of assets and
distribution. The Secretary will
perform the duties of record keeping.
Note – Bird –
if approved by Cronies - will be Secretary the 1st year but will not
perform duties of Chairman or Treasurer as this is a violation of internal
control and not desired by Bird.
Basics
12 Crony Bowlers

So you are committed for 7 weeks of bowling. Handicaps apply (details to follow). Should be done by 8 PM. For weeks 2-7 – 1 team will be

Halloween.) Dec. 5th is
CBA Championship – all six teams must attend.
$270 Each. Comprised of $150 Entry Fee (Contest

PRE-CBA PARTY – We will have a “Pre” CBA bowling
party ON THURSDAY, OCT 6th at 6:30 where each CB and CBS will bowl three
games to establish handicap and draw for teams. CBS’s are highly encouraged to attend as we will have extra
lanes. $15 each bowler. No prize
money as this is only for official CBA handicap establishment. Each CB will need to bring $150
“Deposit” for Contest money. We
will also elect Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary.
Basic
Rules
1 – League will
consist of six (6) CBT’s consisting of two CB’s (12 Cronies total). Each CB will be handicapped each week
(details to follow). It would be
welcomed to have 2-5 CBS substitution list to be available.
2 – League will
take place over 8 weeks each Monday night (Week 1 - October 10th) beginning
at 6:30 sharp (6:10-6:30 open practice) and will consist of 3 games each week
for each CBT match.
3 - Each week
one CBT will have a bye except for the 8th week (December 5th)
for the Ending CBA Season tournament – CBA Championship - where all six teams must participate.
4 – Each week 3 games
(series) of CBT vs. CBT will take place - and will vary over the first 7 weeks
– as this way each team plays each team once and once only over the course of
the season.
5 – Weeks 2-7
there will be one team designated as the “Strike” team. This team will not bowl directly
against another team to earn points – but is still eligible for season team
points and weekly prizes. Since
there will be two bowlers occupying two lanes – we are encouraging non-league
members and substitutes to be the “Spare” team. Spare team can come bowl for fun with the “Strike” team but
is not eligible for prizes.
6 - The format
each week allows for each match to take place in two lanes – alternating lanes
each roll with computer scoring over the course of the series.
7 – Contests are
divided into four areas over the duration of the season – all of which are
handicapped –
Prize information follows:
a
– Season CBT Match Champions. Each
week your team will Match against another team for 3 games and have the chance
to win 4 points. Each CB computes
their HS and adds with partner to compute HTS for each game and series (total
of all 3 games). Game 1 = 1
point. Game 2 = 1 Point. Game 3 =1 Point. Highest HTS (series) between two teams
= 1 Point. Team with the
highest HTS for the week among all 5 teams (6 teams in week 1) = 3 Points. This includes the Strike team! The team with the most Points at the end of the season WINS! 1st Place CBT = $400 ($200
each CB). 2nd Place CBT
= $50 ($25 each CB). Tie Brakes
will be determined by best total team season HTS (total handicapped pins for
team for entire season).
Individual CB
with total HS for entire season WINS $200 for 1st Place, 2nd Place
receives $50. This is over the
entire season (7 Weeks).
b
– Weekly Team Net Score (HTS).
Each week the CBT with the HTS for all 3 games – WINS $50 ($25 each CB). Includes Strike Team.
c
– Weekly Individual Net Score (HS).
Each week the Individual with the HS for all 3 games – WINS $30. Includes Strike team.
d
– CBA Championship - End

Handicaps
(Will use AMF software for this)
Handicaps are
added to each individual game each week to compute HS and added with teammate
to determine HTS. Handicaps will
be established each week on a “rolling” basis.
Handicap
calculations will always be based upon your NS – or natural score – what you
score without any additional “pins”.
All calculations round down in the end.
We will use AMF
Sawmill “Basis” of 210 with 80% factor (Substitutes will use 70% to prevent
substituting bowling “aces”).
Example:
Pre-Season
Natural
Score: Game 1 = 115, Game 2 = 120,
Game 3 = 125. Total = 360. Average = 120.
Basis – Average
= 210 – 120 = 90.
Factor 80% of 90
= 72 Handicap. The next week you will add 72 to each
of your 3 games to determine HS and HTS.
Week 1
Game 1 = 128
natural score (add 72) = 200 HS
Game 2 = 123
nature score (add 72) = 195 HS
Game 3 = 133
natural score (add 72) = 205 HS
Therefore for
Week 1 your total HS = 600 (200+195+205).
This is added to your teammate to determine HTS for each game point and
series point determination.
Week 2 is
calculated as follows:
Total Natural
Score = 744 (115+120+125+128+123+133)
Natural Average
= 86 (744 divided by 6 games)
80% of 86 = 68.8
= (round down)
68 New Handicap for Week 2
This “rolling”
handicap calculation continues with each weekly series and your natural scores.
CBS –
Crony Bowling Substitutes
CBS will use
same handicapping system as a CB – only with a 70% factor instead of 80%
CBS will count
for Season Team Points for the week they substitute.
CBS are not
eligible for any CBA SEASON prize money, ONLY WEEKLY prize Money. If CBS (and CB partner) wins weekly
individual or team – it is between the CB and the CBS if they are to split
prize money.
CBS will be
responsible for paying weekly $15 bowling fee directly to AMF Sawmill the night
they are substituting. CBS is
responsible for collecting from CB if necessary.
At
the end of the season each CB will receive a FREE Bowling Ball!
Each
CB will receive a “league card” upon entry fee. This gets you personally 2 free games each week and $2.65
per game for family and friends.
You also get 20% off food and beverage except alcohol.
