The league shall consist of 8 teams and shall be sanctioned with the A.B.C., W.I.B.C. and YABA. Each team shall have four members. The league shall bowl for 13 weeks starting May 29, 2000 and conclude on August 20, 2000. Practice bowling starts at 5:00 PM and competition at 5:10 PM. Position round will be on Week 12. Fun night will be on August 20, 2000.

All members and substitutes on this league must be sanctioned by the A.B.C., W.I.B.C. or YABA prior to the first game bowled. The sanction fee is $16.00 for men, $13.50 for women and $11.75 for Youths.

A.B.C., W.I.B.C. and YABA league rules shall apply except as amended herein.

The management of the league shall be vested in the Board of Directors, which shall consist of the Executive Board (President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer) and Team Captains.

New players cannot be added to a team on Week 12 of the schedule without the approval of the Board of Directors.

Team Rosters can be made up of 6 players. A team’s current roster must be made up of minimum of 1 youth bowler.

Substitutes are not allowed.

Bowling fees will be $8.50 for youths and $10.00 for adults. The fee will include the lineage, Secretary/Treasurer’s fee of $.30 per bowler per night, and the remaining amount for banquet and trophies. It is the team Captain’s responsibilities to insure that the total amount due from his/her team is delivered to the League’s Secretary/Treasurer before the start of the 2nd game each night. Bowling fees for the last week shall be paid by each member before the completion of the 5^th week of bowling.

The Secretary/Treasurer fee is $.30 per bowler per night.

Any bowler in arrears will be dropped when the team notifies the league secretary except in the case of emergencies approved by the League Officers. The removed bowler(s) is still responsible for payment of all back fees.

An account will be kept in the name of the league at Liberty Lanes. All deposits for each week will be made at Liberty Lanes on the same night as bowled, including sanction fees. Two officers must sign for all withdrawal. The president shall verify the balance at least once each month.

Bowlers will have a handicap computed after their first complete three game series. This handicap will be applied to the games in that series. Individual handicaps are figured on 95% of the difference between the bowler’s average and 220 base score for Youths and 90% of 220 for adults. No maximum handicap.

The blind score shall be 120 with an 95 pin handicap for youths, 130 with an 81 pin handicap for women and 150 with an 63 handicap for men.

Tardy players shall be permitted to start any game provided they start before the completion of the 3rd frame. Bowlers not entering the game by the end of the third frame cannot bowl the remainder of that game for practice.

To avoid a forfeit of any game, a minimum of two members from the team’s roster must be ready to bowl by the end of the third frame.

The absent bowler’s average minus ten (10) pins will be used in scoring each game. If a team has more than 4 members, the absentee score will be used on the player’s average with the most games bowled. If there is a tie the highest of the averages will be used. In either case, the full fee must be paid each night because the bowling establishment must be paid as if the full compliment of bowlers were present.

Any team that is requesting a pre-bowl must notify the opposing team, preferably the captain and get approval from a league officer at least 24 hours in advance. This is so arrangements can be made with the bowling establishment before the next regular schedule session. An individual wishing to pre-bowl must notify Liberty Lanes for lane availability. Liberty Lanes will witness all pre-bowled games. All score correction during the three pre-bowled games must be done by the control desk only. New teams entering the league within the first 2 weeks can post-bowl to make up those weeks.

The president shall appoint a committee of three members to head up the prize and banquet committee. The prizes should include High Series and High Game (both handicap and scratch) for both male and female.

Standings shall be determined on a point basis, with two points for each game won and 2 points for series. One point will be awarded to each team for ties. Other than 1^st place, any ties for any other position, total pins with handicap will break the tie.

Practice will not be permitted on the same pair of lanes that a bowler is scheduled on that night. Penalty will be forfeiture of individual’s scores for that night.

To qualify for individual awards, bowlers and substitutes must have bowled in two-thirds of the scheduled games. No bowler may receive more than one league individual trophy for high series or high game handicap. Team trophies will be awarded to first and second places. Scratch awards may be added depending upon budget for the league.

"Most Improved" will not receive a trophy but will get an A.B.C., W.I.B.C. and YABA award. The base average as of 9^th game will be used. A bowler must have bowled the minimum number of games to qualify.

Returned checks will have a fee equal to the fee charged by the bank used by the league.

When a team bowls against a bye or forfeit, the team must bowl within 40 pins of the sum of their team’s averages. This is done by adding each bowler’s averages with handicap. If a team has an absentee, do not subtract 10 pins from their average for that night. Circle the absentee’s scores on the recap sheet.

Make all checks payable to Sunday Youth Adult.

Parents are responsible for the behavior their youths in the league. Youth bowlers must follow lane courtesy and be ready to bowl when it's their turn. Any violations involving youths will be handled by the executive board.
