APRIL 15 IS WHEN BOOK AVERAGES WENT IN

For winter season league bowlers, the date of April 15 means more than our income tax deadline. It is also the date that has been the date for years that your new book average goes in. If you have 21 games or more in any of the leagues you bowled in since the start of winter season (early September), then you will have a book average reported. If you bowl in more than one league, all will be reported, but your highest average of 21 games or more will be the one that will be listed in the 2011-12 Average Book. This new book average is usually not used until the fall/2012 winter season comes around as it does take a month or so for all the league secretaries to report all their bowlers’ averages to their center and to our GEUSBC Association Manager, Nancy Weber.

This is an important time for your league secretary of all sanctioned leagues to be aware that it is their responsibility to report all their league bowlers’ average to the center they bowl at. All winter leagues are currently finishing up and because of all the end of season things a league secretary needs to do, this is why we give them a month to get this report in to center.

Also, an added note: If you are bowling in a State or National tournament in the near future, please be sure to check to make sure your 2011 Summer average that is listed on www.bowl.com is not any higher than what is listed in the current 2010-11 Average Book. If it is higher, you must report this when checking in to bowl or you may be disqualified. This is a new rule that was passed recently and a lot of bowlers do not realize it is now in effect.

BRIGHTHOUSE FEATURES BOWLING SEGEMENT

Now through the end of April, if you are a BrightHouse cable subscriber, please check out the “On a Tank Full” on Channel 300 as they did a feature on Bowling that features all three of our local bowling centers—AMF Westchester Lanes, AMF Southwest Lanes and Regency Bowling Center. Host Meathead introduces what is offered at all three centers and explains how someone who has never tried bowling can get into the sport. It is actually very good and features Cassie at AMF Westchester Bowl along with Mossman’s popular Fish ‘n Chips as well as senior bowler, Wilma Horner, being interviewed at AMF Southwest Lanes along with Robb’s Pro Shop owner Robb White and some strikes thrown by youth bowler Andrew Svoren.

WEDNESDAY IS DOLLAR DAY AT REGENCY
