Here's WHY! Bowling Leagues use a Handicap Scoring System, to allow for bowlers of different ability levels to compete fairly within the same league. For example a league that uses a 100% of 200 system would work as follows. A bowler who averages 120 will receive 80 (200-120) bonus pins (pins of handicap) added to their score. A bowlers average and handicap will be adjusted each week based on the overall score and number of games bowled. The computer scorers will calculate your handicap for you. Your job is to just have FUN!

Leagues vary in what is included, some leagues include food and beverage packages while others give $$$$ back at the end of the season. The higher weekly fee leagues award more $$$ back to the bowlers at the end of the season in the form of prize $$$. Leagues that cost less give less prize $$$ back to the bowlers at the end of the season. It is not unusual for a bowler to get back over $150.00 in prize $$$.
