Hi all.

AMF Illawarra is once again having a new season for the Wednesday Scratch Trios starting as of Wednesday, 27th March at 7pm. Price to be confirmed (around the $26-$27 mark). This league is 3 games scratch and trios teams will be selected as follows:

(Based on 10 teams):

The top 10 average bowlers will nominate whether they want to be captain until 10 captains are chosen (if anybody in the top 10 chooses against captaincy, then the next highest average bowler after the Top 10 gets a choice of being captain and so on and so forth until 10 captains are picked).

NEXT: The highest average captain will pick a team member and picks will continue until all 10 team captains have chosen a bowler. Bowlers have 1 chance to decline being in a team but if picked a 2nd time must bowl with the captain picking them.

NOTE: If people have the option of being captain and decline, they cannot decline being picked.

NEXT: After team partners are picked, the lowest 2 average bowlers (captain + bowler picked) will be the 3rd bowler for their team 1st, eg: 360 between 2 bowlers is the lowest total for the 2 averages...2nd is 362, 3rd is 364, etc.

Teams will pick from lowest to highest until all trios teams have all 3 bowlers.

The format (as it currently stands) is as follows:

22 week league (21 weeks + 1 week of position round). The pattern (s) are to be determined as we will either bowl on sports conditions or on the regular house pattern. This will be subject to a majority vote at the start of the new league season. What are everybody on this thread's thoughts about what you would like for patterns?

House or sports?

FINALS FORMAT

Based on 10 teams

The Top 3 teams after 22 weeks automatically earn berths into the stepladder final. Teams finishing 4th-7th will play off in an eliminator format (4th plays 7th in 1 game and 5th plays 6th in 1 game. The winner of each match play each other in 1 more final game to determine the 4th and final seed for the stepladder final).

STEPLADDER FINAL:

4th vs 3rd (1 game match)

Winner vs 2nd

Winner of this match plays 1st

PATTERN FOR FINAL: To be determined.

There is big money in this league, ladies and gentlemen, and prizefund breakdown will also be determined soon. If you want to bowl against some of the best bowlers in NSW this is the league to bowl in. With State Champions, NSW Rep's, and Australian Rep's all bowling in this league this is one of the best leagues in NSW in terms of competition.

Official date for this is still uncertain but looking like being the 27th March. Getting reeeeeally good numbers and hoping to have a sponsor for the league in due time :) Keep on adding your names, people! We have bowlers from Sydney to Nowra coming to bowl this awesome scratch league and we will most likely at this stage continue to use Sports patterns. To give everyone an idea, we used last year's Adult Nationals Pattern for the first 7 weeks, then we swapped to the 2012 USBC Masters pattern for the next 7, and for the last 7 + positional we are using the PBA's Cheetah Pattern. The finals pattern is still undecided :) So, for anybody looking to improve their game and see just how good they are on the tougher pattern that the pro's get to bowl on all over the world this is the league for you!

Cheers,

Rowey
 
About a month to go and already looks like we have almost 30 bowlers :) Hoping to have around 10-12 teams in the new season as well as get some sponsorship involved. Official date to start is still the 27th March.

Cheers,

Rowey :)
