These are several major topics
that can be overlooked in the long list of FAQs and rules.
How can we be sure of scores ?
How can you compete with bowlers in a high scoring house ?
HOW DO WE VERIFY SCORES ??
1)
When the team captain uploads scores he must also …attach a copy of the previous weeks… local
league standing sheets. Either a copy from the secretary or copy, paste and attach from league secretary.com . Some score systems and secretary software have the
ability to print reports which can
be emailed or faxed. This part of the league will continue to evolve as we go along, but we will be
very diligent about verification.
2)
A basic part of this league concept is the "Other Game" approach that encourages others to check
reported scores. In the "Other Game", any person discovering and reporting an inaccurate score
reported to the league would receive all of the point, bracket and pot …money the offending team… would have received. Anyone can.. anonymously.. go online at National Bowler, see reported scores
and compare them to local records and a chance to
..anonymously..
collect a violating teams cash.
3) The "Other Game" opportunity and information is to be printed and posted at all centers with online
league bowlers. This is …required as part of the entry form… for NLB league bowlers. The power behind this concept is that it's fun to catch a friends mistake, and most people who cheat have enemies.
4)
Through our other businesses our lawyers are …experienced in multi state cases... For this
league the most likely step would be small claims court. These vary from state to state, in Michigan
for example amounts up to $3500.00 can be addressed in small claims. It's simple, quick, cheap,
and no lawyers are needed.
5) We feel it would actually be very …good PR to prosecute… (not in small claims) a visible case to recover
damages and show we are serious. Any cases would involve actual cash plus damages to the league, which would
far exceed any cash involved.
6) Try to cheat and …we will make you famous... We will make sure the story and photos of any
"alleged" cheater gets to local papers, websites, bowling publications, everywhere. This is a new and public interest story that will get
out to interested people.
HOW DO I COMPITE WITH BOWLERS AT A HIGH SCORING HOUSE ?
1)
This is a simple one.
We all understand how a handicap gives you an even chance when bowling against a better bowler or
team in your own local league. Bowling against a bowler or team at a better scoring house
…is the same
as a better bowler in your own house... Just stop and think about it, if those guys in another
house usually bowl better than you, it's just like the bowlers on your league that usually bowl better than you. The
handicap gives everyone a fair shot. |
