We hope everyone is enjoying the Labor Day holiday weekend. Maybe some of you are getting some bowling
practice in. Our Mixed Fall League (MFL)
Kickoff Night is 7 days away, on September 13 at 5:00 PM: time flies! Let the excitement build once more!
Your League Managers, JC Squared, have not been idle since Draft Day. We actually have a special announcement on
our league schedule, which of course I am introducing with some poetry:
With the MFL Kickoff Night just one week
away
JC Squared has breaking news on this
Labor Day
We schemed and we dreamed and we made a
few tweaks
Our new MFL schedule now has thirteen
(13) weeks
The chance to play every team we could
not deny
So September 27 is no longer a bye
With thirteen (?!) teams thirteen weeks
worked like a dream
By Finals Week you will have faced every
team
We hope you understand and embrace the revision
It is based on your feedback that we made
this decision
We have a full schedule that looks to be
fun
We hope this new schedule works for every
one
YES!!! No more missed matches with
lucky teams, fortunate enough to escape our clutches…(or poor unfortunate teams
we were not able to have fun with…). Here
is your revised schedule for the 2015 MFL season: all thirteen glorious weeks
of it.

We hope you have touched base with your new teammates: you need to name
your Team Captain by Kickoff Night and decide on your team lineup (order of
players). Since it is SO much easier
coming in on Kickoff Night without having to revise your team lineup, please
take the opportunity to let us know if you need to tweak your team lineup. We have already made adjustments for those
teams that have given us their preferred lineup but the list below assumes that
the highest average male plays last (anchor).
Any other changes let us know!

Some additional reminders on our Kickoff Night:
·
Kickoff Night theme is AMERICANA to commemorate the
triumphs, tragedies and fallen heroes of 9/11.
Any American themed shirt, including red-white-and-blue, American flag,
presidents, heroes, symbols, places, events, parks, celebrities, food, etc. Let your creative flair and imagination show!
·
Please come promptly by 5:00 PM to meet your new
teammates and get settled in.
·
We shall go over the revised rules and revised schedule
by around 5:05 PM, since practice starts automatically at 5:20 PM. We shall also be getting the names of your
chosen Team Captains.
·
Please don’t forget to bring your $16 bowling league
fee, which is required per player on every league night. The $16 bowling fee can be paid in cash with
your Team Captain, or with a credit/debit card at the Limerick Bowl front desk
(bring the receipt for inclusion in the team payment envelope). Let us start some good habits this season and
pay off our bowling fees before we start bowling in the first game. We are counting on the Team Captains to
enforce this throughout the season, starting on Kickoff Night.
·
Please remember to bring $10 for your Philly Pinoy
event registration fee, to be collected by Philly Pinoy officers/volunteers
throughout the night.
·
We shall have the 50/50 Lucky Ticket Raffles
once again, so don’t forget to bring additional cash! Winner takes home half the pot!
·
Please let us know if you are unable to come or
will be late coming to our Kickoff Night, as a courtesy to your teammates and
the league. The league rules on prebowls,
substitutes, tardiness and absences will already apply. Contact us with any questions and concerns.
We are providing the revised League Rules here based on the change in schedule
and number of weeks. We are maintaining
a list of league substitutes so please contact us if you need a substitute or
know of people interested in being considered as substitutes for the league.
So ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!?! Your
individual averages will be set with the three games you play on Kickoff Night,
but every point counts towards your team’s overall wins, so every pin in every game
counts! Let’s bring it on!
Summer has come and gone

weeks of regulation play starting on 13-SEP-2015 (Kickoff Night) and ending on 06-DEC-2015. Awards Ceremony will be held on 06-DEC-2015.
2.
Interested parties must sign up by providing
their contact information (email and cell phone) to the League Managers. A $10 Philly Pinoy event registration fee is
required for participation, due by the League Kickoff Night, 13-SEP-2015.
3.
League Teams:
a.
The League Managers are responsible for creating
teams of 3-4 players based on bowler averages and number of players. The intent is to systematically create teams
with comparable team handicaps, and to encourage greater social interaction among
the league participants.
i.
Teams will be mixed, containing at least one
female bowler.
ii.
Each bowler’s most recent Philly Pinoy MFL,
Winter League, or other official league average will be used to form the teams. Players with no applicable average must play
three official games on or before the MFL Draft Day to set their average and be
eligible to join the league. Arrangements
can be made directly with the League Managers and Limerick Bowl to set averages
before Draft Day.
iii.
Interested players with set averages can choose
to play as league substitutes (subs).
There will be no team subs, only league subs.
b.
Each team must appoint a Team Captain, who will
determine the team lineup and collect the bowling fees due each league night.
c.
The 2015 MFL teams, team number and team names
(based on BAHAY KUBO vegetables) will be determined, assigned and announced
after all player averages are set on MFL Draft Day, 23-AUG-2015 at Limerick
Bowl. Bowling on MFL Draft Day will be
$2 per game and will start at 5:30 PM.
4.
MFL Kickoff Night on 13-SEP-2015 will start promptly
at 5:00 PM, to allow for teams to decide their Team Captains and for the final
league rules to be discussed with the League Managers. All league players MUST be present (or
otherwise represented) at the Kickoff.
5.
Practice and match play for all weeks in
regulation play will begin promptly at 5:20 PM.
Lanes will be freshly oiled per USBC specifications, but the league is
not USBC-sanctioned.
6.
Team Captains will collect the bowling fee of
$16 from their team mates and submit their team’s payment envelope to the
Limerick Bowl front desk BEFORE the start of bowling each week. NO PAY, NO PLAY.
a.
Subs will be responsible for the $16 league fee
on the night they play. Registration fee
of $10 does not apply to subs (waived).
b.
Bowling fee for pre-bowls and absentee bowlers
must be promptly paid by the following week of regulation play, or the bowler
cannot bowl (absentee score will be used).
7.
All proceeds will be allotted as cash prizes for
participants. Planned cash prizes will
be announced to league members by the third week of league play. Substitutes are not eligible for cash prizes.
8.
Handicap and Scoring
a.
The 2015 MFL League individual player averages
will be established on Kickoff Night.
Previous averages are only required/used to form the teams.
b.
Individual handicap will be 90% based on score
of 220. For example, average of 150 will
have handicap of (220-150)*0.9 = 63.
c.
Four-point system will be used, with one point
for each game won and one point for total pins per series/night. A tie will give each team 0.5 points.
d.
Team rankings at the end of the league will be
based on total points won. USBC League
schedules will apply for all 12 weeks of the league season (no position round
weeks). Total handicapped pins will be
considered in case of a tie.
e.
Limerick Bowl will manage scoring, team rankings
and handicaps on behalf of the league.
Scores, team standings and handicaps will be available on the Limerick
Bowl website (http://www.limerickbowl.com/), with paper copies provided to team
captains each week. Any corrections or
disputes on scoring must be brought promptly to the attention of the League
Managers for resolution.
9.
Special situations
a.
A legal lineup will consist of one player. Bowling MUST begin when legal lineups (one
player, including prebowl or substitute) from each team are present. No postponements for late players.
b.
Absentee score (blind score) will be the
player’s average minus ten pins. Team
Captains and League Managers must be notified if a player will be absent or may
be arriving late.
c.
Late comers may bowl on a given night ONLY IF no
player from their team and the opposing team has bowled the tenth frame of the
first game by the time they arrive. Once
the first game begins, the late comer’s absentee score (average minus ten pins)
will apply for the first game, and the late comer can only play on the second
and third games. Players arriving after
the second game starts cannot play that night; their blind score applies for
the night.
d.
A maximum of four (4) prebowls per player will
be allowed until the 12th night of league play (prebowls are advance
make-up sessions for planned absences on a league night). Prebowls will not be allowed on Week 13 Finals
Night. Prebowl time slots at Limerick
Bowl can be scheduled from Monday to Friday at 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, or Sunday to
Thursday from 9:00 pm to closing.
e.
A list of available subs will be provided. Team Captains are responsible for contacting
subs to play for their team. Only one
substitute can play per team on a given night.
Subs are not eligible to play on Week 13 Finals Night.
f.
USBC rules will apply in situations not covered
above. Special situations will be

Example, if $40 worth of tickets is sold on a given night, the winning
ticket holder gets $20, and the remaining $20 goes to the pot for league prize
money.
