Leagues & Scoring


Many people avoid joining bowling leagues, because they don’t think they are good enough to compete with the higher average bowlers. This is a total misconception. Most leagues offered by bowling centers are handicapped leagues.

Handicap leagues are leagues that give bowlers of all levels a chance to win. The handicap (in most leagues) is between 90% & 100%.

Example: the four bowlers on your team average one hundred each (total 400) the bowlers on the team you are bowling against average 150 each (total 600) your team would receive an additional 180 – 200 pins added onto your score. This gives the inexperienced bowlers a good chance of winning.

So don’t be afraid to take a chance. Come join one of our handicap leagues today. You won’t regret it!
