6. Team/Individual averages/cap: All teams’ MAXIMUM total average

CANNOT exceed 812. All members will use Greater Denver (book) USBC

averages from the previous two years cumulatively. If there is not a Denver

average, a national average (bowl.com) will be used. Any bowler without a

verifiable average for the last five (5) years will use 203 (one fourth of the

team average) or the highest USBC average of the last league bowled, which

ever is greater. Sport averages will not be used unless it is the only average

that is available. If so it will be adjusted using USBC rule 204 and will be

used to compute cumulative average. Any league averages having bowled less

than 21 games will not be used. The lowest entering average will be 170.

A bowler with an entering average less then 170 may still participate, but the

team will use a 170 score for an average for that bowler. It will be the team

captains’ responsibility to insure averages are true and correct. Both the

President and Vice President will be the enforcer for ALL averages.

7. Legal Lineup: The legal line-up is two (2) regular members. Substitutes

do not count towards a legal line-up. A minimum of two members must be

present before the start of the game or they will be considered absent. Late

members may be added at or before the third frame, after the third frame they

must wait until the following game. All lineups will be set up from lowest

average first, to highest average last in order. This order may or may not

change weekly based upon scores bowled. After twelve (12) games your new

established average will be used.

8. 10 pin / 40 pin drop: If bowling a vacant team, a team without a legal

line-up or a team without a complete roster, you must bowl within 10 pins of

your individual average or 40 pins for the team average to win your points.

The 10 pin drop rule will start immediately if a bowler is absent, there is no

grace period. If a bowler misses three consecutive weeks, the average will drop

an initial 10 pins per week until the bowler returns or a substitute/replacement

has been found.

9. Award Eligibility: There will be $100 paid out after every week bowled

for the highest weekly team scratch series. This money will be paid out to the

winning team after practice the following week and these monies do NOT come

out of the prizefund. All bowlers must bowl 84 games to qualify for Individual

awards. Each bowler will be allowed to win one (1) Individual award plus high

average and MVP. If a bowler qualifies for multiple awards, the award with the

highest monetary value will be used.
