This is another reason that I stepped away from leagues as well. At $20 dollars a week over a 36 weeks you are looking at $720.00 Now if your team were to win the league and you take how some awards like highest average and high game and what not the most anyone ever walked away with was $450.00 I like bowling for fun but I would like to at least have an opportunity to make back what I put in if I were to win the league. Now most people who are talented are bowling once a week on the weekend in tournaments where for $50 you can have the opportunity to have a amazing return. Sadly for people who really just bowl for fun this is not a option as most tournaments with decent payouts are scratch only. Call it shallow or whatever for bowling for money but even as a kid when I won a tournament I won scholarship money towards college. Love of the game only kept me around so long and sadly I have not been in a league for almost 3 years.
