FREE BOWLING!!

I’ll be stuffing the league envelopes with inserts referencing our “Free Bowling Trivia Challenge” tonight, so in anticipation of increased traffic seeking information on the subject, I’ll talk about it here and a few more times over the next week.

Each week on Thursday I post a weekly recap on how our night of bowling went.  I include in the recap a bowling challenge that has two parts to it. The first part is on the blog in the recap.  I ask a trivia question of my choosing and sometimes of my creation to you.  Answer the question via comments on the blog or in person by 6:15 Wednesday night.  That’s step one.

If you answer the question correctly, you then proceed to step two on the next night of bowling.  In game 1, bowl at least +10 pins over average to qualify for the free bowling giveaway.  I say “qualify” because with the possibility of multiple winners, someone could get left out!

As follows: This week I have 15 games to give away.  If I have just a single winner, as has happened the past two weeks, that winner takes home all 15 games.  But if I have multiple winners, the game distribution works as follows:  2 winners, 9 games to highest pins over average, 6 games to next.

3 winners-7 games to highest, 4 games each to next two winners;

4 winners-6 games to highest, 3 games each to next three;

5 winners-3 games apiece to each winner.

6 or more winners-3 games each to 5 bowlers with highest pins over average.  So while it hasn’t happened yet, someone or several could be left out of winning.

And if it happens that I have no winners on a given week, that week’s games get carried over to the following week’s giveaway.  Entry is free, all you need to do is go to your blog and answer the trivia question to be eligible.  And if you don’t need the games, maybe your children would enjoy a free bowling experience.  Good Luck!!

WELCOME TO HIGH SOCIETY 2009!!

Hello there! If you’re reading this I hope you’re from our bowling league, High Society on Wednesday nights at Via Linda. If so, you can probably tell from the photo of your league officers Christina and Brian that you are in the right place. The purpose for this entry is to detail some of the features we are adding to the league. I will be talking about them on opening night, but some of the features contain details, and I know how busy opening night meetings can go.

PRIZE FUND-We will be contributing $2,000 to the league prize fund.

GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY-Every league member can automatically participate, no entry fee, no sign-ups necessary. Beginning week#2, a $25 gift card will be given away to the game two most pins over average bowler. You are required to report your score to me, cut-off is 8:30. I will not check the league for scores, it is entirely up to you to let me know!

BLOG FREE BOWLING TRIVIA CHALLENGE:
-each week I will post a trivia question on this blog site (highsocietybowling.wordpress.com). Give me the answer in person or via blog comment. Bowl +10 over average in game 1 to qualify.
-Each week I will give away either 15, 18, or 21 games of bowling, depending on my inventory. Each winner will receive a minimum of 3 free games, so the number of winners is capped dependant upon the number of free games available. 15 games means 5 winners max.
-The twist is as long as I have 1 winner, I will give all my games away! So on a 21-game night, if I have 1 winner, he/she receives 21 free games. Two winners would be split 11/10, the higher # of games going to the bowler most over average. So on and so on.
-If I have no winners, the games carry over to the next week, so a whole bunch of free games are possible.   It is possible I may have to change this format, dependant upon participation.  If so, I’ll post the details here when they occur.

So each night offers the opportunity for some fun winnings! Hope to see lots of participants, make this fun!!
