Bowling Extravaganza Rules
Each team has 8 players. Only teams with 8 different named players may be placed in the final top three positions.
In the event that a team has less than 8 players this is how it will be handled.
The system for calculating the results for teams with different numbers of players will be as follows:
At the start of each game the numbers of players are entered into the system by the Bowling Management eg 6, 7 or 8 players. Teams will complete the Team Sheet, using actual names and return to the Organisers Table, before the games begin.
A team with less than 8 members cannot play additional fictional members to make the numbers up to 8.
Team scores are calculated as follows to enable scores between teams with a different number of members to be comparable.
• Team of 8 - total score from 2 games
• Team of 7 - total score from 2 games, divided by 7, then multiplied by 8
• Team of 6 - total score from 2 games, divided by 6, then multiplied by 8
• Teams of less than 6 can play but will not count in the final results.
The computerised system will provide the scores of each team member on each lane, which will then have to be added up by BLAGSS officials who will then apply the above calculation. The computer cannot do the maths across the two games.
This system is the one recommended by Bowlplex Management and is widely used at Corporate and Social events such as the BLAGSS event and will be used for this event.
