VA Peninsula Bowling - Schedule Updates & Playoff Format

Happy MLK Jr. Day! I wanted to Just wanted to provide a few updates on the schedule. Due to the snow-out, we have pushed last week's scheduled games to tonight.

The playoffs which were scheduled to begin on 1/23, have been pushed back a week and a new round of regular season games has scheduled.

Playoffs 

Speaking of playoffs, let's go over the format for the winter 2017 season. With only 2 weeks slotted and 10 teams, it provided a unique challenge, but I think Keith & I came up with a good solution.

Round 1 - January 30th: The top 8 teams will be paired off in a single elimination format. (1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5). The winners of each head to head matchup will earn a berth in the championship four-way on February 6th.

NOTE: The 9th and 10th ranked teams will be scheduled to play each other in a fun game.

Round 2 - February 6th: The winning teams from round 1 will face off in a four-way match. Two games will be bowled as usual. The team with the most pins (from their top four scores each game) will be crowned the league champion!

NOTE: The remaining 6 teams who did not make the final four will also be scheduled in exhibition games for fun and bragging rights. Everyone will get to bowl a full 7 weeks.

PARTY!

This Saturday, we have our CLUBWAKA January Party. All members of the VA Peninsula Bowling League are invited to come out to COUNTY GRILL HAMPTON (45 E Mercury Blvd, Hampton). The event starts at 3:30 PM and all CLUBWAKA members will enjoy free beer! We have a keg of Bud Light and Rolling Rock on tap for us, along with $13.99 wing buckets and $5 appetizers. (The food at County is amazing, so this is worth coming out for alone.) You definitely don't want to miss this celebration!

SPRING SEASON! 

Although we're all focused on closing out this season the right way, we also have to look forward to the spring, which is right around the corner! We are moving to Sunday evenings at 5:30 pm which will allow us to include more teams. The season begins on February 26th and it's starting to fill up nicely.
