CLUBWAKA RVA Bowling - Winter '18 Guide

Thank you for joining the CLUBWAKA RVA Bowling League! We're set to go for our first phenomenal season! There is plenty of information on the season websites including the Rules, but keep reading for additional notes to help guide us through this adventure together.

My name is Brent Wentworth, the GM of CLUBWAKA Richmond, and I'll be supporting your Community Coordinator, Francis Fernandez. Overall, my goal is to help ensure everyone has the best experience possible. If you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to have a chat with either of us. We can be reached at brent@clubwaka.com and ffernandez@clubwaka.com. 

RULES AND FORMAT

Please take some time to review the League Rules and Format doc. Some highlights: 

• For each game played, the top four scores (including 1 of each gender) will count towards a teams total pins for the week. 
• There are no wins and losses. Each week you are bowling against all teams and your total pins will determine your ranking. 
• Playoffs: The top three teams will make the Championship bracket. The bottom three teams will make the Consolation Championship bracket. The playoffs will last two weeks and the teams with the highest total pins over week 7&8 will win the respective trophies. 
• Please follow proper bowling etiquette

STANDINGS, ROSTERS, SCORES, SCHEDULE, AND TOP PERFORMANCES

Throughout the season, the results will be recorded on this google doc. You can access it on that link there or view it on the league website or CLUBWAKA Richmond Facebook group (pinned to top). 

Inside the Google doc, there are four tabs: 

• Standings: This shows the total pins by week and the total rankings
• Scores: Shows full rosters and individual scores by week. 
• Schedule: Weekly lane assignments can be found here. 
• Best: Recognizes top performances throughout the season
