Welcome to the Winter 2020 edition of the CLUBWAKA Hampton Roads Bowling League! We're set to go for another phenomenal season - our biggest season to date! There is plenty of information on the season website including the Rules, but keep reading for additional notes to help guide us through this adventure together.
My name is Jennifer Neal and I'll be your Community Coordinator. 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 me or send a message to jneal@clubwaka.com.
Due to being pregnant with twins, I will not be bowling this season. If you have any questions during league play and I am not there, please find Brent Wentworth Jr. (Obviously Not Golfers - Orange) to help - he will be the main point of contact at the lanes.
RULES AND FORMAT
Please take some time to review the League Rules and Best Practices. Some highlights:
- For each game played, the top four scores (including 1 of each gender) will count toward a team's 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 half of teams will make the Championship bracket. The bottom half will make the Consolation Championship bracket. The playoffs will last two weeks and the teams with the highest total pins over weeks 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 Sheets spreadsheet. You can view not only the current season, but past seasons. The spreadsheet will also be available on the league website, in the league Facebook group (pinned as an announcement), and embedded below.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Speaking of Facebook, we encourage everyone to join the CLUBWAKA Peninsula Bowling group. This is a great forum to discuss the games, ask questions, and share photos and videos of your shenanigans each week. If you're posting about the league on Instagram, please tag @clubwaka in your photos/videos so we can see you!

- At least one male and one female score will count toward the Team Pin Total.
- Please ensure all scores are legible.
