New season schedule

Let me know asap if you can't make it.

I'll try to update next week with lane assignments, if they give them to us.

Da Rules....

To the newbies (and a recap for the rest):  

• I use the blog for all official bowling communications-the schedule is posted, results (when I can) are posted, etc. Feel free to blog yourself as well; if you're interested let me know and I'll ad you as an admin.
• I try to post the schedule the last week of the month.
• Our team name is the Brew Crew. You need to pick out your "old person" name. Currently, Pearl (Christina), Gus (Terry), Esme (Natalie), Ethel (Maria), Wilbur (Doug) and Agnes (Andrea) are taken. Although Abe and Opal are not playing this time around, don't take their names either- yet! :)
• Don't forget you'll need to get your own shirts to match the team. We get our shirts at a local company called Cruisin USA-its on Olive, just north of the loop. They have a website or you can call and place your order, and pick it up there. We wear the Black and White Retro Bowler (item RBSWBBNK)and get the "Brew Crew" screenprint on the pack and our names on the front of the shirts.
• If something comes up and you are going to miss your scheduled night- you are ultimately responsible for finding someone else on the team to take your place. If you can't, you can either get to the center and pre-bowl (go bowl by yourself before bowling night and have the scores count for that night) or bowl "absent". You pay for the night of bowling either way.  
• Please note "Bowling absent"- is a disadvantage to the team because your score is 10 less than your average, so please use this sparingly.  
• The first night should NOT be your best night. I won't use the term "sandbag" but feel free to suck your first 3 games. The rest of the season will be easiest if your average is low and easy to beat each night.
• Many of us also play a card game during the night-$1 per game, so $3 a night. You get cards for strikes and spares and try to build the best poker hand. You're not required to play, but if you're going to, please bring some singles. 

Assuming we're returning back to the Brunzwick Zone off of Olive and Woods Mill: 

• the season starts Tuesday, August 30th.
• Bowling, assuming we bowl at the same place, is $15 per week, and includes 3 games. The season is 16 weeks total. You can pay in cash or check (no credit cards).
• Get to the bowling center around 6:30-6:45. We're given 15 minutes every night to practice, then it starts at 7. If you're running late, let us know. You can get there around 15-20 minutes late and catch up, but let me know if you're going to be late.

I haven't found any other place that will work - but I'll keep you posted.
 
Ok, I think that's it.I'll see you guys soon!
