Leagues

The Wednesday Evening Triples League consists of two 9 week sessions . You may sign up for either or both sessions. Entry costs $15 per session. Cash prizes are awarded at our annual banquet to the first, second and third place teams in each session. Teams are assigned by the League Director with each having a skip, vice-skip and lead. 

League Play

• • Tuesday play begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday play begins promply at 7:00 p.m. Players are encouraged to arrive before that time. Some latitude for late arrivals is permitted.

  • The league schedule, rules, and standings are posted on the bulletin board on the greens. 

  • The team winning a pre-match coin toss will choose to bowl first or second.

  • Matches are 14 ends. 3 match points will be awarded for a win, 0 match points for a loss. Ties will be played off on a 15th end. 2 match points will be awarded to the winner of that end, 1 match point to the loser.

  • Both league standings are based on the number of wins first. If wins are tied, head to head record will be the first tie breaker. Match points will be second, plus points will be third, total scored poimts will be fourth if needed.

  • Winning teams will be awarded no more than 7 plus points for a win. For example: a team winning 15 – 3 will get 15 points and the maximum 7 plus points, a team winning 15 – 10 will get 15 points and 5 plus points, the difference between 15 and 10.

  • Bowlers use 4 bowls each in a Tuesday match, and use 3 each in a Wednesday match.

  • Dead ends will play the re-spot rule as follows: We follow the single respot rule. jack placed 2 meters from the ditch on the center line.

  • Team play with absent bowlers: If you plan to be absent, you must arrange a sub and notify your skip who the sub will be. If a player expects to miss 3 or more sessions, they should sign up as a sub, not a regular team member. In the case of unforeseen absences players may contact their skip to arrange for a sub.

  • If a skip is absent, the remaining team member(s) must skip. Subs cannot skip in either league.

  • Tuesday league: A forfeit occurs only if neither team member is present. Forfeits are a win for the present team, a loss for the forfeiting team. If both teams have only one player, they will play a singles match. If only one team is missing a player a cut throat game will be played. A cut-throat game in pairs has the 2-man team using 3 bowls each/6 total vs the single player's 4 bowls. The 2-man team has the option to use their extra bowl at the beginning or end of the end.

  • Wednesday league: Play may occur with only 1 team member and 2 subs present. If only 2 members are present, that team will bowl 4 bowls each, alternating with the 3 member team, who will have the first and last bowl. If only one player is present, that team will forfeit.

  • Weather stoppage during play is at the descretion of the league chair. If 7 ends are completed scores at that point will stand. If less than 7 ends are played, it will be considered a cancellation.

  • Cancellations: If play is cancelled due to weather prior to play, players will receive an email to that effect 1 hour before play is to begin. If there is no email, we WILL play. Cancellations will not be replayed.

Players are encouraged to join us every other week for a post game coffee and cookie night at the clubhouse.
