TwitterLooking to find out some league games ya’ll play at your bowling alley? We use to have 3-6-9 (strike in those frames) but no longer have it. I run the brackets for others to win money, but we are looking for other ideas for fun league games to do. Just looking to see which ya’ll do on your leagues?

We did two different things (also for money). The first game was high game jackpot, or as we called it, flower fund. The second game was pins over average.
Have you ever tried poker? I haven’t played in a while, but if I remember right, you drew a card for a spare and I think two if you struck.
I don’t know what type of bowling you do, but I own a candlepin bowling alley in the Boston area.
Sometimes, we play a game called odd-pin, or odd-ball. The object of the game is just like bowling, except that if your score is an even number (2,4,6,8 or 10) you get a zero in the frame. If you get a mark (strike or spare) your fill must be odd in order to keep the mark – or else you get a zero.
If you get a double strike, triple, etc., your final fill (at the end of the run of strikes) must be an odd number, or you lose all of the strikes too!
This obviously is more a game of luck than skill.
Another game we have is called “best-ball” which is usually played with doubles teams. Both bowlers get up on a lane and each throw their first ball. The team then chooses which bowler has the best chance of making a spare and then that bowlers finishes the frame for the team.
You get some really high scoring games in Best Ball!
