Some True BS...

I'm a bit perturbed (well, really perturbed on Monday, but have since normalized...well, as normal as I get anyway) at the league secretary for the league I bowl in on Mondays. Here's the scenario:

A team has a problem come up and needs to pre-bowl. They call the secretary and get permission on Sunday afternoon. They bowl. Monday night rolls around and the pre-bowl team is bowling the league secretary's team (therefore, they notified a officer and opposing team captain). After 8 full frames into game 1, the secretary calls a captain's meeting to see if the scores should be allowed. Official league rules state pre-bowls must be set up 1 week in advance, but the secretary has allowed others to prebowl on short notice and he gave permission again this time. After the meeting, it was voted to not allow those scores, but to let the team post-bowl. If the pre-bowl scores were allowed, the secretary's team would have lost 25 points (only won 5). Keep in mind his team is currently in first place too.

Here's my problem with this crap. The secretary approved the pre-bowl on Sunday. He knew the schedule. He knew the issue prior to game 1 ever starting, but did not call a meeting until nearly the end of game 1 when it was clear his team was getting pounded. There were no other league officers in the center that night. The secretary has allowed short notice prebowls in the past (when they weren't against his team). All of this adds up to me like the secretary was attempting to cheat. It is absolutely ridiculous. I know several people were upset about it and at least 1 is going to inform the USBC about the situation. I for one am just pulling for a vote at the banquet to get a new secretary, because this one is awful.

That's all. That's my rant. Enjoy your day.
