Good Evening Wednesday Night Men,
Due to further guidance and specific directives of certain local and state governments
regarding COVID-19, all Bowl America locations will remain temporarily closed until the end of
April. With said, I will need the input of all team captains and the other league officials on
how we should proceed with the remainder of the season.
After speaking with Bowl America, the center manager, Fred Cramton and other league
officers, we’ve been given a few suggestions that are listed below.
Option 1: We end the season with the current standings (quarters 1-3 are completed), Ray
and I will adjust the prize fund to the best of our abilities, refund any payments made
beyond week 25, submit for our prize fund check and then distribute winnings. Should we
decide to go this route, please be advised, this process will take a few weeks as we’ll have to
go through proper Bowl America procedures.
Option 2: We resume the season when Bowl America reopens and continue the season on
into the summer. If Bowl America reopens as of May 1st, we would finish the 4th quarter on
July 1st, the singles tournament would be held on July 8th and the championship roll off
would be held on July 15th.
If we were to resume the season after the bowling center reopens, we would also have the
possibility of bowling twice a week to finish the season sooner than previously mentioned
(E.g. bowling on Wednesday and Thursday.) If that were the case, we would finish
approximately June 17th (We would vote when to finish when we resume.)
In lieu of an actual meeting, I’m asking all team captains to contact me either by email, text
or phone call to cast a vote for their respective team. Please make every effort to
communicate with your teammates so you can cast your vote accordingly. When casting the
vote for your team, please make a note of your team number or name, so that I can keep
track of all the votes.
Just a reminder, that this email address does not accept replies. You can always reach us
during normal business hours at the contact info below. Thank you all for bowling with us this
season and we appreciate your understanding and support during this time. We will continue
to monitor the situation to re-open as soon as possible and we look forward to welcoming you
back in the near future.
Sincerely,
Joshua Atkins
WNM League Secretary/Treasurer
