The Night of Champions (& a few reminders)

Bowlers,

The Night of Champions is next week.  I'm sure those of you new to the league are wondering what in the hell is the Night of Champions.  Well, in addition to being the night to crown the league champion for 2013, it is a wondrous night filled with enough spectacle and pageantry that last year the Garden City Tribune compared it to the Mecolies (the Mexican equivalent of the daytime Emmy awards) & the Canadian baseball playoffs all rolled into one.  It's really one of those things that's hard to explain and you have to experience to truly appreciate.  Kind of like going to the dentist. 

A few things to keep in mind for the Night of Champions.  The matches pit #1 vs. #2, #3 vs. #4 and so on.  The are also winner take all.  So, no matter how much you've sucked all year, hope remains to move up in the final standings.

Over the years the Night of Champions has really marked the start of the holiday season.


Now even though we only have two weeks left in the season, there are a couple of reminders.
- Make sure you turn your scorecards / clipboards in to to me at the end of the night (after writing down your scores)
- The Westy's employees enjoy handling used bowling shoes about as much as you do.  They request that you untie them before turning them in.
- Clean up after yourselves.  That includes putting your ball back on the rack and your food baskets / cups.  The last couple of weeks it has looked like a Homeless camp had just left to go dumpster diving.
- Tip your waitress  (I've actually never had a complaint about this one, so thank you to everybody)
