The Kray Cray Cajun Draft League (presented by Bowling Dynamix) is Houston's PREMIER summer league for high-average bowlers. Consisting of forty (40) 4 member teams, the league bowls Thursdays at Emerald Bowl, practice starts at 6:50 pm THE LEAGUE WILL BOWL ON THE STONE STREET PATTERN
THIS IS A SCRATCH LEAGUE DESIGNED FOR COMPETITIVE BOWLERS
THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER LEAGUE
Only the top twenty (20) teams cash in this league. Distribution of prize fund to the top 20 teams are voted on by the league members.
Bowlers enter the draft as a single. The 40 bowlers with the highest averages are designated captains and draft the teams. Draft order will be done from lowest to highest average. After each round, the averages of the team members will be added together and reordered smallest to largest to determine the next draft order. Bowlers who bowled the previous summer's Draft League will use that average, everyone else will use their composite average from bowl.com The draft is done live on Facebook. This year the draft will be done June 6 starting around 2:30 pm. The draft will be done from the bar at Emerald Bowl.
Since the league is twice the size as previous years, some captains have expressed concern about not knowing everyone registered for the draft. To help with that, there is a Combine on 6/6 starting at 11am. Draft League registered players will have the opportunity to "show their stuff" on the Stone Street Pattern to the captains. It is suggested bowlers wear a name shirt so captains can identify you. Combine cost is $20 paid to Emerald Bowl. AFTER the combine, and during the draft, Tablady Toolbox will be running a Draft League Fast Cash sweeper. Cost for this event is $50, payable to Tablady Toolbox. Again, these events are open ONLY to those registered for the Draft League.
100% of funds after lineage go into the prize fund. Mike does not take a secretary fee. League sponsorships, equipment raffles and a portion of the brackets all help increase the prize fund. This year, Hammer partnered to contribute 4 balls for members of the first place team, in addition to their prize money. A $25 franchise fee is collected from every bowler, 100% of which goes into the prize fund. Special Thanks to Mike Dole of Brunswick for providing balls and and Omar Arnett/NDO for negotiating this perk for the winning team!
Each week 4 games are bowled. The first 2 games each week are position round. The second 2 games are regular league games. The season is 12 weeks long starting June 3rd.
The final week all 4 games will be bowled as position round. This is a large league. Payout date will be announced on the first night of bowling.
Brackets/High Game/ Eliminator will be available.
It's summer - there will be substitutes needed. Substitutes must have a composite average NO GREATER than the bowler they are substituting. All average decisions will be made by the League Secretary and are final. If you are interested in being a sub, please contact Mike Austin.
Registering for the draft is free. Please note, while there are only 160 spots, there may be more than 160 bowlers registered. You may or may not be drafted for a team. Registration does not guarantee a spot on a team. The top 40 averages are the captains - no exceptions.
