Co-ed 4v4 Open Bowling

Number of Players on the Field

Each team consists of 4 players. Teams can have any combination of men and women as long as the total number of people on each team equals 4. A player is able to pre-bowl or sit out if unable to play a certain week.

A player can choose to pre-bowl if he/she knows that they will not be able to make an upcoming session and would like to bowl in advance. If the player decides to pre-bowl, that individual must schedule with the bowling alley a time to come in before the date of the game they are pre-bowling for. Their score will be added to the total of the rest of their teams score and will impact the teams overall total score.

If the individual sits out the individual will get his or her average score minus 10 pins. Their average is determined by the performance of their first week. Their score will be added to the total of the rest of their teams score and will impact the teams overall total score.

Number of Players on a Team

If a player signs up as an individual (not for a specific team) they will be placed on a team that has 1-3 players, inclusive.

Once the league starts, the roster is considered final. No additions may be made during the course of the bowling league.

Walk Ons

No walk ons are allowed, however, guests and spectators are greatly encouraged.

Player Eligibility

All participants must be at least 18 years of age to play and 21 years of age to drink alcoholic beverages at the alley.

Player Transfers

Once a player is registered with a team, he or she may not switch to a different team in the same league without the written authorization of the team manager/captain and approval from a Joimo sports director.

Player Equipment

Bowling shoes are required by the lanes. Bowling shoes can be purchased online and in retail stores. Shoes can also be rented at the lane each week for a small rental fee.

Forfeits

There are no forfeits. If a team doesn’t show up and has not pre-bowled, they will simply be getting their average score each game minus 10 pins for each player. If the players pre-bowl then they will get the score that they pre-bowled for each individual game, ultimately, added to their combined team score.

If an entire team is unable to make it and they know they cannot make it in advance. The team can collectively decide to post bowl (or pre-bowl) where they will schedule a date and time amongst each other and confirm that date and time works for bowling alley. This can be done after a league match.

Duration of the Game

The game will consist of 3 games for both teams.

Method of Scoring

Scoring will take into account a players score and the players particular handicap. Each player is assigned a handicap based on their skill level. Novice bowlers will tend to have a higher handicap while more skilled bowlers will have a lower handicap. The handicap is determined after the first week based on the average of the players score.

Scoring is based on a point system. You earn 2 points each game if your total team score for the particular game is greater than your opponents team score. You also earn 2 points if your total team score added up for three games is greater than your opponents total team score for three games. Only 1 point is awarded for a tie. Based on the scoring system, a maximum of eight points is possible each week.

For example if Joe, John, Jared, and Jack are on a team.

Game 1:
Joe bowls a 130 and has a 70 pin handicap = 200
John bowls a 150 and has a 50 pin handicap = 200
Jared bowls a 140 and has a 50 pin handicap = 190
Jack bowls a 200 and has a 10 pin handicap = 210

For game 1, their total score is 800. If that score is greater than their opponents they will win 2 points for game 1. The same scoring criterion is applied to games 2 and 3. Finally, the 800 pins is added to the total pins of games 2 and 3. If the total pins is greater than that of the players opponents pin count an additional 2 points will be awarded.

At the end of the league, team with the most points will be declared the winner.

Number of Players on a Team

If a player signs up as an individual (not for a specific team) they will be placed on a team of 8 to 11 players, inclusive. Every player that signs up as an individual will be provided a Joimo t-shirt that they must wear to every game. Teams made up of individual sign ups are permitted to bring walk on players (see Walk Ons) as long as the majority of the team votes that it is okay. A Joimo sports director will decide if the votes, for and against, are equal.

If a player signs up for a specific team they must have a minimum of 10 players on their roster. There is no maximum to the number of players they can have on their roster. However, once the league starts, the roster is considered final. Any additional players, not on the roster, can play for the team as a walk on (see Walk Ons). Joimo t-shirts will only be provided for the first 10 players and each additional player must purchase a Joimo t-shirt for $10 (price is subject to change).

Walk Ons

A team is allowed to bring an unlimited number of walk on players to the each game but they are subject to pay $10 per game and pass all player eligibility. In addition, the walk on player must sign a waiver of liability and play for only one team in that league. The walk on player will be added to that team's roster. No new walk on players will be allowed to play during the playoffs, only walk on players who are on the roster and have played at least one game in the regular season.

Player Eligibility

All participants must be at least 18 years of age or older and bring proper identification documentation (driver's license, ID card, passport, or military id) to every game for check in.

No jewelry, earrings, hats, or bracelets will be allowed in play unless properly bandaged and approved by the referee. Females are allowed to play in men's leagues but not vice versa.

Player Transfers

Player Equipment

The goalkeeper must wear colors which distinguish them from the other players and the referee. Each player must wear their Joimo team shirts. If a walk on player is present they will have to wear a shirt of similar color. Shin guards and shoes are required. Cleats are not allowed. Players without proper equipment will be sent off the field until the referee is satisfied. In this case another player on the same team will be able to come on the field. A game ball of size 3 or 5, nets, and goals (6x6 feet) will be provided by the league.

Substitutions

Substitutions are only allowed in the following situations: (a) when your team has a goal kick, corner kick, or throw-in, (b) when a player is injured and needs to come out of the game, (c) when a goal is scored, either team may substitute. Before substitution notify the referee.

Slide Tackling

No slide tackling is allowed. The goalkeeper may slide in their own penalty box and if momentum should carry them outside the penalty box, the slide will be allowed. Total discretion will be to the referee.

Forfeits

If a team cannot field 3 players upon ten minutes of start time then they will forfeit the game. A forfeit occurs after ten minutes from start time and one or both teams are unable to field the minimum of 3 players per team. The forfeit will be recorded in a loss of 0-3. If a forfeit is unavoidable, the forfeiting team may notify Joimo at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled match time; otherwise the team will be charged a $30 fee and cannot play another game till the fee is paid. In case of a forfeit Joimo will do its best to find a replacement team but does not guarantee placement.

Goalkeepers

A goalkeeper is not allowed to intentionally handle the ball with his/her hands if a team-mate has intentionally passed the ball to them with either their feet or directly from a throw-in. A goalkeeper is allowed to handle the ball with his/her hands if a teammate passed it to them, in the air or on the ground, by a part of the body other than the foot (i.e., knee, head, shoulder). Players are not allowed to flick the ball up from the ground to themselves, before heading it back to the goalkeeper. This would be deemed as ungentlemanly conduct, and would result in a free kick being awarded. Any free kick awarded within 3 yards of the goal, will be moved at least 3 yards from the goal. Judgment of placement will be determined by the referee. Additionally, goalkeepers can kick or throw the ball as far as they like. Goalkeepers cannot punt the ball.

Referees

The referee is responsible for enforcing the "Laws of the Game" and all league rules. All decisions of the referee shall be final. There will be only one referee per game. At the end of each game the referee shall submit the game record and results to the Joimo sports director, including all additional information, such as roster, misconduct, injuries, etc.

Duration of the Game

The game shall be divided up into two equal periods of 25 minutes each. If a match is tied after 50 minutes the match is declared a tie. There will be a 5 minute halftime. Official game time will be held by the referee. No time outs! If a game should be cancelled, for any reason, with more than half of the game already played, the current score is considered to be final. If a game should be cancelled within the first half, for any reason, the game will be considered a bye for both teams.

The Start of Play

The winner of a coin flip decides which team will kick off or what side of the field to start play on. Home team will call the coin flip.

Tie Games

During regular season games, if a game ends in a tie, it is recorded as a tie. However, if it is during the playoffs, both teams will continue playing in a sudden death round (first team to score, wins) for two 5 minute halves.

If teams are still tied after the sudden death rounds, there will be penalty kick face-off. Each team will pick 5 players, which were on the field at the end of the second sudden death round, to kick first. Kicks must be taken by 3 men and 2 women, in any order. All shootout kicks are worth one point. First kick will be determined by a coin flip, where the coin flip winner can choose to kick or defend first. Once all 5 players have kicked, the team with the most points will be declared the winner. If after 5 kicks the score is still tied, kicks will be made with the remaining players. No player can kick twice until every on their team has gone.

Method of Scoring

A goal is scored when the whole of the ball has passed over the goal line, between the goal posts and under the cross bar, whether on the ground or in the air.

Method of Scoring

A goal is scored when the whole of the ball has passed over the goal line, between the goal posts and under the cross bar, whether on the ground or in the air. A team cannot score a goal until a female teammate has touched the ball on their offensive side. The team can satisfy this rule in any of the following cases (on their offensive side of the field): a female touches the ball with any legal body part, a female takes a throw in, or a female takes a corner kick. If the defensive team has regained possession (meaning they have control over the ball, which is ultimately up to referee's discretion), then the offensive team will lose any female touch and will have to regain possession and get another female touch. If the ball should enter the goal without a female touch it will be ruled a free kick taken from the goal-kick box. It is up to the referee to rule if a female touch occurred. There are only two exceptions to the female touch rule. The first is that a female player can score a goal from her defensive side, without ever having been on the offensive side. The second is for a free kick (not including corner kicks), where the kicker can be male or female. In the case of a free kick (not including corner kicks), consider that the female touch rule is satisfied prior to the kick. Therefore, if the keeper deflects the shot, a male or female can immediately attempt to score. Once the defensive team has regained possession, the offensive team will need to regain a female touch.

A Player may ask for a time out/stoppage of play from the referees if a player is hurt or court conditions become a hazard. Play will continue once issue has been resolved.

The Start of Play

Game begins by placing the six dodgeballs along the center line. Players then take a position behind their end line. Following a signal by the official, any player may run to these balls. Each player who retrieved a ball must run back to the starting line before throwing the ball.

Out of Bounds

Players are not allowed to go out of bounds when trying to dodge or catch a ball. If a player goes out of bounds to avoid either being hit with a ball or catching a ball than that player will be considered out and not the opposing player who threw the ball.

A player may leave the boundaries through their end-line only to retrieve a stray ball. The player retrieving the stray ball will only have 10 seconds to get the ball and must re-enter through their end-lines. The referee will notify each team of the out of bounds lines before each game and total discretion is based on the referee.

Fouls/Outs

When the ball hits you and then hits the ground you are out and must leave the court of play. A player can touch the center line (neutral line) but crossing the center line with his/her foot will be considered an out (total discretion is to the referee).

Head Shots

There is no throwing at the head of opposing players. All balls must be thrown shoulder length or below. A warning will be issued by the referee to the team throwing the dodgeball above the shoulders and than if continued the referee can issue technical fouls or ejections. If a player purposefully lowers their body to cause the ball to hit their neck or head, this will not be counted as a head shot and will be an out. Total discretion is to the referee.

Technical Fouls

Technical Fouls are issued for unsportsmanlike conduct before, during, and after the match. The referee has total discretion of what is considered unsportsmanlike conduct. Receiving a technical foul will result in removal from one game and your team will play one person down for the rest of that game.

Ejections

Ejection of player(s) results in teams playing down a player(s) during the rest of the match. Total discretion of ejection is up to the referee and a player(s) can be ejected without getting a technical foul first. The ejected player must leave the premise (including facility and parking lot of the facility) before play will resume. Fighting or responding to a fight in a violent manner will almost always result in ejection from league, no refund, and could result in the indefinite suspension of all or any Joimo activity or program indefinitely. Rules are subject to review and change by Joimo directors following incidences.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct

The following are but not limited too be considered unsportsmanlike: yelling at the referee, kicking a dodgeball on purpose, wasting time, yelling at the opposing team, and fighting. If an unsportsmanlike act occurs after the match or reported a later time Joimo reserves the right to eject that player(s) from the next match. Referee has total discretion of unsportsmanlike conduct.

General Rules

The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "out". Getting a player out is done by either hitting an opposing player with a ball or catching a ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the floor.

When a catch is made prior to the dodgeball touching the ground, the first player that was out in that game from the team making the catch will be allowed to re-enter the game. Once a player is out they must line up on their sideline in the order that they were out. Players and visitors may not be around this line while the game is going on.

Each player has 5 seconds to throw the ball once it is in their possession (possession is determined by the referee). Any dead balls the team has 10 seconds to pick it up and another 5 seconds to throw it. The player who picks up the dodgeball must be the one to throw it; you can not exchange the dodgeball to another player. Failure to throw a ball within 5 seconds or pick up a dead ball within 10 seconds will result in forfeiting the dodgeball to the opposing team. A player is not permitted to dribble the ball or place it back on the ground once it has been picked up. If a player does so, the ball must be given to the opposing team.

A player cannot stand on his/her knees during any point of the match.

A player may use the dodgeball to block an opposing team's thrown dodgeball but this does not reset the players 5 second count. A player is out if any attempted catch is dropped.

If the ball hits and ricochets off you and you catch a dodgeball before the ricochet ball hits the ground than you are out but your next player in line comes into the game. As always any player throwing the ball and being caught by the opposing team will be considered out.

Each player can only be in possession of one dodgeball at a time. However, if a player catches a ball while already in possession of a dodgeball, the catch will be considered a catch (and the first person out may return to the game) but the player must drop one of the balls.

Dead Dodgeballs

A dodgeball is considered dead when it touches an object other than a person in play. A ball deflected by a held ball is considered a dead ball. If it is deflected then hits another player there is no consequence. If it is deflected and then caught by the same person on the team, it is considered a catch and the person who threw the ball is out and a player on the same team as the person who caught the ball is allowed back into the game.

Playoffs

Every team will make the playoffs and this will take place on the 8th week of the league. If there is an odd amount of teams in the league the two last place teams will play a single elimination game (10 minute limit) before advancing. If still tied at the end of this game a coin toss will decide the winner (called by the higher placed team). First place teams will always get a "bye" when needed. The rankings will be determined by the following point system:

Win = 3 points
Tie = 1 point
Loss = 0 points

Teams that have the same Average Points Per Game are further ranked by the following tiebreaker system:
