The only secretary to give members a book for the numerous stats I kept. The only secretary who went above and beyond the required work to make the league unique and the league you wanted to bowl, like no other has done. The stats helped six bowlers during the season win a FREE SWEEPER entry.
A FREE entry into the $700 Tournament of Champions was the greatest optional event ever offered in any league. It was one of the two four game events being contested while the sweeper standings were being finalized. I offered bowlers a travel bracket and travel Eliminator for a travel league, smart!
No other league offered more FREE money than the Traveling Masters. A FREE sweeper where bowlers have won over $1000 on prize fund money. My website and articles in the Desert Bowler got a lot of attention from some good bowlers. Bowlers came into each center and saw that the league had its own board with league standings, bowlers of the month, bracket standings and the weekly newsletter.
To keep the league I'm secretary of, the most exciting league by publicizing and promoting bowling, by all avenues possible, for all the MEMBERS as well as all the SPONSORS of our league.
Who would have thought that a secretary/ treasurer would do extra work? Think about more teams means more pay and adds to the excitement for the league! As a note, with a bigger prize fund, some might try to change things about the league. You already know this, if it's not broken, why fix it? The Traveling Masters president was trying to change a few things and after not getting help from the other league officers, I resigned, and the league folded after the following season. NOT ALL CHANGE IS GOOD! At least I did the best I could and most bowlers showed they appreiated all the work to help make the league great!
Stats and promotions made the Vantage Lite Traveling Masters league, the greatest league ever. Doubling in size due partly to organizing Tucson's best sweeper (see picture on left) and promoting by every avenue possible. Alan wrote the weekly newsletters for the highlights of the competitive scratch league and a motivational segment. He promoted the league writing articles in the Desert Bowler, Arizona's monthly bowling newspaper. Was honored by Tucson Tribute and Honor in March 2011. The Traveling Masters league officers his last two seasons didn't work together to keep the league fun and competitive. Alan tried to rescue a handicap league after changing centers and lost several teams. History, promotion and stats are on display in this website so others can make their league more exciting and elect officers who'll hopefully put the league's interest over their own interest. Good Luck!
Use the stats to improve your game. The stats could be used to go after a goal and they will show what you need to work on.
Why Promote? It's letting your members know you care.
Promotions to help your league may just save your league!
What works one day may not work the next. Tell them you're willing to do extra work.
I have enjoyed bowling and giving back to the bowlers as Mr. Stats. My promoting by all avenues possible made my leagues known to others who liked the publicity my leagues had. My promotions helped grow a scratch league to double in size. What I did as secretary is make the league unique and helped to retain current members. Bowlers spoke up by making the sweeper the reason why you joined the greatest league ever. Thanks to all who helped make the Traveling Masters league possible and continued to keep it going until the fun went out of the league.
