Had a bye this week, so my focus waned, but I did take in three nights of BoPo action so got a pretty good sense of what was going on out there. Thursday definitely had its best energy of the season thus far, and things seem to be settling in to regular BoPo form. WeContinue reading “This Week in BoPo: Week 3”

This week felt a little more like the real season started. We had full lanes both nights, every team in the league other than XXX Club now has at least one game, and the random trash talk started. Master Splinter launched this year’s war of words with a Facebook drive-by trolling of the Oddballs specifically,Continue reading “This Week In BoPo: Week 2”

BoPo XV is officially underway. In these COVID days just that is quite the accomplishment. There were no celebrity bowlers and no elaborate banner raising.

Any slowness from COVID and dry January will be long forgotten when weContinue reading “This Week In Bopo: Week 1”

Hey BoPo, masks are required again at least until Feb 4th. As we proved last year, that doesn’t get in the way of a good BoPo party. See you on the lanes.

Hey BoPo, unbelievably excited to start a new season with you. Once again we start the year in a COVID surge. Please stay home if you are feeling sick, and games are easy to reschedule if your team needs to. I’m sure we’ll have lots of updates so stay tuned.

The Pinups have dropped out, so Thursday schedule has been completely redone. New schedule is posted, lane assignments will go up soon. All teams have one bye. B teams will play one opponent twice.

Alright, for Tuesdays practice will open at 6:15, matches start by 6:30. On Thursdays, practice will start at 5:15, matches start by 5:30. For early matches, teams need to immediately start their next game after getting scores recorded. No team breaks between games. Casco Bay League has proven that 2 hour matches are very doableContinue reading “Game Times”
