Interested in Participating in a Wii Bowling League in Cincinnati?
**the goal is to have this begin in mid-late January '08

Background: Hi. My name is Ann. My husband and I have lived in Cincinnati going on two years and haven't had the time to make a lot of friends (nor did we know where to find people we were compatible with). Bars are OK, but not typically our scene. A few months back we got a Wii and have found it to be pretty fun. So one night I got to thinking. How about trying to make more friends while playing the Wii? Just to give you an idea -- I am an IT Manager and he is a Chemical Engineer. So, although I may be a little crazy trying to dream this up, we are pretty normal people (but maybe I am biased).

Concept: Have a league comprised of teams of 2. How many teams? Depends on how many people are interested. We would essentially have a schedule where you -- a team of 2 -- would go to another house of a team of 2. The next week, you would play another team of 2...possibly at their place or at your's again (just depends on the schedule). Think of your house as a "lane" and it depends on whether or not you are bowling on your lane that week. You might be bowling on a different lane. Here is an example using 4 teams (though I hope to have more):

Team names are (you will find these quite original) -- Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, and Team 4.

Week 1 -- Team 2 at Team 1's house, Team 4 at Team 3's house
Week 2 -- Team 1 at Team 4's house, Team 3 at Team 2's house
Week 3 -- Team 3 at Team 1's house, Team 2 at Team 4's house
***then we could go through it again but switch houses. The entire schedule or how to work this is up for discussion.

Scoring: This piece is also up for discussion. It could just be a totally social league and your score is your score. Or, we could do a handicapping league. That would be worked out at the "league meeting."

Eligibility and Cost: You or your "teammate" MUST own a Wii. That is the only way this will work. Beyond that, the only cost would be the cost of gas to go to the other team's home when it is not at your house. Additionally, if you are hosting, you may want to provide some munchies or drinks or we could make it a BYO(put a letter here) league. Bring your own munchies, drinks, etc. We do know it will be BYOM (bring your own Mii...by loading it on your remote). Again, all this can be worked out.

**The only exception is if we decide at the first meeting we want to have a league party at the end with trophies. Then, we may need to chip in a few bucks (but nothing like the $10 - $12 a week at a real bowling alley!).

Next Steps: I am just trying to get a feel for how many people are interested in doing something like this. It is obviously just in the concept stage, but I am hoping to make it a reality. I am willing to do the leg work and use this website to layout rules and schedule, etc. So, if you have a Wii and enjoy meeting new people and think it might be fun, please fill out the form below.
