Oh my stars, we are so very excited to announce that the Wellingtonista Bowling League for 2008 is about to start. Next Thursday September 25 to be exact, at 6.30pm at The Lanes on Wakefield Street. What does this mean for you/your organisation/social circle? It means that you have to find three friends to form a team (or more, members can rotate in and out at will), come up with a name and register here before next Tuesday 23 September so we can come up with a table and you can start insulting your competition.. The league will last for as many weeks as there are teams (with a maximum of eight teams due to the space I've booked), minus one, as we'll play round robin. The rules on the night are as follows:

• If at the end of the game your team's sum total (total of all four players) is higher than your opposition's then you get four competition points.
• If your team consumes more than four beverages (or averages more than one per player) you get a bonus competition point
• The team with the highest sum total on the night gets an extra bonus point.
• There will be one random league point awarded on the night in an area of our choosing. The first one will be for the best-dressed team.
• Trash-talking AND fraternising with the enemy are both highly encouraged.

So if you booze up and roll like a god your team could come away with seven points. We really did have a tremendous amount of fun last year, made new friends, business contacts and drinking buddies, so what are you waiting for? Sign up already!
