The fall season of Wii Bowling is set to return. Registration begins Aug. 9 and runs through Aug. 18 at the Eagle’s Nest Activities Office. The fall season runs on Mondays from Sept. 11 through Nov. 13 in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom. The season is comprised of two sessions: The Twi-Lite session plays from 4:30 to 6 p.m., and the Evening session plays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. League play is capped at 336 players (28 teams/168 people in each session). If registration exceeds that, a lottery will be held on Aug. 25 to determine league membership.
The cost is $35 per person, with an additional $1 per player collected each week. Registration fee covers the cost of the end of season banquet. Interested Wii’ers can either sign up as a full team of six people, or as individuals or any combo up to six. Incomplete teams will attempt to be made full as registration forms are received. Registrants need to adhere to the following:
1. This season, registration must be paid via HOA member charge only (to accommodate ease of refunds if lottery is necessitated).
2. If signing up a full team (six people, $210), one person must pay for the entire team. At registration, provide the names and email addresses for all players on the roster.
3. You must specify your league preference (Twi-light or Evening League) and whether you’d be willing to switch leagues if necessary.
4. Once a team is registered there can be no substitutions of team members. If a player must drop out, the League Commissioner will fill vacancies from a wait list.
Persons who will be out of town during the registration period will need to make arrangements for a local neighbor or friend to register for them. No advance or email registrations will be accepted.
Just what is Wii Bowling? It’s an interactive, fun game involving moderate activity, and a remote control device. The wireless control looks much like your TV remote, and while you swing your arm, the device mimics the actions of rolling the ball down the alley. The result is projected on a TV screen …the pins go flying, you rack up the score … and it’s just that easy! No actual balls scurrying down the lanes, and no oil from the alleys to get your hands dirty. Best part yet? No previous experience at playing Nintendo games is required, because this game is easy to learn. If you can turn the channels via your TV remote control, then you can Wii Bowl.
Grab your friends and neighbors, proceed to the Activities Center on Eagle’s Nest, and sign up for the Wii Bowling League. Let the games begin!
