Week 3 - NSL News
August 21, 2011
As we enter week 4 of the 7 week conference chase, powerhouse NSL teams are being challenged by new teams in the league as well as veteran teams making vast improvements. Newcomers, the Sunshine Strikers 1 and 2 and the Dawsonville Rollers are raising eyebrows as they continue to post competitive scores. Veteran teams the Perfect Pin Busters and the Wii Warriors and Wii Rangers are pushing for championship status.
Individually, the NSL 300 Club continues to gain new membership with Jack Lucas (Stryke Force) and Tommy Buttrum (Happy Strikers) joining 14 fall members totaling 31 games of perfect Wii bowling. NSL Shoutouts to Carolyn Hayes (Dawsonville Rollers) and Vestal Thomas (Golden Spurs) for rolling 600 series. Carolyn in Week 2 and Vestal in Week 3.
We’ve have had a few concerns about the different levels of play in the league. First and foremost, remember that the NSL is for fun, is social, builds friendships within communities and builds team spirit among teammates and within the community. As for the different levels of ability - the top Wii bowlers (1) are serious about their scores; (2) remain competitive; (3) practice more than they play: and (4) have been Wii bowling for a long time. The NSL takes the different levels into consideration when at the end of 7 weeks of league play, the 3 week playoff series is divided into the Championship Division, the Elite Division and the Master Division - all by level of play. Everyone has a chance in the final weeks to win. Most of all remember to have fun!
The new NSL website is up and running. A few tweaks remain. Please visit the blog found on the front page each week. Also, write about your team and add team photo’s when you post scores as both appear on the front page of the statistical records. Help get the word out about your team and their successes. Tell your friends and friends and family of team members to view the site for updates.

NSL Games 2.0
August 15, 2011
The NSL’s site has undergone a major update, making our league more functional (and more fun) than ever.
Click on a team or bowler, and you can see up-to-date statistics, like average, number of strikes, and handicap. Visit the new leaderboard and you can see where bowlers and teams rank in the league, their conference, or even their state! Check out the 300 Club to see who has bowled a perfect game.
To make your team pages even better, be sure to add pictures, for teams and individual bowlers, and keep the rest of the league updated about how your team is doing by adding highlights often. Highlights are just a short sentence or two about how you are enjoying the league, and what you’ve accomplished.
We hope you love the new features as much as we do, and rest assured there will be even more to come.
Thank you for helping us make the National Senior League a great place for friendly competition. Keep on rolling!
