  • It’s recommended to have a minimum of 5 registered bowlers on your team.
  • Each team has a ‘coach’ who is responsible for organization and keeping an open line of communication with the league. The coach is also responsible for posting weekly scores on our NSL/NCL website.

Stay Connected and Compete

At NSL, our motto is simple: LIVE ACTIVE. LIVE YOUNG. LIVE LIFE!

Wii have fun. Wii stay happy and healthy. Wii look forward to the competition each week. Wii find competitiveness we never knew Wii had. Wii strive to improve. Wii stay in touch with friends and teammates. Wii are true Champions. Wii love the NSL!

Our bowlers celebrate health, happiness, and camaraderie. Whether you’re discovering a competitive spirit or reconnecting with friends, we know you’ll feel like a champion.

 

Bowling Technology Considerations

NSL encourages communities to foster fun and camaraderie using any available bowling software or technology. However, each technology produces scores using different devices and physics, resulting in outcomes that cannot be compared fairly. Mixing score sources would be similar to combining results from bowling alleys and arcade pinball machines.

Coaches are therefore asked to clearly identify any teams in their community that are not using Wii consoles for this tournament, in case this information becomes relevant to competitive fairness.
