What’s the possibility of one center having 2 teams?

George you have said Ballina is onborad, but Ballina is NSW, you are calling this State league for Queensland.
You might need to rethink this.
At this stage we also introduce a compulsory female bowler into the mix too, not sure how yet but when I have a spare 2 hrs or so I'll draft a proposal and see what everyone says.
State League in NSW is a real success. Unless you're trying to run events other than State League. Tournament bowling is a complete basket case down here because everybody's got State League, Premier League, ID, something or other. These team leagues are great, but they have a shotgun effect on tournament calendars and can play havoc with a healthy tournament scene, such as QLD has and is the envy of other states.
Ask Stephen Cowland what it's like finding 6 Sundays to run a Sport Series. (Poor bugger...)
It's pretty obvious Ballina is in NSW, thats easy fixed..... it wont be called a State League then, it will be a some sort of Intercentre Team Challenge, really it doesnt matter. It's about promoting competitive team bowling, Ballina are only 2 hrs from our boarder thanks to the new highway, they are big promoters of bowling and were the first to come on board.
If youre worried I wont include Maryborough Mark, dont be, if you want to field a team, you can. I'll draw the line at teams that are 3 hrs from Brisbane which means youre in. We have to limit the distance to make it viable for travelling teams.
