Fall season was awesome with 13 teams and lots of fun. Bypass Bowlers (Derrick, Austin, Alex, and Derrick) won the first half and the season after a close roll-off. Ballbarians (Billy, Terry, Jonathan and Keith) won 2nd half and 2nd place.

Like Betty (Jackie, Chris, Dave, John) won 1st place, with B Creative (Billy, Jonathan, Skip, Terry) in second.

Spring season started January 13 and ended April 28

2021/12/16 – Congratulations to 2nd-half winners Spare Bears (Steven, Liz, JuJu, Riley, Tiffany)
2021/10/21 – Congratulations to first-half winners Pig Pins (Mike, Mike, Louis, Paul)!

Fall season started September 9 and bowls each night with warmup starting at 7:20 and bowling at 7:30. The Fall season will run 15 weeks (minus Thanksgiving and December 23), ending January 6.

Rules are always voted on at the meeting. Final Rules are Here. Nightly fees are $20.

Currently, everyone must wear a mask while indoors within the city of Raleigh except while actively eating or drinking. This includes wearing masks while bowling.

Feel free to email kingsqueensbowling@gmail.com with any questions, or check us out on Facebook.

After ending our Spring season early, we’re not sure when we will start back up again.

Bowling centers will not be open until NC is in Phase 3, so Phase 3 is a minimum. To be safe with a 15-week season commitment we should probably wait until there has been sustained Phase 3 or higher, for multiple months.

Check our facebook page for further updates.

Fall season is underway! We have 8 teams but one team still needs two additional bowlers.

We bowl Thursdays at Pleasant Valley AMF with warm-up starting at 7:30pm.
