Phoenix Bowling
Bowling isn’t just about the number of pins you knock down.
It’s about how many pins you knockdown when throwing a 12 pound ball backwards from the next lane over.
(And your awesome “I just got a strike” dance move).
Ready to become king pin?
Whether you’re a free agent looking for a team or a captain already in charge, come play with us.

Skill Levels, Team Sizes & Roster Management
Skill Levels
We are first and foremost a SOCIAL company. Our bowling leagues are as SOCIAL as it gets! Yea there are some folks who are competitive no matter the game but the overall feel of the league is play hard, party harder!
Team Sizes
Bowling teams average 8-9 players. There is no gender requirement.
Roster Management
We allow individuals, small groups and teams to all join our leagues. PHX Fray reserves the right to add additional players to ANY team that is under the official roster size for the league. During registration captains can pick up free agents or mark their group as ready to merge via commish. After registration closes PHX Fray goes through and finalizes rosters by placing free agents, merging groups and deleting unpaid players. Being a promoted team does not mean you may not receive additional players.
Our roster sizes tend to allow for more players as our goal is to avoid forfeits at all costs. 1. They are LAME. and 2. It’s not fair to the other teams in the league who expect to play each week if a smaller team cannot field a team week to week. Free agent teams (merged small groups or all FAs made into teams) tend to have larger rosters as the players typically do not know one another and everyone’s schedule varies week to week.
Bowling Rules
Bowling Rules
// PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
1. All Players must be at least 21 years of age and have current, adequate health insurance.
2. All players must be properly registered on a team during the season for which they are playing.
*If a player is registered on more than one team within the league, they may only play for one team in the playoffs.
*All players must agree to the Fray Liability Waiver as described in the Fray Terms and Conditions section of Player Registration.
3. Any use of an ineligible player will result in a forfeit.
// GOLDEN RULE
First and foremost, all Fray leagues are 50% Social and 50% Sport. While we have staff // officials, we expect individuals to respect the league’s culture of fair and fun play. Foul language and rough play will not be tolerated. Individuals who cannot adhere to our standards of fair play and sportsmanship may be asked to leave the league. We want everyone to have fun and be social while enjoying a great sport. We will do whatever we can to make sure all players are having fun!
// GENERAL POLICIES
Fray is proud to relieve captains of the burden of paying for full teams. We accept individual player payments and allow prepayment for additional players and/or full teams. We are also proud to welcome those who do not have a full team (small groups and free agents) to participate in our league.
Because our mission is to make fun possible, these policies make it easier for people to get involved with and build community through social sports.
All registrations are on a first come, first serve basis. Any roster that does not reach our official size (based on each sport) is eligible to receive free agents and/or small groups. Rosters made up of primarily free agents and/or a collection of small groups may have more players than the standard roster size. This policy is in place to help ensure free agent teams are able to consistently field a team each week.
// Roster Size Chart
| Sport | Promotion Size | Official Size | Max Roster Size | Female Minimum |
| Bowling | 8 | 10 | 12 | N/A |
// Teams & Substitutions
1. A maximum of 12 players can bowl on a lane at a time. Teams must have the required minimum 4 players to start the game.
*Each player present must participate in at least one game. If a bowler comes late, they may join in for the current game or wait and join in the next one.
2. Bowlers on the roster who are not present for league night must be skipped on the bowling console. Substitutes may not bowl for missing teammates, and a player may not bowl under two names.
*If a “substitute” was bowling for a missing bowler, or a teammate was bowling under multiple names, the team may be required to forfeit that game or take a zero as one of the counted team scores at the league host’s discretion.
3. Substitute players (players not on the roster) may be used at any time in the regular season. Substitutes are not permitted during playoffs.
*All substitutes must be a registered player on another team and/or in another Fray league that is currently in play.
*Teams may use additional substitute players above the player minimum with the opposing team’s consent. Teams who agree to play under these conditions must notify the Host before the start of the game and the outcome of the game will stand as is.
4. Teams have until 10 minutes past the designated start time to field the minimum number of players. The 10 minute grace period is considered part of the overall game time. If a team is unable to reach the minimum number of players, the game will be deemed a forfeit.
5. Teams may play a “legal game” with less than the required minimum number of players with the opposing team’s consent. Teams who agree to play under these conditions will lose the option of receiving a forfeit win and the outcome of the game will stand as is. Team’s must notify the Host before the start of the game.
6. Teams must designate a captain prior to the start of the game. Team captains are responsible for signing and submitting scorecards each night.
// Game Duration
1. All teams will bowl 2 games without a time limit.
*If your bowling is shut off before you finish your current game, existing scores may count as of the final ball rolled. Example: if you bowl your first frame as a strike, you cannot assume you will bowl an additional strike and you will be simply awarded 10 for the actual ball bowled.
*In the event of a significant lane malfunction that costs 5 minutes or more, teams may request additional time at the discretion of the facility.
3. Regular Season Games can end in ties. Playoff games will continue until a winner is decided.
// Scoring & Timing
1. Team Score: The sum of the top 4 scores from ONE game that you choose to submit. You may NOT mix-and-match scores from multiple games.
*Teams may only reset their scores once and it must be during the first 15 minutes of play (unless there has been a scoring malfunction which requires a reset). This is to prevent teams from resetting their scores until they get the best scores possible.
2. Team captains are required to report their scores to the league host THAT NIGHT! Your scorecard must be signed by the opposing captain for verification.
*Scores not reported may be counted as 0.
*If scores are found to be altered, that game will result in a forfeit. If this continues to happen, there may be further action taken including removal from the league without refund.
// Equipment, Uniforms & Facility Use
1. All equipment will be provided on site! Make sure to give yourself enough time to get bowling shoes and your favorite bowling ball before the start of your game.
2. Players should make every effort to wear the official Fray division shirt.
3. If an individual or team violates the facility’s Code of Conduct, they may be asked to leave and a refund will not be issued.
// Playoffs & Standings
1. Playoffs are determined after the regular season has concluded and are based on scheduling and other league logistics. Playoffs are not guaranteed.
2. Teams will be seeded for playoffs based on standings and their game will be against the team seeded closest from 1 vs 2 on down. While only the top 2 seeded teams are competing for the championship, all teams will be scheduled for playoff games.
3. Standings are sorted based on teams’ Win-Loss-Tie record. If there is a tie in the standings, we sort based on the following information in order until the tie is resolved:
*Head-to-head matchups
*Score differential
*Points For
*Points Against
// Forfeits
1. Teams have until 10 minutes past the designated start time to field the minimum number of players. If the are unable to do so, the game will be deemed a forfeit.
*First Forfeit – Loss of game and warning issued
*Second Forfeit – Loss of game and Fray reserves the right to remove team the playoffs.
*Third Forfeit – Loss of game and removal from the league with no refund
2. In the case of a forfeit, the final score is recorded as 400-0.
// Weather Cancellations
1. One week is built into the end of each season
2. All players will be notified via email if games are canceled
3. If more than one weather cancellation occurs, Fray will try to find another week if possible to make up the games, but it is not guaranteed.
4. Should inclement weather or other factors limit normal scheduled game duration and at least one full game has been completed, the game shall count as the full game and scores will be reported as is.
Bowling FAQ's
General
PHX Fray understands that for most people joining a sports team is about hanging out with your friends, having a good time and meeting some new people. We strive to keep the games fair and stress free so you can do just that… socialize and have a good time!
Category: General
You simply show up at the courts/fields/bar for your scheduled games, you and your teammates play your opponents for about 30-60 minutes and then everyone heads on over to the nearby sponsor bar for food, drinks, and partying! It’s a ridiculously easy formula that’s seriously fun!
Times: Depending on the location and day, weekday games are played between 6:00 and 11:30 pm. Weekend games can be anytime during the day or evening. Please check your specific league page for more details.
Category: General
All players must be at least 21. Why? Because playing your game is only part of the fun. A large part of our leagues is what happens at the bars after the games! Most players are between 24 and 36 years old and we’re split about 45% male, 55% female.
Category: General
PHX Fray operates a lot like the sports leagues of your youth. Our goal is to connect people and to play more often! Our leagues vary in length, traditionally they are 5-8 weeks long, which includes a regular season, a chance at a playoff tournament, and much more!
Category: General
Since the beginning, PHX Fray has always been more about meeting people, playing a fun game and socializing afterward at the bar. A few players are naturally more competitive than others but don’t worry, 95% of PHX Fray is NOT competitive.
As we have grown we have begun to offer divisions for different skill levels for select sports BUT every league we offer is inherently SOCIAL, in that we are all out there to have a good time and meet new people!
Category: General
Registration dues vary by location, night and sport. PHX Fray strives to keep dues low while still providing a quality experience for our players. Select the league you are interested in joining and you will see the current pricing for that league. This fee covers insurance, field permits, equipment, player t-shirts, prizes, recruiting, staffing at every league and the other PHX Fray events that we will be hosting throughout the year. You definitely get your money’s worth!
Each league typically gets at least a 5-6 game regular season plus an opportunity to earn a spot in the playoffs. You’ll also have access to all our other league-related events, shindigs, and parties throughout the year. Please note, PHX Fray does not issue refunds.
Category: General
PHX Fray has a no refund policy. Often our rosters have limited space and last-minute cancellations hinder our ability to properly plan and organize the season and our leagues as well as the costs that have already been incurred by the league. This also applies to prepayments and team payments
If you are unable to participate after completing the registration process, contact our Customer Experience team at info@phxfray.com to see what options are available for you.

To register, select your desired day and location (as long as registration is still open and available). Make sure to read through the season info before signing up (dates, location, etc). Click through the links and you will be guided through the process. If you have any questions, email us at info@phxfray.com.

- Absolutely! The majority of PHX Fray players sign up by themselves or in small groups. Once registration for a division is closed, we merge all free agents and small groups into bigger teams, as space is available. From the beginning you’ll get to meet new people from your team, not to mention all the other players from the other teams as the season plays out!
- PHX Fray is the EASIEST way to meet people and make new friends!
Category: General
Your ringleader simply forms a new group during the registration process. Once they’re registered, everyone then registers under that group / team. Easy Peasy! Doesn’t matter how small your group is, we’ll keep your buddies together when we merge and finalize teams after registration is closed. Start telling your buddies to sign up now!
*PHX Fray reserves the right to put independent players on your group / team.*
Category: General
If you would like to prepay for other players or for an entire team you have the option to do so when registering! First and foremost, you need to choose your destiny (Individual, Join an Existing Group, or Start a new Group). No matter which option you select, you will then see the option to Prepay for Others. Simply enter the number of additional people you are paying for, create a prepaid code and your total cost should update next to the box. Provide your created prepaid code to your players to use when they go to register for the season to mark their registration as paid.
Some of our divisions now offer an option to prepay for a full team! When you are creating a team/group you can select “Prepay for a Team” just under the prepay for others option. The total for payment should be reflected on the right-hand side of the screen. Complete the rest of the registration prompts and proceed to the payment screen. When you pay for a full team you are paying for a team spot in the league and a specific number of roster spots. Your teammates still need to register for the season and apply your prepaid code! If you would like additional players you can add additional roster spots at the time of checkout or after the purchase.
If you have a corporate company team or want to bring a very large group of rotating players, please fill out the form here to talk about corporate packages!
Category: General
Yes, we do offer the option to pay as a team. Since our registration is individually based, the team rate is based on our roster table for an official roster size X the registration cost. For steps on how to pay for a team during the registration process please check the “Can I Pay for my Friends” FAQ.
Every player must be a registered member on the roster. We do not allow subs/walk-ups/whomever to play with us without being a registered PHX Fray player. Certain leagues CAN use subs as long as that person is registered in the same season.
*Are you a Corporate or other special group? Please fill out the form here for special group packages.*
Category: General
First… are you sure you don’t know them or that they aren’t a friend of a friend? Once you’ve checked there it likely means free agents or another small group has been merged onto your team. When groups do not reach full team size we merge groups and free agents together to fill out rosters.

Lots of people join PHX Fray for different reasons and sometimes you may find yourself on a team that you just don’t mesh with. No worries, shoot us an email at [email protected] and we will find you a new home!

- We make the final call a few hours before the games the day of, but for the most part, we usually play through a light drizzle. At permitted locations the call to cancel is made by the operating facility. We usually build one or more weeks of make-up days in case of weather. If a league has multiple cancellations, the game MAY NOT be able to be made up.
- Unsure if your game is a go for the night? Be sure to do the following:
- Call the Weather Hotline to check the status of your games: 480-744-9011 option 1
- Keep an eye on your email for a weather postponement email (inbox, junk and spam folders)
