Return of Monday Night League

Bel Mateo Bowl

After more than a 3-month absence, my Monday night league resumes tomorrow.

Excited to return, but must remind myself not to expect too much. I haven't touched a bowling ball since the pandemic.

The biggest adjustment will be wearing a mask while bowling. Here are the house guidelines:

We are adhering to state and county (California,  San Mateo County) guidelines and would like to explain what our protocols will be for re-starting your league.  

• Everyone will be screened via an infra-red thermal camera at the door before entering the building. Anyone reading over 100.4 will not be allowed into the building.  
• Hands will be sanitized. Masks must be worn at all times except when eating or drinking.  
• Plexiglass has been placed at all points of contact with the staff including the front desk, bar and bistro. Each pair of lanes have been sectioned off with plexiglass shields. 
• Social distancing should be followed throughout the building.  Hand sanitizer is available throughout the building including behind each pair of lanes.  
• When bowling, you must still wear a mask. We recommend the following placement of team members to be able to follow the social distancing guidelines.  
• While one person is on the lane, the other three team members should spread themselves out with one person on the purple seats, one person by the back of the settee area or wooden benches and one person up on the concourse. 
• The other team should do the same with two people up on the concourse. All rest rooms have an option to use a "Foot" door opener.  
• The entire bowling area will be sanitized prior to your arrival and after your departure.  

Wish me luck tomorrow.
