Janice Bowling is a public official and community activist in Tullahoma, Tennessee . Born on April 1, 1947 in Selma, Alabama , she was a teacher in the public school system before marrying her husband, who was then in the U.S. Air Force. After being stationed at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the family moved to Tullahoma, Tennessee. Janice Bowling was a homemaker at first, and became interested in public and community issues, volunteering in many organizations. In 1992, this led to her being elected to the Tullahoma City Board of Aldermen. Issues of economic development and safety were her initial focus, but she developed a broader range. In 1994, conservative Republican Van Hilleary , whom Bowling strongly supported, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives , and in 1995, he appointed Bowling to be his District Director. In that capacity, she dealt with a great deal of constituent and community concerns. Bowling remained in that position until 2000. In 2002, when Rep. Hilleary announced he would run for Governor, Bowling ran to replace her former boss as Representative of the 4th Congressional District in Tennessee. Bowling entered a six way primary race, eventually winning with 37 of the vote. In the general election, she faced State Senator Lincoln Davis. Despite being a conservative and Republican leaning district, Bowling lost to the Democrat Lincoln Davis by over 10,000 votes. Bowling tried again in 2004, but again was unable to defeat Davis, losing by 55 to 43 margin. Bowling continued her municipal service, and in 2007, became Mayor Pro Tem of Tullahoma.

A bowling league is a group event where several teams bowl against each other. Most bowling leagues consist of four team players that meet up once a week and usually at the same time and day. Teams of three or five players are also common. Leagues can be set up as male only, female only, or mixed. Leagues were established soon after the most modern type of bowling was created. Ten pin bowling is a modern form of bowling that was formed in 1895 in New York City. Each week the teams take turns facing one other team. In most bowling leagues each team plays three games per visit. In the first week of the league, the average and handicap of each player is set. Handicap is the difference of the sum of averages between the two teams that are facing each other. Besides the fun of having a team and rolling a ball down the alley to hit a few pins, there are sometimes fun cash prizes and pools that go along with the game of bowling. The point of this is to have something to work for. Some leagues will have strike pools or spare pools. This is when team members put in money to play the game. The first person to get a certain amount of strikes or spares wins the total amount of money that everyone put in. If no one wins it one week or two, then the money keeps adding up until someone finally wins it. Bowling Leagues normally attract an older crowd whether it is duck pin bowling or even just regular bowling itself. However, more recently, there have been more youth bowling leagues. This gives kids the time to learn the strategy in bowling. They start off with bumpers and work their way up until they are no longer needed.
