What is Fowling?

The Original Football Bowling Pin Game

It started as a one-lane mashup of football and bowling while tailgating at the 2001 Indy 500. Today, Fowling is quickly turning into a national sensation. Give it a try and you’ll see.

How Do You Play?

It’s as easy as throwing a football at ten bowling pins until someone knocks them all down. BONK™. Drink. Repeat. Check out the short, simple rules to find out about Fair Ups, Overtime, Sudden Death and more.

AUGUST TUESDAY NIGHT OPEN LEAGUE:

Instead of signing up for the entire 4 week league, we are going to have an “Open League” in August.  You can walk in any week and join into the competition with HOWEVER many teams show up.  So if you can’t make it one of the Tuesdays, no problem. You can still be in the league! You don’t have to pay up front, just pay for an open play wristband and be ready to go by 7PM.

We’ll keep on-going stats all month long and if you win the most matches you win the league.  The more weeks you play, the more opportunity to win games.  No prize money, just trophies, comraderie and competitive Fowling each week.

Below is the link to the sign up page. We will also send out an e-mail reminder each week and you can respond to let us know if you are coming … even if you don’t sign up. Glad to have ya!!

We will admit as many teams as would like to join so tell your friends. The format is five 20-minute matches each night. Win as many games as you can in the 20-minute period to win the match. If you go up by 4 games, mercy rule applies. If you don’t have a partner, sign up anyway and we might find another solo to match up with you.

There is no cutoff for signup. If you don’t sign up just show up by 7PM on any Tuesday Night in August and you will be inserted into the schedule.

 

AUGUST OPEN LEAGUE SIGNUP

 

BONKS!

(knock the center pin off the board on the first shot leaving 9 pins standing)

Here at the Fowling Warehouse Ypsi Ann Arbor, we take Bonks seriously!! Strikes too!

Anytime someone records a BONK we stop everything for a ceremony.

  1. You are awarded the pin you Bonked as a souvenir
  2. You receive an “I Bonked” Sticker or Magnet.  They cannot be purchased.  They must be earned.
  3. You log your name in the Permanent Record of Bonkers
  4. You write your name on the Bonk Board
  5. You pull the lever for the Bonk Honk, our 140-decibel Freighter Horn.  Think goal horn at Joe Louis Arena, but in the Fowling Warehouse Ypsi Ann Arbor.

BONK HALL OF FAME

This page has a list of every BONK and a photo of each Bonk Board on the last day of the month, just before we erase it and start over again.  If you have bonked, you can show your friends this page as proof.  If you haven’t bonked, you can peer at this page green with envy.

Eat, Drink & FowlOn!

Fowlers Need Food

Great food is fuel for great Fowling. So BYOF. Bring your own pizza, sandwiches, tacos, smokin’ hot chili or mom’s deep-dish apple pie. You want it delivered? That’s cool with us.
