The league, presented by Clover Lanes and LeChase Construction, competes on 4 different oil patterns, one for each 8-week session. The lane condition used is a 3:1 maximum ratio, which simply means that there is just under three times the amount of oil in the center of the lane, as compared to the outside. Typical house conditions vary between 10:1 and 25:1. The current pattern is 38-feet with a medium volume.
