SOWV offers the traditional format of league-style bowling for singles competition and singles ramp (assisted & unassisted).
In doubles and Unified Doubles competition (traditional and Unified Sports), SOWV uses the Baker System format, which places emphasis on the team effort rather than individual accomplishments of team members. Doubles members take turns bowling frames within one game, as opposed to members bowling individual games and combining the scores for one team score.
