There isn't any collection point of statistics for all leagues to obtain an answer. Based on the level of the sport over this past decade as well as equipment improvements, you would probably see around a 5% of league bowlers averaging 200 or higher.

If you are currently a high school baseball player, the odds of making it to Major League Baseball as a player are less than 1 percent. The odds of making it to a team affiliated with a Major League team are right around 1 percent.
There is a Professional Bowlers Association which conducts tournaments and events for pro bowlers. There are also bowling leagues that allow amateur bowlers compete on lane conditions similar to what the professionals use during pro tournaments. At this time, there is no league specifically and selectively for Pro Bowlers.
There are no bowlers in the American Bowling Congress at this time. In 2005 the American Bowling Congress, Women's International Bowling Congress and the Young American Bowling Association were disbanded to form a single entity called the United States Bowling Congress.
Most league bowlers own their own bowling shoes.
Bowlers in a bowling league pay X dollars each week. The portion of those X dollars that goes to the bowling establishment is referred to as "lineage". The rest of the X dollars variously goes to the league's prize fund, secretary fees, etc.
Typically, the average and handicap are recalculated after every session of a bowling league. For tournament leagues (such as the Amateur Bowlers Tour), averages and handicaps are recalculated after every tournament.
Most league bowlers will use fifteen pound balls, however most pro bowlers use sixteen pound balls as it is the maximum weight allowed by the USBC.At our bowling alley, in the Men's league almost every single male uses a 16 poung bowling ball. Some will carry both a 15 and a 16 in case they get tired.
A 300 game counts anytime you bowl it. However if it is not santioned you dont get all the perks and recognition. I know bowlers that average 150 that have bowled a 300 and bowlers with 200+ average that have not.
Averaging all types of bowlers and leagues, a good guess is 150-160 for men bowlers and 130-140 for women. That would really depend on what you are comparing. For instance, the above answer might be good for your local mixed league or just general open play bowling. However if your were in a more competitive league either mixed, or same sex, the average scores would be much higher. The age/experience of the bowlers in question would also affect the outcome.
A "good" bowler will watch other bowlers practice to prepare for league games. Many people watch bowling. From people who are fans of the sport to those who just enjoy watching the best at their sport compete.
ya... just all be in the same lane, if you rented 2 lanes then have three in 1 lane and two in the 2nd lane!!
There is a "yearbook" put out each year. This will contain the averages of all the sanctioned bowlers in your locale. If you do not have access to one, ask your league secretary or the front desk clerk for one. They should have one.
