A position round in bowling is a week or session bowled where the 1st place team opposes the 2nd place team, 3rd place vs 4th place, etc. Normally a position round is placed at the end of each quarter or half.
A round of bowling is called a frame.
There are no standards. However they are typically bowled at the end of each quarter or half.
There is no solid definition for a round of bowling. There is a game of bowling. Three games is referred to as a series. In league bowling, usually that nights "round" of bowling consists of three games per bowler or one series.
League schedules can be found on the United States Bowling Congress' website at www.bowl.com. They have schedules for 4 to 48 teams. Also, there is league software available on the market, such as CDE Software's Bowling League Secretary, that have the schedules built in. In your situation, you would use an 18 team schedule. Then set a position round at week 8, 16, 24 and 32. When you insert a position round, the schedule gets pushed down.
The tenth frame (last round of bowling) is treated as the final.
Bowling is a year round event. There is usually a winter league and a summer league. There is also open (open to the public) all year round.
A position round in bowling helps give an opportunity for lower placed teams to catch up to higher placed teams. As an example with a league that gives 4 points a week: 1st place - 48 points 2nd place - 47 points 3rd place - 46 points 4th place - 45 points. Potentially, if 1st place won 1 point out of 3 during position round, it would allow 2nd place to take over 1st. If 3rd place won all 4 from the 4th place team, they could also overtake the first place team and be 2nd after position round.
