Last night in league was position night (we do thirds). We're in first by 3 1/2 games. Here comes a guy who puts down his balls and says he is subbing for the other team. He arguably is one of the best bowlers in the state and his average last year ranged from 228-243. Anyway, I asked him if he had bowled yet this year in our league, he had not. Our league rule says you have to bowl at least two weeks in the league before you can bowl a position night I asked the league secretary, who, citing the rule said 'technically he can't bowl...but I'll leave it up to you guys to decide if you want to allow him to bowl' At that point, our team captain said no. Showing his maturity, the individual proceeded to bad mouth us to anyone who would hear his story (from what I was told, several expletives were used) Other teams in the league backed up our decision to not allow the sub. The other team ended up bowling 1 short.
Here's my question...Do you think the league secretary was wrong in not making the call based on the known rule versus putting it back on our team to play the heavy? To me it showed a lack of backbone on his part.
I'm interested in your opinions.
