The topic about calling a foul on yourself reminded me of this.  Is this a foul?  You throw the ball, watch it hit then turn around to walk back to the pit.  In the process of turning your non-sliding heel triggers the foul light.  Did you foul?  Happened to me once and everyone said I fouled, so we went on from there.  But I've never been convinced that you can foul after you've put 10 in the pit.

Rule 5a. A foul occurs when a part of the player’s body encroaches on or goes beyond the foul line and touches any part of the lane, equipment or building during or after a delivery. A ball is in play after a delivery until the same or another player is on the approach in position to make a
succeeding delivery.
The certification and inspection committee of a local association can require that the foul linebe plainly marked on the walls, posts, division boards or any other structure in a bowling center on a line with the regular foul line.
When a foul is recorded the delivery counts but the player is not credited with any pins knocked down by that delivery. (See Rule 6b.)


Rags – By the rule the ball is in play until the next bowler is on the approach so technically you have fouled even though the ball may be coming back.

'Bones, yes, I have seen that.  Everyone knows that cheating took place when you see it, but you can't really prove anything.  

Pinbuster, thanks.  I guess I fouled.  Normally I back away a step or two before turning, however sometimes I turn immediately.  I guess that when I do that I'm in danger of fouling with my right heel.
