quote:108a. With CauseWhen a player is unable to complete a game because of disability, injury or emergency, and another eligible player is not available, the team shall count the actual score for the frames bowled plus one-tenth of the league’s absentee score for each frame missed. (See Rule 118a for average information.)NOTE: For computing score: Take actual score for frames bowled; credit 10 pins for a strike or spare in last frame bowled. Add 1/10 of league’s absentee score for each of the remaining frames. For example, if absentee score is bowler’s average less 10: Absentee score, 145; 1/10 of 145 = 14.5 X 3 frames = 43.5. Drop fraction and add 43 to actual score for 7 frames bowled. The fraction is dropped after the total amount is figured, and not from each frame.
quote:108b. Without CauseWhen a player does not complete a game for reasons other than disability, injury or emergency, the player’s team shall count zero for each remaining frame in the game. (See Rule 118a for average information.)If there is any doubt of a player’s reason for not being able to continue a game, the league’s board of directors shall decide. A player who leaves a game without cause cannot return to bowl in the same game.
