Brunswick Frameworks does keep track of how many frames are thrown on each lane including during practice in leagues.  Also you can set it up to keep track of balls that are thrown while the scoring monitors are turned off.  Also can be set up to help disburse open play throughout the lanes to keep games played equally across the board.  As far as I can remember (it’s been a couple years) the most we had off from highest to lowest games at one time was like 20 -30 over a period of 2 years.  And it slowly but surely equaled out.  It wouldn't be hard to implement the same technology with AMF and the others like Quibica.  
Good suggestion, but it would still be difficult for the small houses to upgrade to newer technology. Also many houses like the idea of "opening up" the shot to bring in new bowlers.  HMMM stay at this house and average 185, or move across town and average 230 with honor score out the butt?  It’s usually just two tempting for house hacks.
Just MHO but I think the only realistic way to control scoring across the board is to raise the minimum units of oil per lane.  (OK LET THE RANTING BEGIN!) I really miss the days of long oil )  They need to stop going after ball manufactures and drillers, because no matter what they change with the balls, someone will find a way around it with time and the scores will go up.  Raise the units of oil, im willing to bet the honor scores are cut by 50% or better.  Im really sick of seeing 160 bowlers shooting 300 and thinking they are good.  My comment is usually good game, and walk away.  If they still try think they are great, I usually compare their game with their series.  This year alone, ive seen 7 300 shot without breaking 620 series 5 didn't break 5.  Its really sad that you shoot more then 50% of your pins in one game.  If you shoot 300, 680 or 660 is a gimme. Hmmm 300 one game, and can't average out to 200 overall?  Man you stink!
USBC needs to stop trying to control the bowlers with ridiculous rules of overstock control and CG control, and look to the real problem.  The houses are setting up bank shots and literally taking it to the bank. Houses need to be punished if they are giving up too many honor scores or not keeping the lanes oiled to stay sanctioned.  What ever happened to the days when every ball and lane that had honor scores got checked afterwards?  Now your lucky to ever see a ball get checked Heck 3 weeks ago, I shot 299 with a Power Blitz in league, and I told the house afterwards not to count the score because I asked checked it after league, and according to their scale it was about 1/32 of an ounce over.  No biggie to me, my scale at home says im a full 1/16 under.  But if I hadn't said something, they would have honored my score.  Not too mention the shot was a bank shot from heck. I can count on one hand how many times I actually hit the same mark that game.  Nothing like a 15 board cushion right?  Well I think im done ranting now; USBC really needs to look who they are punishing here, the bowlers or the centers.  When was the last time you had an honor score taken away cause your center got checked after your 300 and wasn't with in regs?  Did the house get punished or did you?
Later,
