I did receive an answer to my email to Roger Dalkin.

Below is my email, and after that his response....

Dear Mr. Dalkin,
I can't believe the ABC approved Jeff Campbell's 900 series. 36 strikes
in a row is a great feat, but bowling 900 while pre-bowling?
I don't know if it was bowled unopposed or not. I just think a
pre-bowled 900 award cheapens the feat.
When is the ABC going to overturn the ruling on Glenn Allison's 900
series?
At least that series was shot under competitive conditions.
I find it distasteful and most serious bowlers feel the same way.

Respectfully,

Dear Mr. *******:

The 900 series by Mr. Campbell was bowled in accordance with current
ABC rules and accepted league rules governing prebowling. The issue of
prebowling and bowling unopposed has been addressed and changed by our
delegates on a few occasions. However, the current rule of record
applies to this series.

Similarly, Glenn Allison's 900 series, while bowled in league session,
was bowled on a condition that was in violation of the existing ABC
rules at that time. I personally know Mr. Allison and while he did not
agree with the decision made back when he bowled his 900, he
acknowledges and accepts the ruling as well as the need for ABC to
administer the rules in a fair and equitable manner.

Please remember rules change, as voted on by the ABC delegates, but our
responsibility as administrators of the rules is to apply the rules of
record, at the time of an event, in a fair and equitable manner. This
was done it the case of both 900s.

If you have any further questions or comments, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Roger Dalkin
ABC Executive Director
