Post bowl question
« on: January 03, 2013, 06:20:02 PM »
Situation tonight, the team we were bowling against tonight didn't have a legal line up. They asked the manager/treasurer if they could postpone and they were told yes. I thought that this had to be cleared ahead of time unless it was an emergency. Any help on this?

It's probably covered in your league rules.

109b. Lack of Legal Lineup
When one or both teams scheduled against each other fail to present a minimum legal lineup and a postponement was not requested, the game(s) is (are) forfeited unless an emergency existed. The postponement committee or board of directors shall decide whether an emergency existed and, if so, the match shall be rescheduled under the postponement rules. Decisions made by the postponement committee can be appealed to the league board of directors.

Do you know for a fact that it wasn't an emergency situation?

Here is USBC's rules:

Quote
111b/1 What is considered sufficient cause for an emergency postponement?
An emergency is defined as an unforeseen combination of circumstances, making it
impossible for a team to field a legal lineup. The reasons for not being able to bowl would not have to be catastrophic; just beyond the control of the team members. Although each reason by itself might not be considered an emergency, the combination of circumstances happening at the same time is considered an emergency.

For example, if a five-person team knew a player was to be out of town and thought they could field a legal lineup, but prior to bowling, another bowler fell ill and the next had to work late, the team could request an emergency postponement.
