situation: league night, team A (3 players) bowls against team dummy.
start of the third frame, the first bowler fouled, he fell and touched the lane with his hands, the score was not erased immediately (changed to 0) and they proceeded to bowl. another team, who bowled beside them, let a league officer know about the foul, by the time the officer got to the lane, team A were on the 5th frame. the officer erased every score (all the bowlers) after the foul.
lets put the side stories aside, my question is, what the officer did was right or wrong? what does the rule say about it?
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment
When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I have never heard of 2 frames of scores being erased over a foul. I would think the officer was wrong. In the case a bowler bowls on the wrong lane and successive bowlers also bowl on the wrong lane, the scores stand. You might want to check with your local association for clarification.

And there was absolutely, definitely no cause to erase other bowlers' scores. The officer either doesn't understand how the computer system works, which, to me, is unacceptable for a league officer, or is a moron, which, to me, is unacceptable for a league officer.
Did you rebowl those frames? Did that change the final scores? Did it change the points won in the end?

the officer didnt only erase the frames, but also did not provide a clear explanation of his action, causing that team to quit the league.
i'll send an email to the CTF, and have them deal with that issue, cuz the team that quit are friends of mine

Call USBC rules department to get clarification and what the remedy would be since the league games had been completed.
