Rule question
« on: February 06, 2009, 10:29:24 AM »
Im a youth bowler and I was wondering if there is a rule saying your not allowed to smoke during league. All the centers are smoke free so I try to run out between games but i was told last week that im not allowed. Im 18 and I was wondering if there was a rule saying im not allowed to smoke.

I'm not sure, but when I was a youth, I got in trouble when I was 16 for going outside for a smoke.

The rule is delaying the game, I personally do not like the people that run away between games on me either.

Just drink a beer and chill out until you are done or stop bowling,not directed at you if you get the idea how us anal people think.

I always make sure im back and ready to bowl when its my turn. I run out and smoke maybe half and put it out and im usually back in before our first bowler even starts his next game so im not holding anyone up. The league secretary seems to have it out for our team because shes always trying to catch us doing something wrong and turns a blind eye to what anyone else does. Its pretty frustrating being singled out the way we are.

Unless it's written in your league rules I can't see it being a problem.  Your old enough and not holding anyone up.

He's 18.  It's illegal for him to drink beer.

As kidjete said, unless it is written into the league rules or he is not ready to bowl when his turn comes up, his going for a smoke between games should not be a problem.
