Title: Ruling question.
Post by: mrteach3 on February 26, 2016, 05:27:55 PM

Bowler bowls before the rack comes up and hits the rack.  What's the ruling?   Respot the pin or missed sapre?

Rule 8 – Dead Ball
When a dead ball is called, the delivery does not count and the correct pins must be respotted. The player is allowed to rebowl that delivery.

A ball shall be declared dead if any of the following occur:

g. A delivered ball comes in contact with a foreign obstacle.


According to Rule 8, Item g, a dead ball is declared when a player’s ball comes in contact with any foreign obstacle. The sweep bar is considered a foreign obstacle, so the player has the pin(s) respotted and rebowled.

That was my thought as to the rule.  Had to get some agreement.
