" hand, don''t step on the lanes without some "
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

There is no USBC rule that says you can't have a single sex league.

I wish my high school had a bowling program back then but as for now the only thing i can think of.  the award changes is really hosed. Only 1 award per score even if it falls into 2,3 diff award categorys granted some of the more accomplished bowlers say "i've got more patches than i need" but some league bowlers (those that don't do tournament -the for fun types) are the ones that lose out. Its those that have the game of their lives and dont get all the awards the apply to that score.
