Someone on my team attempted to prebowl this morning.  There was a youth camp there and the person behind the desk put him right next to the camp.  Throughout the game he asked to move, but supposively the house was keeping half the lanes unused for a later league, so he was stuck.  Long story short, he ended up getting    frustrated with a million little kids running in front of him and ended up bowling a 160 with a 220 avg.  He didnt finish bowling because he was aggrevated at the group next to him and the lady behind the desk, handed in his sheet and left.  

I know it might come down to our league rules, but can you prebowl for 1 game?  We have a sub, can he just rebowl that game along with the next 2 games?   Can a sub even bowl the remaining two?

Lol, i totally agree that he should just suck it up.  Too late now though  I was hoping to find a crack in the rulebook

Anyway, this is the first year in a while that they are allowing this summer league to prebowl individually.  At the beginning of the year, that was not so.  I guess too many teams couldnt prebowl as a full team with vacation and summer schedules.

Thanks for the info

As long as your league has a rule allowing individual pre bowling then he's fine. But when he started bowling, then those scores count.  If he quit for no emergency or injury then he's supposed to get zero for those two games.  That's what's supposed to happen.  What will probably happen is that he'll take his average for those last two games.  But he should NOT be allowed to bowl the last two games during league play.

We ended up taking 7.  Team of 3 threw a 66 scratch even with his 160

Rule 108b. Without Cause
 
When a player does not complete a game for reasons other than disability, injury, or emergency, the player’s team shall count zero for each remaining frame in the game. (See Rule 118a for average information.)
 
If there is any doubt of a player’s reason for not being able to continue a game, the league’s board of directors shall decide. A player who leaves a game without cause cannot return to bowl in the same game.
 
 
Commonly Asked Questions – Rule 108b
 
108b/1   After missing a spare in the fifth frame of the second game, the player gets upset and stops bowling. How do you score the bowlers second and third game?
The team is credited with the actual score for the first five frames bowled and zero for each remaining frames in the second game. For the third game, the team uses the player’s absentee score. In calculating the bowler’s average, only the first game is included in the bowler’s average record.


Sounds like his 160 will count and if I’m reading it correctly his other two will be his absentee average. Either way, what a baby.

hey yall
         you need to look into this.. I thouhght when prebowling for a league, you needed an officer of the league present 1st of all.. also when making games up you are not suppose to bowl next to open bowling bowlers(should be a pair away..) our league rules state that the house is responsible for oiling the lanes, like if we were really bowling in our league.. lot of guys go to the ABC's in my league..
