Also in conjunction with Rule 4c, In accordance with Rule 118c, right-handed bowlers must always bowl right-handed and left-handed bowlers must always bowl left-handed when establishing an average. If an individual uses his/her opposite hand in making a delivery during a game without permission from the league board of directors, a league officer or the league board would then have the following options within the timelines as stated in rule 119.
DECLARE THE INDIVIDUAL'S GAME FORFEITED: The bowlere would receive zero for the frame. (Note: Scores bowled by the other team members not in violation stand as bowled).
DECLARE THE TEAM GAME FORFEITED: The team would receive zero for the game. (Note: The individual in violation would receive zero. However, scores bowled by the other team members count towards their individual averages and league awards unless the league rules state otherwise).
