I don’t understand how rule 8e isn’t a loophole when you have 11 in a row… just say you want to put a person at the foul line to make sure you don’t foul and accidently hit them while you are bowling… if you don’t strike just do it over..
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:
a. After a delivery, attention is immediately called to the fact that one or more pins were missing from
the setup.
b. A human pinsetter interferes with any standing pin before the ball reaches the pins.
c. A human pinsetter removes or interferes with any downed pin before it stops rolling.
d. A player bowls on the wrong lane or out of turn, or one player from each team on the pair of lanes
bowls on the wrong lane.
e. A player has physical contact with another person or moving object as the ball is being delivered and
before delivery is completed. In such case, the player has the option to accept the resulting pinfall or
have a dead ball called.
f. Any pin is moved or knocked down as a player delivers the ball but before the ball reaches the pins.
g. A delivered ball comes in contact with a foreign obstacle.
