Rules/Foul Question
« on: May 01, 2004, 04:44:46 AM »
I was bowling in a tournament today, and I had a bit of a problem on one shot. The ball stuck on my hand, so I just stopped myself on the approach. Unfortunately, I slid just a little over the foul line. However, it didn't count me a foul and the rest of the people on my lanes just told me to keep going and not worry about it. I was told that because it was not a "full delivery", it didn't matter. I have been worrying about it all day though...

Is this correct according to the rulebook? Any info is appreciated!

Yes, if you didn't release the ball, I'm pretty sure it should not count.  A foul is when the ball is released and you step over.

And yes, I have already replied to your post that quick.

I'm a post shark.  What's that you ask?  You'll find out soon enough...
