My wife & I bowl on a mixed couple league on saturday nights. The house constantly puts open bowlers on the pair next to our league, leaving a single lane vacant. Last night they put 10 high school aged boy on one lane. We spent the whole night waiting for them, because they were getting their ball from the wrong side of the return / walking up on the wrong side / wrestling on the approach / standing at the foul line trying to block each others shots. The manager said it was OK, because there was a vacant lane between them and our league.
The house has glow bowl scheduled for 11:30, our league is scheduled for 8:30, but the previous league run over so we usually start around 9:00. At 11:30 the lights go out and the glow bowl starts whether we are finished or not.
Does this happen where you bowl?
