113.0. "ABC Bowling Rules" by LACV01::BAUMEISTER () Fri May 09 1997 07:26

    Can anyone tell me where to find "ABC official bowling rules"
    
    Here's my question about league bowling
    
    	What are the rules when a bowler must leave during the middle of a
    game.

113.1	Team Captain or Service Desk	DAGWUD::UMBRELLO	`Mon May 12 1997 06:00`	12
	Usually at the beginning of a bowling season the league is given several copies of the ABC rules book for officers to hand out to each team (usually the captain). You should be able to get a copy (even just to look at) at the Service Desk where you bowl. In answer to your particular question, I believe the rule is that you give the bowler 1/10 of their average for each remaining frame (I think). Check the book to be sure! Cheers! /kmu

	If you're in a ABC sanctioned league, ask your captain for a copy of the rules. I agree with note 113.1 on the question asked.

	Keep in mind that there must be a valid reason for the bowler to leave - ie injury, sickness, emergency, etc. If someone, for example, just decides to "quit", I believe the rules state that he or she get ZERO for th remainder of the game..... Steve
113.4	Bowled out?	LACV01::BAUMEISTER	`Mon May 19 1997 10:41`	7

	I'm not sure, but I believe so...
113.6	authorization from opposing team	DAGWUD::UMBRELLO	`Wed May 21 1997 06:02`	2
	yeah, typically though, the bowler should get permission from the opposing team on whether to allow him/her to bowl out.
