Last Week our league bowled on lanes 1-2,3-4,7-8. The 5-6 lanes were down
because of problems with the rackers and they moved us to the 7-8 lanes. During
to first game beginning of the 2nd frame a worker dropped down onto the pin
area(racker)of lane 6 and started to work on the equipment. All you could see
was his legs and feet as he moved around and this to me was very distracting.
We bowled the 2nd frame and at the beginning of the 3rd frame he moved in such a
way that it caused me to loose my train of though and cause my to miss my spare.
I protested to the Sec of the league and was frond upon. However the worker was
told to leave the area until we were finished.
Should I have continued my protest and what should have happened?? Should the
2nd/3rd frames been done over for everyone? Was I wrong? How should I have
filed the protest and what good would it have done? By the way, we lost by 42
pins overall, so the 2nd/3rd frame could have made a difference - who knows.
And the Sec of the league is really pissed off at me now........ For so called
delaying the game that night
I need someone to answer a question for me. Last Week our league bowled on lanes 1-2,3-4,7-8. The 5-6 lanes were down because of problems with the rackers and...
A mechanic working on a broken lane is NOT interference. Interference would be someone having direct contact with you during your approach. If the lanes were...
All I can say is...That person or owner of the alley should have waited for the next day to work on the machine, that way it wouldn't bother the other bowlers...
I have to disagree. A down lane is not productive. I need my lanes up and running. And my mechanics will do what is necessary to get my lanes up and ...
So are you saying that you would put open bowlers on the lanes right next to your leagues? Don't your leagues pay enough in lane fees, concessions and drinks...
That is correct. Every league is given the option at their league meeting. You can pay for the buffer pair if you would like a pair open. I am in the business...
... You put open bowlers right next to league bowlers? Most houses I see leave a pair between league and open bowlers... Eldred -- I'm raising donations for a...
Yes I would. I can't afford to have lanes sitting idle if there are bowlers that can be put on them. If it would cause me to go onto a waiting list and have...
... Ok, you're the only house I know of that does that. Do your open bowlers give lane courtesy, or do they just run up...whenever? I wouldn't have a problem...
There are plenty of centers that do that. Before a bowler is put on a lane next to a league they are told about lane courtesy. We also have a hand out we give...
... It must be a regional thing. I haven't seen any of the centers around here do that. ... Ok, that helps. I assume that your league bowlers are used to it,...
There are so many corporate owned centers here that it is such a cold regimented experience to bowl league that I do not even bowl in any leagues anymore. The...
... I would respectfully submit that the 'league experience' is determined more by the league officers and members than by the house... You can have a fun...
well skip if it was me i wopuld have done the same thing shoot we might have even gotten away with a split. but for your so called league secretary i think...
As others have stated, no rule covers this and the house is there to make money and down lanes are not making money. Waiting is usually not an option as the...
I do NOT ever agree with this At All if it's true. In any league we have bowled in we've never had people next to us. Back in the old days the house I bowled...
Rick How many lane are in your House In some of the places I have bowled They would put people on the lanes next to us bu in Smaller Houses Like Papps in...
The corporate centers typically look at League Bowling to "pay their bills" while they make profits on open play. Most centers seem to always be willing to...

Nothing, hat part was in part to a statement Arthur had made. _____ From: BowlingTips101@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BowlingTips101@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
awesome im glad you do. Would you place an above average bowler next to the league before the lanes were filled so they at least have a good bowler who knows...
Yes if a league bowler comes they would be put their first. However the league bowlers would still complain. They would complain if you hung them with a new...
I remember one night The house I bowled in did keep a breakdown pair available for the league, and they did have a breakdown, They wanted the open bowlers that...
We have at least one house where it's owned by a rather big group. They seem to do it right. They are happy to give league bowlers better pricing and also to...
