Talk Bowling – Episode #68
Question from Terry:
Q – So is there a definite rule or regulation that deals with lane conditions for league bowlers? I have seen where the lanes are oiled prior to bowling, but I have also experienced where they were only oiled once a day.
A – Unfortunately that is one of the problems in our sport. The center you bowl in has to be USBC certified but there are no rules regarding the conditions you must bowl on. Like you said you may bowl on freshly oiled lanes or you may bowl on lanes that were oiled yesterday and many games have been played on them.
Most houses try not to have this happen, they usually make sure the conditions are fairly fresh for league bowlers but in some cases that just does not happen. Sport or PBA Experience leagues are different in that matter. The lanes have o be freshly oiled with the specified pattern to qualify under USBC rules.
Question from timjiminez:
Q – How would you be able to get 15 fouls in one game? Please explain, I am probably over thinking it all but please explain.
A – Well you can get two fouls per frame which means you could end up with 20 fouls if you double fouled in every frame.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Answer to the question John asked that he made up is the max score that you can get if you foul 15 times in a row is 80
Maximum score with 15 fouls in one game is 100!
Double foul in frames 1-7, strike in frames 8 and 9, double strike in frame 10 with final ball foul.
Alan from the UK
Alan that is still only 80. There are several ways to get a score of 80, my personal favorite is FF FF FF FF FF FF F/ X X XFF.
Indeed, added the second strike in frame ten as though it was another frame, not just a bonus ball in the tenth, dohh!
Must have had a brainstorm. 80 it is!
Are you ever going to discuss WAHSAM?
Should the houses that have them installed tell their bowlers they are rolling on cheater alleys?
It's on our list 🙂
