This is the future!!!
Just had a thought right now about a different way of defining 'sport' bowling. Instead of looking to everyones favorite whipping boy of the last 20 years(lane conditions) why not just change whats in the bowlers hands? Quite simply if you want to be a 'sport' bowler(and recieve a seperate class of membership and awards from 'normal' bowlers) just use non reactive equipment. It shouldn't be very hard to keep track of a 'sport' registered player during leauge to make sure the newer weaponry doesn't find it's way onto the rack(which i'm sure someone playing the game in this 'honest' fashion would not be tempted to do) If you want to hold a 'sport' tournament or leauge just have a 'no reactives/particle' rule. Lets bust out those Hammers and U-Dots and remember how to bowl again(or Yellow dots and 48's for the really brave ones!)
