TBA Rules: RULE 110 DEAD BALL 1. A ball will be declared dead if any of the following occur: a. After a delivery (and before the next delivery on the same lane), attention is immediately called to the fact that one or more pins were missing from the setup. As for the OP, the pin should have...

I like how the pie chart's percentages add up to 110%...

Congrats to my brother for bowling his second ever game with the first 11, but this time in the trios league, Manhattan Super Bowl at Mascot. The feat was accomplished in the first game of league followed by a 234 and a 197 for a respectable 730 series. The 299 was a great effort seeing...

I believe they jump to the top because a new vote is cast in the poll contained within the thread.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Your understanding of the generally accepted practice of calling deadballs is not the rule itself. In fact, if the deadball procedure was as you outlined as general practice, could there still be a deadball if nobody verified a witness's call?? Turn the scenario...

If they could enhance EARL to loft it 60 feet into the pocket that would solve the problem of oil transition. :p

Congratulations to my brother Greg for his first 300 game. It was bowled at Manhattan Super Bowl at Mascot on lanes 1&2 as a pacer in the Monday night Freelance league. The games were 237-258-300=795. Well done mate.

Hey Gav, Had a similar problem last year. Called the PS3 Support line (I think the number is 1300 365 911) and found out the problem was with the disc reader itself. Needed to be sent to Sony to be repaired/replaced. It was done for free (postage included) because it was still on warranty...

I see your point Jim, but the same thing happened when they introduced the restriction in the first place....

Hey all. No word from TBA directly on the matter but I checked the TBA website and they have had an update on the rule book. http://www.tenpin.org.au/fileadmin/user_upload/Rules_and_Regulations/Rules_and_Regulations/TBA_Rule_Book_V8.1__6-4-11.pdf The updated rules have deleted the...

I was thinking about this. Even in scratch leagues, averages must be recorded and calculated for the reason that they may have to face a forfeit/bye situation, the degree of difficulty of which is set out by this rule: RULE 320 BYES / FORFEITS 1)When a bye or a forfeit occurs, due to any...

Emailing the CEO is what Mr. Coxon advised to do if we wanted the rule amended. He also said any consideration for a rule change would return to the Rules and Ethics Committee for review. In other words, John Coxon will have the final say on any changes. His committe IS the ultimate...

Exactly one of my points. The rule being interpreted by the very people who drafted them and introduced them into the rule book is a farce. As such the written rule book has no value when the authority can say a rule means what it doesn't say. Shouldn't the writing of and interpretation of rules...

Of course, me and my Dad are trying to get this rule changed. My Dad has sent an email to Cara and we are awaiting a reply. I still don't understand why the rule was introduced, as John Coxon mentioned it was revised in consultation with the WTBA and the USBC, and the USBC does allow for one...
