MYTH#30: A team or individual can prebowl for the first league session. CONFIRMED: USBC Rules do not prohibit prebowling prior to the first session of the league. When teams or individuals are granted permission to prebowl, the bowlers must pay for membership prior to completion of the first series as stated in Rule 101a. Therefore, arrangements should be made withthe league secretary for bowlers to purchase membership prior to completing the pre-bowlor the bowler can purchase the membership through BOWL.com.

MYTH#31: Youth can compete in tournaments using bowling balls with beer logos. BUSTED: Beer logo bowling balls are USBC approved; however, legislation was recently passed to eliminate the use of bowling balls depicting alcohol in any USBC Youth tournaments. Other restrictions in USBC Youth tournament play are no equipment or apparel depicting tobacco, illegal substances, or inappropriate language or gestures.

MYTH#32: USBC provides receipts for payment of membership dues. CONFIRMED: It is the perforated section on the right side of the membership application card. Complete this section and make sure the league secretary signs the receipt. This is especially important for those members that bowl in multiple USBC leagues and participate in tournaments. Without the receipt, you can expect a league secretary or tournament manager to ask for payment of membership dues. Anyone that bowls in a USBC league must complete a membership application card for each league and purchase membership or show proof of membership. A bowler cannot wait to pay membership dues “next time”; dues must be paid prior to the completion of the first series bowled in a USBC league according to Rule 101. There are some instances where a league is in another local or state association. Dues must be paid in each state and local association a member participates in. The receipt will verify payment of national dues in this case.

MYTH# 33: Ties in standings can be broken with total pins. BUSTED: Ties in the standings cannot be broken with total pins according to USBC Rule 113. A roll-off must be conducted to break first place ties. Prizes for other ties should be combined and distributed evenly.

MYTH#34: Once adopted all league rules are final. BUSTED: League rules can be changed by a majority vote prior to the first scored ball being thrown, even if after the organization meeting. League rules may also be changed after the first ball is thrown but only by written unanimous consent of each team captain or their designated representative.

MYTH#35: Leagues must grant postponements due to snow. PLAUSIBLE: USBC holds that inclement weather is sufficient cause and therefore the team must be granted the postponement if the team cannot field a legal lineup. If the team is able to field a legal lineup the postponement does not have to be granted.

MYTH#36: You can throw a ball with a pin in the gutter. CONFIRMED: A bowling ball must not come in contact with anything before hitting the pins on the pin deck. If the ball hits a pin in the gutter, otherwise known as deadwood, the delivery counts, but resulting pinfall does not count (Rule 6b-Illegal Pinfall). A downed pin on the lane is also dead wood. USBC recommends dead wood is removed prior to making a delivery so you do not lose your opportunity to score. Illegal pinfall can also occur when pins ricochet after hitting deadwood and knock down pins.

MYTH#37: You cannot substitute a bowler during a game. BUSTED: Rule 104a-8 allows the team captain to replace a player during a game. The player cannot return to that game but can bowl any other game in the series.

MYTH#38: A bowler gets zeroes if they bowl one or two games and quit. BUSTED: A bowler cannot be forced to finish a series. When a bowler decides not to complete a series, the league absentee score is used for the bowler, unless an eligible substitute is used.

MYTH#39: Substitutes cannot be on the roster. CONFIRMED: Only members of a team should be on the roster. In the case of a league having assigned substitutes, they should be maintained on a substitute list.

MYTH#40: Scores from one league can be used for postponements of another league. BUSTED: Scores cannot cross over leagues. The scores being bowled during league play are bowled for that particular league and cannot be used for another league.

MYTH#41: The team winning the most segments in a split season league is the league champion. PLAUSIBLE: A league may adopt a rule that declares a team that wins all segments the league champion. However, if there is additional money set aside for the teams in the playoff, the league must hold a playoff.

MYTH#42: If there is a tie for first place after position round a tenth frame is bowled to determine the winner. BUSTED: If the position round is at the end of a segment in a split season league or the end of the season, a roll-off must be held. The roll-off consists of the same number of games using the same point system used within the league unless the league rules state otherwise. If the teams are tied after the roll-off, then an additional tenth frame is bowled until the tie is broken. January 2020 Bowling Showcase News Page 11 Being in the Right Places at the Right Times

Also among the inductees were Mika Koivuniemi and Chris Barnes, the two bowlers Kulick defeated on TV to win the 2010 PBA Tournament of Champions — an event that fellow inductee Bob Johnson covered in person for Bowlers Journal.
