       Rule of the week review:

Fouls:

Equipment (Is touching the equipment a foul).

Ok, imagine you will, the ball return. A portion of the ball return is underground running from where the pins are located, and runs until your ball comes out on the approach. Most of you know that there is a cover on the ball return channel, located between 2 lanes.  One end of that cover might stick out on the actual approach about 1 to 1 ½ inch past the bowlers side of the foul line. Did you know, it is NOT a foul if your foot rests on top of that cover, unless your foot goes past the foul line.

Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down. See you at the lanes.
