As we all know, bowling is a sport. With that comes a bit of responsibility. It is called sportsmanship. Yes, I know, there are many times when we throw a bad shot, or think we should have gotten that strike, and we get frustrated. However, that does not mean we can kick the ball return, or even punch the wall. Would you be violating a rule? Not that I can find, but by doing that, I would imagine not only would you be casting a bad image of the league and your team, it would also cast a bad image of yourself, and the sport itself. This is supposed to be fun. Yes, we can still be competitive, and have fun. Think about it.
We actually have a report from Sycamore Lanes in Covington this week. Ernie Harvey picked up the 4-10 in the Monday night Pioneer League.
In the DNA Karaoke League, Ann Minnette picked up the 5-10 split and bowled a 210 which is 59 pins over her average of 151. In the Tuesday Nite Go-Getters , Irvin Summers was complaining before the start of bowling that he had not been bowling well. Maybe he should complain a bit more. He rolled a 242 game, which was 103 pins over his game average, and by the end of the night he rolled 128 pins over his series norm with a 545 series. Deb Miller was 53 pins over average for a 164 game. Gerald Arnett and Fred Fultz picked up the 2-7, while Laura Baird converted the 5-6-10.

Rule of the week review:
Fouls:
5c. Foul Detection
A USBC approved automatic foul detecting device must be used, if available. When not available or temporarily inoperative, the following procedures shall be used to call fouls:
1. In tournament play, management shall assign a foul judge or have the official scorers call fouls.
2. In league play, the opposing team captains shall call fouls or a foul judge shall be appointed. Failure to provide for the calling of fouls as specified shall disqualify scores bowled for USBC high score award consideration.
Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down. See you at the lanes.
