Last week, I described an event
that had me scratching my head, and with the explanation given, it probably had
you scratching yours. Some how, I did
not include ALL the rule.
While watching a match on the
PBA tournament 2 weeks ago, a right handed bowler left a few pins on the right
side. Then, something happened that I thought
was against the rules. The right handed bowler rolled his next ball to convert
the spare left handed.
I sent an e-mail to the USBC
inquiring about this, and received this reply:
Rule 328 - Changing Delivery
USBC Rule 328 applies to any USBC certified scratch tournament unless the rules state otherwise.
In scratch tournament competition, a participant can bowl with either hand at any time unless the tournament rules state otherwise.
In handicap and classified tournaments, the bowler must use the hand they started the tournament with at all times.
The exception, tournament management may allow an individual to switch to the opposite hand due to injury. However, permission must be requested and approved by tournament management.
