      While watching a match on the PBA tournament this past Sunday, one of the right handed bowlers left a few pins on the right side of the lane.  Then, something happened, that I would think was against the rules. The right handed bowler rolled his next ball to convert the spare with his left hand.

     I sent off an e-mail to the USBC inquiring about this, and received this reply:

Rule 328 - Changing Delivery

In handicap and classified tournaments, once the bowler has taken his/her first shot, he/she shall continue to use that hand throughout the tournament unless, due to injury, the bowler finds it impossible to continue bowling with the same hand. The bowler may seek approval of the tournament director to continue with the opposite hand.

Penalty: Disqualification in the event in which the violation occurs and loss of entry fee for that event.
