-
Be ready to bowl when the pins are set. Do
not bowl until the pinsetting machine has completed its cycle and the
sweepbar is raised, otherwise you may damage the ball or machine.
-
Do not use another player's ball without their
permission.
-
Do not take too long to aim or get set up when
you are on the approach.
-
Stay on your approach while delivering the ball.
Step down off the approach after making each delivery.
-
Observe lane courtesy. The bowler on the
right should bowl if both reach the approach at the same time. Stay
off the approach while you wait.
-
Good bowling requires concentration.
Bowlers should always keep in mind when others are preparing to bowl,
excessive movement or noise could be distracting. When a player is
ready to bowl, give them the courtesy of making their shot without
interference, as you will want the same courtesy when it is your turn.
-
Excessive "lofting" hurts your game and damages
the lane.
-
Refrain from using abusive language or obscene
gestures.
-
Play the game to win, but be a gracious loser.
-
Remember, good sportsmanship is always the key
to a successful game.
