MYTH #32: USBC Rules are only guidelines.

BUSTED: USBC Rules define the game. Rules 1 through 18 of the General Playing Rules have no options and cannot be changed by a league or tournament. However, there are many USBC League Rules and Tournament Rules that allow changes. Rule 100a allows leagues to adopt league rules that do not conflict with USBC Rules.

MYTH #31: League rules supersede USBC rules.

BUSTED: USBC rules are the foundation of the game of American Tenpins. Leagues may adopt rules as long as they do not conflict with USBC rules. Many USBC rules allow leagues to adopt options and, in this instance, adopted league rules would take precedence; otherwise, USBC rules are the default. The USBC General Playing Rules (Rules 1-18) are examples of rules that relate to the basics of the game and cannot be changed.👍

MYTH #30: At 100% handicap every team has a 50-50 chance of winning.

BUSTED: Even at 100% handicap, the higher-average teams or bowlers still have a decided edge. Seventy out of 100 championships still are won by the higher-average team when 100% handicap is used. An exact 50-50 distribution of league championships would result only if a 116% handicap were used.😕

MYTH #29: Handicap fully equalizes competition.

BUSTED: According to a four-year study of handicap leagues (mixed, all-women, and all-men) the handicap percentages 75%, 80% and 90% do not fully equalize competition.😮

MYTH #28: If I write “PROTEST” on the recap sheet the board must act.🤔

BUSTED: To simply write “PROTEST” on a recap sheet does not give the league officers any idea what is being protested. In order for the league board of directors (officers and team captains) to take action on a protest, the protest must be in writing, signed, detail what occurred and filed within the timelines of Rule 120; an anonymous protest does not require the board to take action. A proper protest should be dated, state why the protest is being filed and what rules were broken.
