hey..
nah it was with latrobe.. when i bowled i left the 1, 2 and 9 pin then the pins hit the gate and came bak and knocked the 1 and 2 over, and the latrobe dude told me that they had to be re-stood because it had come off the gate.. but it had happened earlier in that game to a vally bowler but nothing got said. so they went and got the disputes commity to find out..i got to bowl at just the 9 pin and after that Lisa checked the rule book and found out that they didnt have to be re-stood. also. the small fact that i had won my point no matter what i bowled the 7 or the 9.. and we had lost the overall.. it really didnt make any difference at all.. but yeah i'm quite proud.. i stood up for my ground.. i would have been very angry if they stood it back up concidering the other young girl didnt get her's put back up.!!

Since we are not going to use names
The girls captain from Ballarat bowled in the 10th frame and left the 1,2& 9 a pin hit the sweep and knocked over the 1&2 pin. I as manager questioned whether it was legal pinfall and suggested that the pins be re-stood. The girls captain said that it had happened earlier to a valley bowler and nothing was said. I personally had not seen this but found out later that the girls captain was correct
The young girl bowled and left the 1,8& 9 a pin came off the sweep and knocked over the 1 pin leaving the 8 & 9
So the question that I have for you as to why you as captain or your manager didn’t challenge this pinfall is
1. You knew that it was legal pinfall as stated in the rule book and confirmed by Lisa later
2. You didn’t challenge the pinfall as it left a 8-9 split which was a considerably harder spare than the 1,8&9 – By the way she did spare the 8-9 split
3. You had no idea
Obviously it wasn’t 1 as you would have stated that rule when I questioned you so that only leaves 2 & 3. If it was 2 and you didn’t challenge the pinfall as it left a harder spare – great sportsmanship shown by you
As you or your manager never questioned the pinfall then have you accepted that the pinfall for that frame was correct.
As we couldn’t agree on an outcome the tournament dispute committee was called over to resolve the situation. Once they were called it was up to them to decide.
As they decided that the pins were legimate pinfall the decision was that your score was 9 and you spared the nine pin. If they had decided that the pins be re-stood then they would have been your score would have been 7 and you would of have to spare the 1,2 &9. The tournament dispute committee decision was final. In the end they made the correct decision as by the TBA rules.
As for the points yes you had won your individual point but if the little boy had struck out in the 10th frame then you would have won the overall but since you had already conceded the overall you obviously had no faith in your teammates ability as a bowler and it is not suprising that your team finished where it did
In closing this is not the sort of information that should be posted in a public forum but if you wish to air your dirty laundry expect a right of reply
PS for your information the young Girls name is Bree and the Latrobe Dudes name is Bryan
