Clarification of Rule 37
(Copied from November Go Tenpin for those who have not seen it!)
Rule 37 together with addendum reads as follows:
The use of abrasives such as, but not limited to sandpaper, steel wool and the so-called Scotchbrite pads is prohibited during competition. It is permissible for bowlers to use abrasives both prior and following competition. However, once a league, competition or a tournament block has begun, the provisions of the rule would apply throughout that entire session. As a result it is not permissible to use the abrasives between each game of a particular league session or tournament block, during which
only a dry towel may be used to clean the surface of the ball.
Addendum - The use of any substance which emits dust, such as Easy slide and/or hand conditioners is prohibited in the players/seating area.
Pat White - BTBA Chairman, explained that the intention of the addendum is to make it clear that nothing must be used which allows dust to settle on the floor. if dust is found on the floor this could be transferred to the approach, which would contravene Rule 35 which states:-
No one shall mark or shall introduce on any part of the approach or lane any substance which will have a tendancy to injure, disfigure or place the approach or lane in such a condition as to detract from the possibility of other bowlers being able to take advantage of the usual conditions. The use of such substances as aristol, talcum powder, pumice, resin etc on shoes: the use of soft rubber soles and heels that rub off, and in any manner alter the normal condition of the approach are strictly prohibited.
The Olympic league starts it's new season in three weeks time and has spaces for new bowlers within existing teams. The league bowls at AMF Gravesend on Thursday evenings.
