1) DO yield the 'right of way' When two bowlers are on adjacent lanes, and simultaneously ready to bowl, the bowler on the right delivers first. The other bowler ought to remain off or to the rear of the approach area. This rule doesn't apply if the bowler on the left is shooting for a spare. If the rule is not followed , and your a hunter, well you know what to do.
2) DON'T take a practice swing with your bowling ball on the concourse or behind the approach. Wait until you are upon the approach itself before doing any practice exercises. And no jumping jacks.
3) DO be ready when it's your turn to bowl. Remain in your lane area while your teammates are bowling, don't wander off half drunk out of your mind and go hunting.
4) DON'T use an excessive amount of body gyrations at the foul line after delivering the ball. Confine your body 'English' to your own lane. No swiveling hips yyz. Do not flap your arms as your BO could offend other bowlers.
5) DO bowl immediately when it is your turn. Once you have your ball, assume your stance and start your delivery, it isn't necessary to wait for lanes on either side of you to be cleared before you bowl, just observe the 'right of way' rule. If your finger gets stuck in a ball, do not swing it wildly, just do the normal flyover and get some lubrication.
6) DON'T bring food or drink into the settee or bowlers area, a drop of liquid or any type of foreign substance spilled on the approach could cause a slip and serious injury. Do Not chew when your bowling as you could fall on your face.
7) DO wait until you have completed the frame before checking your score. Don't come back to the scorekeeper after the first ball has been rolled.
Keep your ass in gear and hurry up so other bowlers behind you waiting can bowl.
8) DON'T bench jockey while others are bowling. Friendly bantering is an accepted part of the sport, but don't overdo it. Be a good competitor.:scared :scared bench jockey !!!!:142smilie
9) DO return your bowling shoes to the counter control desk after bowling, and if you've borrowed a 'house ball' return it to the storage rack.:SIB
10) DON'T linger at the foul line after releasing the ball. As soon as your ball hits the pins return to your seat.:00hour
