Love bowling the 40 frame game! Personally it's the most fun I have when I bowl considering the format! Great to do with a group you enjoy having fun with! My issue is with the 40 framer that runs concurrent with USBC nationals. There seems to be some integrity issue and the guy running it in 2019 definitely is not following rules he's basing everything off his discretion which is a big no no! I bowled a 7pm squad with a group of 14+ and they freshly oiled the lanes before our squad. I come back 2 weeks later to bowl 7pm squad again to find out there's no oil. When I expressed my concern to the tournament director, he looked me in the pupils and lied to me. He claimed that they never re oil the lanes. He claimed that they only re oil for 10am and 4pm. I then asked if there would be any special circumstance where they would re oil before 7pm and he responded no. I let him know that I had just bowled 2 weeks previous and they did a re oil. Of course he pulled his best porky pig and started stuttering as he knew he was caught in a lie. He claimed that there was a squad before so they re oiled. The same day I bowled there was a squad before and they didn't re oil. I asked for a refund because competition had not started and had I known this new rule I would never bowl on the burn. All in all there's no consistency with the direction and he does things based on his discretion. I have multiple bowlers whom can corroborate my story and confirm the inconsistency. Sad that a national tournament ran for months is being done out of discretion and no official guidelines!! read more
