Average score

It is always the club’s responsibility to ensure that the player’s average is correct and reflects their current performance level.

The competition management has the right to move players if they perform 25 points above the upper average limit of their class (cluster of 8 players).

Players Using Ramps

Players using a ramp must bring their own ramp.
There are a limited number of ramps available for loan in the bowling alley, but you must indicate in your registration if you need to borrow one.

Ramp bowling is played with one start per lane.
The player is expected to be assisted by a coach/escort who places the ball on the ramp.
The assistant/escort is not allowed to help the player by aiming the ramp or adjusting the ball’s position beyond an agreed neutral starting position.

If the player does not follow the rules, they will first receive a warning.
If the behaviour continues, the player may be disqualified.
