1. Joe has been bowling for 40 years with the same ball. He is getting ready to leave for a tournament and realized he can still see the manufacturer's name and product name on the ball, but the serial number is no longer visible. What should Joe do so that his ball complies with USBC Equipment Specifications and Certification?

Use it and hope he doesn’t get caught.
Use it because the ball is still legal.
Use a marker and write a serial number on the ball.
Have a new serial number engraved on the ball.

2. When all teams in a league have not bowled the same number of games, how are the league’s position standings figured?

Standings are based on most points won per team.
Standings are based on a percentage basis (winning percentage).
Equal amount of wins/losses are issued to each team until they actually make up games missed.
None of the above.

3. A mixed league has a rule providing that team rosters must contain at least one member of the opposite gender. One team in the league has three males on the roster and a vacancy. Can they participate in the league without having a female on their roster?

Yes.
No.

4. Five weeks prior to the end of the first half, a team could not bowl and requested a postponement. The opposing team is going to bowl with them in the make up. How long do they have to make up the missed games?

Within 2 weeks since our league rules state that is how long teams have to make up missed games.
Prior to the end of the first half position round.
Prior to bowling the next league session.
Prior to the final date of the first half.

5. When there is a protest involving a foul, legal pinfall, or a dead ball, and it cannot be resolved by the two team captains or a league officer, what should be done?

The bowler should throw a provisional ball and the protest is decided by the league board.
The score is erased and the bowler rebowls the frame.
The center manager decides.
