no but i can see how that would be upsetting. how did the other teams bowler get pre bowled? when will you be starting
to use your new ball ?
Has anyone else experienced what I experienced tonight? A power outage at our bowling center while we were bowling. It was such a shame... I really felt bad. Luckily, it happened during our non-sanctioned Wednesday Night Mixed League. In other words, we make our own rules (there are only 6 4-person teams in this league) and each team has a captain. So generally, the team talks it over, the captain takes our choice to the secretary or president. Its rare we have to do anything other than choose team names when doing that, but tonight we had a tough decision to make... because it only would have affected one team.
You see, the power went out in the third game of the night. Tonight was our Championship night. Now, while I was not in the Championship Game (to decide who wins the league - first half winner vs second half winner) we still had to figure how we could end this season. Long story short... one team conceded to the other even before any of the other teams began discussing what the options could be, but that's a whole other discussion because one of the bowlers on the opposing team had pre-bowled - a BIG NO NO in USBC Leagues.
So, anyway... has anyone ever had the power go out while you were bowling?
During a game? It was so bizarre! (Note: It was due to high winds and lightning.)

Closest experience I've had is having to change lanes when either the pinsetter or the ball return stopped working. The most dramatic was when either a belt started slipping in the ball return or the motor burned out and there was smoke coming out of the ball return.

Did you ever see the episode of the Andy Griffith Show where Howard Sprage had the front nine and the power went out? He had to finish the game the next day. I remember he took three steps and counted his steps. "1 2 3!"

I'm not sure how he did it, when he did it or why he did. Haven't talked to him.
As for my new Roto Grip Disturbed, I'll use it in a practice session the day it's drilled. My local pro shop, who has drilled all my balls over the last decade,will drill it once it arrives. I'll likely start the thread once I receive the ball so I can give more accurate updates to its progress and scores. I hope to have it drilled and at least one 3 game series under my belt before May 12th. We leave for States the following weekend.

Yes I have. High winds during a massive thundrstorm/tornadoes. Power came back on three days later and the entire night was replayed.
