This past week, this guy has been leaving his towel the entire night on the ball return. Bugged the crap out of me. It shouldn't be left there. I I her have mine with me while I sit or on top of the scoring table.

I always thought league rules stated you couldn't leave a towel, or anything that's not a bowling ball, on the return. Jason Belmonte and Pete Weber just about threw down over this once. My opinion is leave it behind the lanes, including towels (after you wipe off).

While a league or tournament could make a rule like that, it would be specific to just that league or tournament It's not a Usbc rule.Originally Posted by Timmyb

The same thing happened to me last Wednesday. The other #4 bowler on the opposing team kept putting his towel on top of the air vent. So each time I went up, I had to brush his towel and rosin bag into the ball return as I held my hand over the vent. I'm sure he was annoyed that every time he placed his stuff on the vent, he'd come back finding it sitting in the ball return...but that's what you get for leaving it there.
We saw PDW get upset at Belmo about this, this season. Belmo kept putting his towel on the ball return area, despite being told by the PBA not to do that....and Weber didn't want it touching his balls or him needing to touch it to move it. Of course, Pete made a big deal about it....because that's what Pete does...where as if it was me I'd have just pushed it onto the floor and went about my business....but I'm not the showman of a PDW.

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
I use towel and a pad. My towel is on top of the counter damped with Remedy Rx cleaner. I used it after 3 frames to clean the ball. The pad, I use before every shot and I place it on top of my bowling bag. I don't like leaving my towel on the ball rack and on the scores tabel/control panel.
If you leave your towel on my ball or the air flow vent I will gently tell you not to do it anymore and to leave it on the scorer or table behind the scorer. The second time it is on the floor under the ball return. Next time it is back in the settee. Then the last time in the mystery world of what happened to my stuff world..
It is against USBC rules to put anything on your shoes that could affect other bowlers. I have seen planters actually put water on the floor under their table to get their shoe wet so they don't slide. Sliders use easy slide (illegal) but most are very sneaky.
Whoa.....tough guy eh
Today for me. I did what you did. By the way this did not bug me. I was more concerned about hitting my mark, etc.

As long as you're not leaving it on my ball I don't care what you do with it. If it's on the air vent I'll move it but you better not gripe at me about it.
