We had a "gentleman" last night who insisted he should be allowed to bowl when he was the only one from his team in attendance (two called in with Covid and I think they called the third, but since this guy didn't give them his contact info, they didn't call him so he didn't know)
I understand that he was upset that he couldn't bowl.
But when we pointed out that rules say you need two regulars, minimum, to make a minimum lineup and subs don't count to that, he insisted that he should be allowed to bowl (but since he wouldn't be able to count his scores with the rest of the team, he'd have to take an absence when THEY make-up).
I've been there - been the only guy to show up. My reaction to that was to give my contact info and make SURE they contacted me next time.
But dealing with him put a pallor on the rest of the evening.
