If the pin is out of range for the rack to pick it up and the sweep knocks it over, the pin is placed back in its original position. If the pin is out of place for the rack to pick up and the sweep does not knock it over, the pin must be shot at where it stands.
The ABC stood for the American Bowling Congress, which existed from 1895 until 2005. It was the sanctioning body for men's bowling, and the companion to the WIBC (Women's International Bowling Congress).
In 2005, the separate men's, women's and youth divisions were reorganized and merged into the USBC, the United States Bowling Congress. But older awards, and bowling equipment, might still say "ABC (or ABC/WIBC) Certified."

How do you bowl on synthetic lanes?
Assuming you've bowled on wooden lanes, you typically want to throw the ball a little slower, or try to lay it down closer to the foul line. The syntetics are a little more slick than the wood so you need to ball to have a chance at hooking. I usually target a little closer than the arrows and try to slow my feet down. You can also switch to a more aggressive bowling ball.
What does it means if the lanes are dry?
This is in reference to the oil on the lane. If there isn't much oil on the lane, the ball can get get out of control easily. Especially for the swing or hook shot bowler. For them, the less oil there is, the fast the ball will back to the pocket. This can make for a very difficult adjustment to the shot.

Your average and handicap can both be established the first week.
To Determine Your Average:
Take total number of games bowled and add the scores together. Then Divide by the total number of games bowled. For instance. Take the scores from three games of bowling and add them together. Then divide by three. This is your average bowling score (184 + 199 + 172 = 555. 555 / 3 = 185. Your average is 185).
To Determine Your Handicap:
Handicap Percentage is set in the bylaws of the league you joined. If you are unsure, ask your league secretary. The typical is 90% of 210. The number 210 represents the average game score across the league.
Take the average game score and subtract your average. Then multiply that number by the handicap percentage and you get your individual handicap. For example, if we take our average of 185 and subtract it from 210 we get 25. 90% of 25 is 22.5 or 23 pins of handicap (210 - 185 = 25. 90% of 25 or 0.9 x 25 = 22.5 which we round up to 23).
How does spares and strikes count in bowling?
Strikes are 10 pins plus the next two ball counts thrown.
Spares are 10 pins plus the next ball count thrown.
As an example. The first frame had a strike and the second frame had a 9 and a spare and the third frame had a 8 and a 1.
For the first frame, it would be 10+9+1 = 20.
For the second frame it would be 10+8.
Depending on whether you get a strike, spare, or an open frame, the score is the frame with the strike: 10+x+y. X means your first throw and y is your second.

What happens if a bowling secretary steals the league's prize money?
The answer will depend on a few factors.
If the league is certified through the United States Bowling Congress, they provide free bonding, burglary/robbery insurance to leagues. They cover funds when a league officer or Youth league supervisor/official misuses them or is robbed by force or threat of violence.
There are some requirements of the league, such as:
- Open an account in the league name in an insured banking institution or in-house deposit service.
- Make deposits within a week of receipt.
- The president and/or Youth league supervisor must verify the account each month by obtaining a statement from the bank or in-house deposit service and mathematically checking for an accurate balance.
- Two elected officers must co-sign for withdrawals. Two signatures are required on all checks written on a league account regardless of the banking institutions policy.
- Cosigners cannot be immediate family members.
- All officers and/or co-signers on the league account must be at least 18 years of age.
If a league fails to follow the above procedures, the bonding program only will cover a maximum of 50 percent of the documented loss on a bond claim and tne week's receipts (up to $2,000) for a burglary or robbery.
