RULES FOR DRAWN CUP GAMES

1. Should any Cup Game up to the Semi-Final stage end in a draw then a replay will take place on the alley of the team originally drawn away.

2. Should the replayed game also end in a draw then all nine players from each team will be required to bowl a further three extra balls until a positive result is reached.

3. All replays should be played within fourteen days of the original game if possible, but most certainly before the next round of the particular cup competition.

4. If the Semi-Finals and Finals end in a draw, as these games will be played on neutral alleys, then all nine players from each team will immediately be required to bowl a further three balls until a positive result is reached.

OFFICIAL RULES FOR FRONT PIN SKITTLES - (Not In Use)

1. Before any score counts the front pin must be struck first by a legal ball and downed.

2. If any ball bowled hits down pins other than the front pin in the first instance then those pins will not count toward the total scored and will not be reset.

3. In the event of a 'spare', only pins hit down after the front pin has been struck by a legal ball will be reset. Following this any pins downed legally by the spare ball or balls shall count towards the total.

4. Should the front pin be knocked down in any other means than by a legal ball then any remaining balls for that roll down will be forfeited.

5. Any ball that strikes the side of the alley before reaching the pins shall be deemed illegal.
