bowling question

[Loreena]

If I hit all the pins but one stands back up and the pinsetter picks it up it says a 9 but shouldn't it be corrected to a strike?

 

[SirChadwick]

Huh, how did this pin stand up on its own?

 

[pstylesss]

Was it a weebl?

 

[axelfox]

Did one get knocked down and then miraculously came back up? How did the pin get knocked down have then have the pin setter pick it up?

 

[Loreena]

It did not fall completely over but slid from the five position to the seven position! I thought it would be out of range but the pinsetter grabbed it tilted and it was rocking when it set it back down! If a pin moves completely away from its position it should count as fallen right? That's what I get for using a 9 pound ball I guess!

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Hell no it doesn't count. You need to knock them down, not move them. And while rare it is possible for a pin to fall down completely and bounce back up again. And that doesn't count either. If it's standing when the pinsetter comes down, it's standing.

Ditto.

You should use a beach ball next time.

 

[TallBill]

Uh, gotta knock down the pins... are you fucking stupid? That's like saying that a basketball shot hit the box on a backboard but didn't go in, so it should count as a basket.

No. Not even if it falls then stands back up. Not even if the automatic pinsetter can't pick it up or even if it knocks it down. In that event you are required to call for assistance in getting the pin spotted correctly (closest spot). I've seen a head pin hit the left side wall, bounce back on the deck, take out the 10, and remain standing, get knocked over by the pinsetter, and get spotted back up, as the 10 pin, by the human.

Thanks for an intelligent response. No I'm not f'ing stupid but apparently many people on the forum are f'ing rude. No wonder this place is full of lonely virgins! :thumbsdown:

lol, more like the ball went into the hoop and then hit someone below and bounced back out.

You must be new here.
ATOT is not known for its compassion.
Or intelligence.
Or empathy.
Or humanity.

........I'm actually not sure what ATOT is known for.

NEF perhaps?

How is asking if you are fucking stupid rude? Now if I called you fucking stupid then yes I could see how that would not be favorable. I was just curious.

Not sure what your connection on perceived rudeness to virginity is though. Is it because you are female and expect some sort of special treatment?

That is weird.. I am always screaming and gesturing at the screen while I post. Even seemingly calm posts like this, I am in fact yelling and threatening to kill you. But you wouldn't know that usually from my posts, this one being the exception because I told you.

Yeah, I've broken several keyboards because my standard method of typing is to smash the keys with a rock hammer while screaming obscenities in a thick Irish brogue. I should set up a webcam too...

At least during this entire charade I'm still the champ

Actualy, you chose to post on a forum filled with jaded internet veterans with little patience for stupid questions. Too late to complain if you have been here 2 months posting already...

Oh sorry. I meant to preface that whole thing with, "What, are ya new?". My bad. Take lessons or something. Sheesh! Dipshit women...

Also, TallBill, your avatar makes you look like a douche. Since people pick dogs that look like them, I suppose something similar applies here.

OK, where are my virgins? (or did I miss something?)
