The league bowls a position round the last week, and after bowling there is a tie for first place. Do the teams involved bowl another complete 10th frame to determine the champion?
No. According to Rule 113, a playoff series would be bowled to determine the champion. If the league has no rules to govern the playoff, it would be conducted under the same rules that apply during the regular season. For instance, if the league bowls three games each session using the seven-point system (two points awarded for each game, plus one point for total pins), the playoff would consist of three games using the seven-point system. Another complete 10th frame would only be bowled if a tie exists at the end of the playoff series.
