What is considered sufficient cause for an emergency postponement?
WIBC/ABC/YABA define an emergency as an unforeseen combination of circumstances which makes it impossible for a team to field a legal lineup. Consequently, if three or four members of a five-person team have a variety of reasons for being unable to bowl (such as illness, sick child, being out of town, having to work unexpectedly) the combination of circumstances happening at the same time would be considered an emergency. The reasons for not being able to bowl would not have to be catastrophic – just beyond the team members’ control. After a bad storm, all but two teams were able to field legal lineups. Please explain why WIBC/ABC/YABA entitles those two teams to emergency postponements when all the other teams in the league were able to get to the lanes? Weather conditions which prevent a team from appearing are classified as emergencies under Rules 109b and 111b. Rule 111b states leagues shall grant postponements for emergencies when a team fails to appear for its scheduled match due
