When a league does not have a rule allowing teams or individuals to bowl alone and compare scores, can an officer or the board of directors allow a team or individual to bowl unopposed?
Rule 110 states teams may bowl unopposed unless prohibited by league rule. Therefore, the league officers (or board) would have the authority to direct a team to bowl alone and have the scores compared with the opposing team. If an officer directed a team to bowl unopposed, the league board can still direct the two teams involved to actually bowl the match, as a postponement, when circumstances warrant that action. However, if league rules do not permit individuals to bowl alone, a league officer cannot give permission to do so.
