injured score

[Kathy Davis]

Will the program recognize the actual pins knocked down by a bowler who leaves the game after the 3rd frame? I figured the injured score based on the absentee average plus actual pinfall, but shouldn't the bowler be credited with the actual pincount of the 3 frames bowled? And shouldn't 1 game be added to their total games bowled?

You do not include a partial game in a bowler's average. An injury score is just like an absent score but includes a few frames bowled. The score is entered with an "I" (for injury) and the program handles it just as the USBC requires.

Thanks for the answer. I was under the impression that partial scores did not count toward an average, but I have a bowler in the league who nitpicks everything! She thought the bowler should get credit for actual pins knocked down. I found the rule (118a) and will show her next league night.

Thanks again for your help.
