When a bowler competes more than once, his or her first appearance in each event shall count towards his/her all events score. 11. Substitutes are allowed when replacement is necessary. The Tournament Director must be notified of substitution prior to the scheduled bowling time. If a substitute is used after the original bowler has commenced play, only the actual frames bowled by the original entrant shall constitute the bowler’s all events score should it be his/her first appearance in this event.
