Start of the Game
- A match will consist of two teams playing a best of Nine (9) series (the first team to win 5 games wins the match). Teams will roll at the same time.
- Groups must have at least 6 rollers on their roster to be elevated to Team status, however, the league reserves the right to place free agent rollers on teams with fewer than 12 rollers.
- Each team must have a minimum of 3 rollers per game.
- Teams will roll on the same lane throughout the match. If teams wish to choose their lane prior to the start of a match Captains or a designated player will play Rock Paper Scissors (best of one) for the choice of lane.
- Every ball must be rolled while standing with both feet on the ground and located behind the machines (i.e., no rolling from the side of the lane) Violating this rule will result in a score of zero for balls rolled during the infraction.
- Any shot thrown while observing the previous rules and counted by the machine (including Bank shots) are permitted.
- Balls that fail to enter the scoring zone and roll or otherwise return to the thrower are able to be re-thrown.
Scoring
- Skeeball scores presented on the machines screen will be divided by 10 (the zero dropped) to simplify scoring.
Scoring or Machine Malfunctions
Players are advised that the league plays on a variety ages, models, and styles, of machines and that scoring errors, are an inescapable aspect of the game. When a scoring error is made it is the responsibility of the witnessing party to IMMEDIATELY bring the scoring error to the attention of the other team and host. If both captains are able to agree upon the alternation of the score to fix the machine error the game may continue. If captains are unable to agree then the host will make a judgment ruling given the testimony of the captains and their personal knowledge of the machines. The ruling will be in the form of a score alteration and will be considered FINAL. Scoring errors do NOT result in rerolls or voids of frames.
