Playing Rules. All contests shall be conducted under the official bowling rules of the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) in conjunction with the rules and modifications approved by the Nebraska School Activities Association. A team shall consist of no more than seven bowlers (five bowlers and two substitute bowlers). A team may have an unlimited number of bowlers within their high school program. Teams will normally compete in playing strength of five bowlers. If a school is unable to field a complete team (five bowlers) individual bowlers for that school may compete if the school has at least three individual bowlers. An absentee score of zero will be placed for missing roster members. A written team roster consisting of no more than seven players will be exchanged between both head coaches before each game (Traditional). Changes (additions or removals) to the team roster are not allowed once the first ball of the game has been thrown. The written roster must include the player lineup order (and substitutes) for that specific game (Traditional). Once a tournament begins a team roster cannot be changed (no additions or removals from the roster). Changes to a team’s lineup order can only be made at the start of each game (Traditional). After a lineup has been submitted to the opposing coach, no changes to the lineup order can occur.
