Myth Buster Myth: You can't bowl while a pin is in the gutter. Correct Answer: False. You are allowed to bowl, however a bowling ball must not come in contact with anything before hitting the pins on the pin deck. If the ball hits a pin in the gutter, otherwise know as dead wood, the delivery counts, but resulting pinfall does not count (Rule 6b-Illegal Pinfall). A downed pin on the lane is also dead wood. USBC recommends dead wood is removed prior to making a delivery so you do not lose your opportunity to score. Illegal pinfall can also occur when pins ricochet after hitting deadwood and knock down pins.
