Did You Know?

According to USBC rules:

Absentee score vs. vacancy score the first night
If a bowler is not present the first week of bowling, which score should the bowler receive the first night – an absentee score or a vacancy score?

Unless the league has a rule to state otherwise, or a past practice has been established within the league, the league absentee score is used (Rule 105). If there is any question as to whether the bowler is on the team roster or what score should be used, the league board of directors (the team captains and officers) decides by majority vote.
