[SOC] 20 FEET

[Jerry]

Many years ago, I took a 'Lane Inspectors Course' put on by the American 
Bowling Congress.. and could never figure out why 'Their System was used 
World Wide' ! We do Cm, mm, etc.. yet in Bowling, its 1/8's, 1/4's, etc.. !

A regulation bowling lane, including flat gutters, kickbacks, and the 
approach, must be constructed of wood and/or other synthetic materials 
which have been tested fully and approved for use by the /United States 
Bowling Congress/.

The approach extends from and is exclusive of the foul line and shall be 
an unobstructed level approach not less than 15 feet in length, free 
from depressions 1/4" or more, and not less than less than the width of 
the lane. The foul line must not be less than 3/8" nor more than 1" in 
width, extend across the entire width of the lane at a minimum, and be 
distinctly marked or embedded between the lane and the approach.

Are there any EU, AU Op's that can vouch for this ?  Is it still 'All 
Measured this Way' ?
