1.  If dressing is used, it shall meet specifications and must comply with the following:

     a.)  Dressing must be distributed from edgeboard to edgeboard for the entire distance that dressing is applied.

        (In the application of this rule, buffing the lane is considered applying dressing.)

     b.)  Following any application of dressing, in the dressed portion of the lane there shall be a minimum of

        three (3) units of dressing at all points on the lane surface.

     c.)  Any stripping (cleaning) of dressing from the lanes must be uniform from edgeboard to edgeboard and at

        least from the headpin to the distance to which dressing has been applied.

2.  The lane surfaces shall not be altered or conditioned to create a ball path or otherwise affect the course of the ball

    or pinfall by use of abrasives, dressings, or any other materials or methods.  (For example, and without intending

    any limitation of the rule, the resurfacer, owner, manager, and maintenance personnel are specifically prohibited

    from creating grooves or tracks in the lane to form a continuous ball path even though within allowable

    tolerances.

3.  Any adjustment or modification of lane maintenance equipment to create the conditions described in Item "2"

    above is specifically prohibited.

4.  Any local association representative designated by the association manager, as well as any authorized

    maintain its lanes.

     a.)  A minimum of one complying inspection per season shall be required from each center.

    NOTE... Although there is a minimum requirement, additional inspections can be performed at the discretion of

    the local association.  Should an inspection note noncompliance, additional inspections should be performed

    until compliance is met.
