This question gets asked at least once pre season, so I will try
to answer it to the best of my ability.

A persons average is based on the total amount of pins knocked down
and the number of games bowled.  What is never mentioned is the fact
that he/she has use a particular hand to throw the ball with.  It is
illegal for a bowler to roll half a game with one hand, and the other half
of the game with the other, there is nothing in the rule book that says
he can't roll one whole game with one hand and the other two games with
the other hand.

What has to be done now, is, that bowler will have two averages, one average
for the scores he/she bowls with the right hand, and one average with
the left hand.

This practice is done to keep a bowler from sandbagging (purposely bowling
with the wrong hand to gain a lower score to keep an average down for
handicap) in a league.
