a quick question

[fitzy]

whilst bowling last night i left a 4,7 10 split. i covered the 4,7 and 1 pin bounced out the back hit the sweep and rolled in front of the 10 pin.a bit later a friend said if it had taken the 10 pin it wouldnt of counted because it came off the sweep and was therefore dead..is this true???

at my lanes.
by the time the sweep is down, the thing that grabs the pins, would have grabbed the pin already securing it to move it up, even if the a pin would have rolled back and hit a still standing pin, it can not tumble it anymore.

it was the 2nd shot so the sweep would have just swept them away

I believe it doesn't count if it hits the sweep.

I picked that spare up in a turnament last weekend with out the sweep .
