During the double elimination teams that did not bowl in the prior round will receive 30-minutes of practice on a designated pair of lanes before their schedule time to compete. If there is a televised final, participating teams will be allowed unlimited practice on a designated pair of lanes prior to each team's match. Each player will then be allowed two balls on each lane of the television final's pair. Bowlers not present forfeit their time. Violators will be disqualified from tournament play.
Substitutes receive eight practice throws before entering competition.
Practice will be on lanes one through four for teams competing on lanes seven through 22, and 45 through 48 for teams competing on lanes 27 through 42. A tournament official must monitor all practice. Any team making a lineup change during a Baker game will forfeit the entire game in which the change occurred. A lineup change made between Baker games does not affect using the extra player during the following game as a substitute. If there is a television finals, lineup changes will not be allowed, except for substitutions.
