Let’s get you started by saying that there are certainly several logical reasons why lane conditions vary in leagues and in tournaments from week to week or day to day.
Some changes in conditions can be surprising or even frustrating to bowlers and some might be welcomed?
Lane conditions may vary slightly because of the following general reasons:
*Adjusted volume of oil on a given pattern based on bowling linage and scoring.
*Extending or reducing the length of oil application.
*Adjusted ratios of oil application either across the lane, down the lane, or both.
*Humidity variations.
*Temperature variations.
*Mechanical malfunction issues with lane machines.
*Changes in the type of lane oil in use.
*Surface maintenance such as screening procedures or resurfacing the lane surfaces.
