World Tenpin Bowling Association president Kevin Dornberger, United States, has announced that because of formal mistakes in decisions of some Bye Rules at last Presidium meeting, WTBA Presidium meeting in beginning of July had an email voting on some issues.

The result of this email voting effects some former published changes to be effective at WWC 2009 in Las Vegas.

  The Double Jump rule is cancelled and also a small correction of 4.21.1.d. To make it clear the effective 4.21.1 reads "Players preparing to step on the approach and deliver a ball shall have the following rights and obligations

• They may claim right of way only over a player moving to the approach or preparing to bowl on the lane immediately to their left
• They shall yield to a player moving to the approach or preparing to bowl on the lane immediately to their right
• Players shall be ready to bowl when it is their turn and shall not delay the start of their approach or delivery if the lane immediately adjacent to them on both the right and left are clear
• A player is given 30 seconds from the moment the previous bowler steps down from the approach to the time the ball leaves the hand of the bowler. Lane marshals will be given stop watches to randomly check the timing of the bowlers in their delivery

The Technical delegate Daniel Falconi has decided Stockholm for the short and Athens for the medium. You find the patterns here.
