What are ALIBI DOUBLES and how does it work?

So often, there are people you want to bowl doubles with, but because of time, money, or just plain tired, you don’t get the opportunity to bowl. Alibi doubles allows you to use your scores from the squad you are bowling on with other partners who are also bowling your squad.
