In a knock-out competition, is player "B" allowed to practice before their second-round match?

In a knock-out competition, players are typically limited in their ability to practice between rounds to maintain a level playing field and respect for the competition’s integrity. However, it is commonly understood that if players seek approval from the Controlling Body, they may be allowed to practice. This ensures that any practice is organized and does not disrupt the competition or give any unfair advantage.

The Controlling Body can assess requests and determine whether practice can take place, taking into account the overall schedule and the conditions of the competition. This option allows for flexibility while also ensuring that all players are treated equally under the competition's rules and regulations.

The other options imply stricter or more restrictive practices that do not align with the typical governance of competitive bowling, where allowances can occasionally be made with proper consent.
