Welcome to the fun sport of synchronized bowling. Three people work as a team and all have to toss the ball at the same time. Scoring is based on accuracy of throw, grace and poise, the final pose, and of course body language. The guy in the middle lost points because he crossed the foul line. But he did earn points for a perfect "hood ornament pose" as they call it. The guy by the wall lost points because he held the wall, and the other end, doesn't look like he tried hard at all.
This is best performed in a small alley like this one. It's helpful to have your own shoes, imagine how silly this would look if they had to wear actual bowling shoes?
