Will a 8-lb bowling ball dropped from the fifth floor drop before a 10-lb bowling ball?

Near the surface of the earth, all objects fall with the same acceleration; after any period
of time spent falling, all objects are falling with the same speed, and have fallen the same
distance. If there's any difference in falling behavior between two objects, it's the result of
air resistance. If they fall through a region where there is no air, a feather and a battleship
fall with the same acceleration. If they're dropped side by side, they stay side by side all the
way down.
This has been known for roughly the past 500 years.
Right. The gravitational attraction is bigger, but so is the inertia in the same ratio.

Does the bowling ball have to cross the foulline before it hits the floor to be legal?
No.
Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?
No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.
