The Sport Bowling program requires an optional level of membership.
The program consists of leagues and tournaments conducted on
more challenging lane conditions. This form of competition is an
opportunity for all bowlers to determine their true skills in such areas
as accuracy, consistency, spare shooting and the ability to read lanes.
Sport Bowling’s mission statement is: “Committed to the integrity of
the game and the advancement of the serious bowler.” With the
credibility of the game becoming even more of a focus as we move
forward, more effort is being made around the Sport Bowling
program. Local associations can really make a difference.
Since the conception of the program in 2000-01, many of the
challenging aspects of hosting a Sport Bowling league or tournament
have been eliminated. While we hope that local associations will be a
part of Sport Bowling leagues, it is no longer required. Proprietors
and/or head mechanics can USBC Association Leader’s Handbook
supply tapes and graphs every week if they have the equipment. If the
center does not have the equipment to check lanes, the local
association is encouraged to do it for them.
To assist in implementing or advancing a Sport Bowling program in
your area, USBC Headquarters has several promotional items
available to proprietors at no charge. Our latest is a promotional kit
for the new PBA Experience leagues, which includes: a 4’ x 6’ banner,
two full size posters, table tents, brochures, and a brochure stand.
Please have proprietors call (800) 514-BOWL, ext. 3177 to order.
Here’s how simple it is to host a league:
Center certification
1. Go to the Sport Bowling section of bowl.com and register the
center. (Takes about 2-3 minutes)
2. Oil one pair of lanes with a Sport pattern.
3. Take tapes and graphs on those two lanes and send/fax them to
USBC Headquarters.
