2012-13 Summer Membership cards
As has been stated in past
editions of the eNews, USBC is currently working on the development of a new
membership system. This system is based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM, a customer
relationship management software package developed by Microsoft. The first
stages of this development and rollout deal with internal systems for
communicating with vendors and managing data.
Due to the implementation of this new system at USBC Headquarters, we were
unable to send our summer membership files to our membership card vendor until
the system was completed. Because of this, members will notice delays in
receiving their membership cards purchased in a summer league.
The system is now active and all summer memberships purchased between March 15
and September 1 have been sent to our vendor. Bowlers who have purchased a
membership during this time frame should expect to receive their card in the
coming weeks. Please understand that this is directly related to the
installation of the new system with USBC and was no fault of our vendor.
2011-12 Averages
A listing of the 2011-12 league averages can be
found by clicking on the "Averages" button on the left. These are all
the averages that were submitted to us by the league secretaries. There
were a couple of leagues that were not submitted and are not included.
All of the MPUSBC centers have a copy of the entire Yearbook League
secretaries that want one can pick it up at the league organizational meeting
from the MPUSBC Representative.
Averages can also be found on Bowl.com.
On the top right, click on "Find a...". A drop box will let you make a
choice to "Find a member" Click on that and it will bring up a new
screen where you can enter the name of the bowler you are searching for.
Be sure to enter the complete name, not nicknames. It is possible that a
bowler may not have their information available on Bowl.com. This could
be a result of them having checked the "omit from mailings' box on their
membership card. If this is the case, the bowler needs to contact USBC
Headquarters to have the box unchecked.
Summer league averages will be posted as they
are received from the league secretaries. Keep in mind that a USBC rule
passed by the delegates a couple of years ago now treat summer and winter the
averages the same. Unless otherwise noted in tournament rules, you must
your highest average, winter or summer, to enter the tournament.

Koizumi, King win titles
Jory Koizumi captured the 2012 Queens title by
defeating Bryanna Caldwell 493-417. Koizumi was undefeated in the double
elimination finals. She qualified 7th then defeated Brandi Wolfe, Savahna Porter

Stickney (defending), 5th Savahna Porter, 7th Brenda Burns and Mandy Etem.
Kyle King defended his title by defeating Lanndyn
Carnate in a one ball roll-off after they tied in their match 422-422. By
tournament rules, any tie in the 2 game double elimination finals would be
decided by a one ball sudden death roll-off until the tie is broken. In
this case, it determined the title. Kyle was undefeated so Lanndyn would have
needed to won twice. In their match, Kyle got 7 on the fill ball giving Lanndyn
a chance to strike out in the 10th frame to win. He got the first two but
got 9 on the last ball. Kyle elected to go first in the roll-off and threw
a strike. Lanndyn left a stubborn 10 pin to finish as runner-up.
Other finalists, 3rd 4-time Masters Champion Ben Laughlin, 4th Cliff Connors,
5th Randy Cote and Brett Wolfe, 7th Jim Pratt and Ron Schloss. With
winning back-to-back, King joins Ben Laughlin and Pete Partridge as the only
ones to successfully defend the title.
