Summer Season Leagues
Just because your winter league has ended doesn't
mean you should stop bowling. Summer leagues are forming at all of the
Metro Phoenix centers. This is a good time to try one of the PBA Experience or
USBC Pattern leagues. These leagues use lane conditions that are more
challenging. While you will certainly average less than what you are accustomed
to bowling, you will find that the more you bowl on these patterns, the better
you will get. So get in out of the heat and go bowling!
Winter League Averages
As the league secretaries submit the final
averages, we are getting them posted as quickly as we can. Typically, you
will find the average on bowl.com within a week of when we receive them.
If you need a 2009-2010 average verification for a tournament, most will now
accept the bowl.com printout. If you do not see the average online, you
might want to check with your league secretary to make sure they were submitted.
Missing your USBC Membership card?
As bowlers are preparing for tournaments this
time of year, many bowlers are realizing that they did not get their membership
card or lost it. To obtain a replacement card, go to
www.bowl.com, in the right corner there is a
drop down box that says "Find a......" Click on "Find a member". It
will bring up a new page where you can enter your name or USBC ID#. You
must have the pop-up blocker turned off for this page to come up. Enter
your information then click on your name when it comes up. This will bring
up your USBC record. You can then reprint your membership card. This
printed version is acceptable at all USBC tournaments and is the method USBC has
us issue replacements.
