A half ten is not a great shot. No, you shouldn't have carried it.

Title: Re: cherry vibe is MONEY
Post by: Spider Ball Bowler on September 01, 2007, 09:36:46 AM: Well then Ryan, I say congrats. I was always under the asumption that once you received money for doing your sport or whatever, that your amateur status would be given up and you could no longer participate.

Anyways, how do you have the Cherry drilled?

Post by: bluerrpilot on September 01, 2007, 09:42:23 AM: I thought the money had to be reported to USBC and then sent to some kind of fund for college.

Post by: DP3 on September 01, 2007, 10:20:26 AM: FYI, College bowlers are able to bowl PBA events as guests only. You are allowed two cashes per season and then you must either declare PBA membership and lose your eligibility, or you can forego the PBA card and retail your college eligibility.

I know the USBC Collegiate rulebook front and back as this will be my third year coaching a collegiate team.

Can you explain how the Masters is not a PBA event???

And yes, Lambert bowled as an Amateur, but still received the money.

The Masters is first and foremost a USBC event that is open to everyone with a qualifying average. That simply means that there will be a LOT of PBA memebers in the tournament.

Post by: applegam on September 01, 2007, 12:49:35 PM: Anyway, back to the original topoic. Nice bowling Ryan. I just punched up a Cherry Vibe too, looking forward to trying it out.

Post by: NJStroker on September 01, 2007, 04:03:46 PM: Well wut i think it was, is that, mens bowling is not certified by the ncaa and so they can do pba events and win money and still be in college. I think once it becomes part of the ncaa that privilege will be gone.

Post by: RevLefty on September 01, 2007, 04:40:24 PM: I have to agree with ryan i only trew mine a game but it is CHERRY. Pun is intended. It is a little sooner than the purple vibe but is a much smoother rolling ball with a ton of power. It is my benchmark ball on any house condition. Lefthander no more have converted to the right side due to an injury. Up to a 180 average in two months.

Post by: TWOHAND834 on September 03, 2007, 02:29:45 PM: For those that are not aware, the Masters is a USBC Event; not a PBA event. That is why there was some discussion about Walter Ray and his run at the career title mark as he had won the Masters but was not considered an official PBA Event. Art Brown made the telecast a couple years back while still in school as well. Brian Valenta was at the Super Hoinke last year being a collegiate player. If memory serves me correctly, the rule is that a college bowler CAN bowl for money so long as it is not their "primary income".

Post by: willie makeit on September 04, 2007, 07:46:23 AM: Men's college bowling is NOT an NCAA sport. Therefore the rules are different as far as accepting money, i.e. bowling tournaments or bowling league as "adult". Women's bowling is different as many of the women's programs belong to the NCAA. Some however, like Wichita State do not belong to the NCAA but another intercollegiate association. Sounds stupid, but it's like boxing where competing organizations run their own championships. PBA rules are different again in that once you cash twice in the same year, you must become a member if you bowl again. Matt O'Grady is now in this situation and will probably not do so since he is still bowling collegiately. As for youth, as unfortunate as it is, the USBC now allows youth to bowl in any singles event (USA Team Trials, PBA regionals, even the US Open) etc. where prize money exists as long as they sign a waiver so the money can go to a USBC/SMART scholarhsip account. I personally disagree with this as I believe youth should be youth and need to grow up and mature both in their game and attitude, however USBC obviously knows more than me.
