I just came back from our State Tournament here in WA.
I was appalled at the lack of no standards for a dress code for the Team Event.
I just wrote a letter to my District voicing my concerns on this.
Does the dress code exsist in your State/Local Tournament??

Two years ago I did the same thing in the state of indiana, people in cut offs, sleevless shirts and the such, mine fell on deaf ears, Dress codes unfortunately have fallen by the wayside

No hats/caps/hair rags
Jeans, shorts and non-collared shirts are allowed as long as they are tasteful and not torn. Collared shirts and long jeans/pants preferred.

Collared shirt, slacks or golf-ish type of shorts, no cutoffs, no "gym shorts", no hats.
So, in other words, just please show up dressed presentably. Seems just like common sense to me.

Pants, or dress shorts (jeans are fine too). Collared shirt, or a mock neck shirt, provided that it's from a bowling company.
No hats
No cutoffs
etc

10. DRESS CODE: Members of the Board of Directors of NMUSBC request that all bowlers wear suitable attire when participating in the tournament; Slacks, Skirts or walking shorts to the knee, bowling shirts or blouses are preferred. UNSUITABLE ATTIRE: Tank tops, Workout Attire (e.g.-Spandex, Sweatpants), Short Shorts (if a bowler’s fingers are below the hemline, the shorts are considered too short and not suitable). Bib Overalls, Torn or Unclean Jeans, Shirts or T-shirts with offensive language/pictures, and Hats. VIOLATIONS: Entrants will be required to change to suitable attire. Entrants who refuse to wear suitable attire will not be allowed to bowl. Tournament management reserves the right to refuse participation to anyone deemed to be inappropriately attired without recourse. Attire needed for medical reasons has to be discussed with Tournament management before the tournament.

States with some form of Dress code: Texas,Alabama,New Jersey, South Dakota, Massachusetts, New Mexico.
States without a Dress code. Montana, Indiana, Minnesota, Washington.
If these are incorrect let me know, As soon as I get some more states listed I plan on passing this information along to my association to see if I can get them to adopt a dress code.

There - 2 cents from AZ
On edit...
DRESS CODE RULE: Participants will wear a shirt with a “butterfly†type or “neck-high†collar with sleeves. Hemmed shorts*, skorts*, and jeans (with no holes) will be allowed. *NOTE: Skirt, skort, and short hemlines must extend beyond bowler’s fingertips when standing relaxed and arms are extended downward at the bowler’s side. Prohibited attire includes, but is not limited to: tank top shirts, cut offs, short shorts, headgear (allowed for medical reasons only), sweats, spandex. Shirts with inappropriate or vulgar pictures or writing will not be allowed. Failure to comply, bowler will not be allowed to bowl and cause forfeiture of entry fees. Tournament director or designee’s decision as to appropriateness of attire will be final.
Right off the entry...

No Shorts.
No Jeans.
No hats.
Entrants obliged to wear a bowling shirt(with the name of their club on the back).
The thing is, everyone complies and nobody complains.

In general over here, it's no denim, collared shirt (mocks allowed) no shorts for men (ridiculous rule) some finals require a named shirt, but most don't.

We enforce our dress code in our High School conference. When I was bowling conference singles a few (7 or 8) years ago.. We had parents complaining about buying their kids slacks..
I'd bet money than 95% of those kids walked in with 4/5 of the latest bowling balls....
I live in washington but have never bowled the state tournament. I would have thought they'd have a dress code...guess not.

The events are inside in a controlled environment I don’t understand why people have problem dressing decently.
The one that amazes me is the USBC nationals. There are always complaints about their dress code. Virtually all the bowlers will spend hundreds of dollars to travel and enter the tournament. Have a thousand in equipment with them but balk at spending 60 bucks for a decent pair of slacks and a shirt.
But the last few weddings and funerals I’ve been too I have been amazed at that the casual dress at these events.

Old jeans overalls only, cutoff at the knees. Shirt, bra (for ladies or moobies), and confederate flag baseball hat optional. You must bring a spit pouch if you will be chewing tobacco during the tournament. Spirit award will be assigned to teams showing pride by wearing matching greasy handkerchiefs in rear pocket.

You forgot "drop hundreds of dollars in brackets".
Just kidding about the Joe-Jah dress code btw, couldn't resist the jab though, it's amazing what you see in league down here

Most people that I talk to say the dress codes are a farce. Personally I think that dress cosed are a sign of respect. Respect yourself and respect the game.

City tournament for our area says pants, no shorts and no hats. It doesn't specifically require collared shirts as many wear t-shirts. But tank tops are not allowed.
When we bowled States last year, I believe it was the same.
Two weekends ago I bowled with my son in a Youth/Adult tournament and shorts were allowed, but it does say dress shorts. Tanks and hats were not allowed.

no jeans or jean shorts, no gym shorts or sweats no tank top and all shirts have to have a sleeve.
Shorts should come to your knees.
Women can wear sleeveless as long as it is a nice shirt no cut offs.
