Card Effective Date
Upon receipt of a membership application and the appropriate dues, membership will be valid:
a. For the season starting August 1 through July 31.
b. Through October 1 of the following season for summer leagues and tournaments. Youth who turn
20 during the season are not granted the October 1 extension for tournament play; youth
membership expires July 31 of the season in which they turn 20 years old. If a youth member
bowling in a summer league turns 20 during the season and the league continues beyond
July 31, the bowler may complete the league as a youth bowler. For individuals authorized
as mentally challenged, the age requirement is waived.
For membership to be effective as of the date purchased in a league, the league secretary/bowling
center must forward the league membership dues, application cards and league application to the
local association/league processor (youth) within 30 days. Otherwise, membership benefits are not
effective until the date received at the local association office/league processor (youth).
