I support the USBC because...
« on: February 14, 2011, 03:29:30 AM »
Why do support the USBC? Just like the annoying commercial that airs during PBA Events.

 

I Support the USBC because...their are no unsanctioned Scratch/Sport/Money leagues in the area. I also support the USBC Because I like to bowl tournements and for some I need a sanctioned average.

They are the only game in town.  That may well be unfortunate for those of us who bowl sanctioned tournaments.

Because without a governing body, chaos will ensue.

So I was watching the USBC Masters yesterday and as they were showing the USBC President and the CEO/Director on the telecast, my wife walks in the room, looks at the TV and says "So those are the people who lick the envelopes and send you the fridge magnets????"

 

To which I could only reply "Yup...after they are done with the tournament they're gonna get back to sending those magnets out..."

Be nice if they paid attention to your average before they sent those things out, or sent them to you for something real.  Like somebody averages 190 and they get a 600 magnet, or a 225 game magnet . . why?  If you average 190, you'll shoot 600 probably 1/3rd of the time, and have tons of games over 225.

 I'm a member because I have to, but I never got no friggin' magnet!!!  Geez, somebodies holding out. Btw, those jerseys are ugly, but my kids wear Em at home because they're comfortable and no one can see them. Lol.

I know it sounds like I'm in denial, but I'm not.

It costs so much for sanction fees and Nationals entry fees and I get nothing in return.

That's a lousy excuse. I bowl in a non-sanctioned league and we have no chaos. It took a good bit of work to write our rules but the only chaos we have is the center's equipment at times. IMO it's just an excuse for people who don't really want to write rules, and 'go it alone'.


If you don't want my opinion, don't ask. If you don't like my opinion, ignore my posts. Have A Nice Day .

You have no chaos because everyone uses USBC rules to govern play.

 

Un-sanctioned leagues could come up with any rule they wanted. No fouls, 8+ pins count as strikes, etc.

 

What would ball companies do without certification? Pin manufactures?

 

Houses already cheat on lane patterns, what about pulling in the kick boards? Raising the gutters?

 

Without some santioning governing body everything is fair game. It is bad enough as it is and the BPAA is taking over.
