I encourage everyone to do their own research, having a discussion grounded in fact is much more interesting and productive. Financials are impossible to deconstruct and the USBC is not very transparent for supposedly being a membership organization. Decline in membership was a primary reason they needed a dues raise.
After all the resources poured into PWBA, The Core, USBC Tournaments, "A Future for the Sport", the best they can do for local associations is a pdf about recruiting/retaining members that was updated six years ago. Come on man...really are you going to defend this?
